I’m a long time skateboarder who loves everything about skateboarding. I take pride in how much skateboarding has influenced my life by always being connected to the skateboard world around me and locally. I’m a full time Dad to my daughter Hallie and boyfriend to my wonderful lady Jeanette. I work a full time Job and still find time to skate. I own a skateboarding website called “Skate The 208″ which brings local skaters together to showcase their photos, videos and any skateboard related information. Check it out @ sk8the208.webs.com

Odds And Extras:
I love candy, I like the radio, I’m obsessed with shoes, I hate worn down griptape and shoes and I stretch out all my T-shirts!

I was born in Oceanside, California. The sports I like the most seem to be the ones that come along with the worst injuries: snowboarding, wakeboarding, riding dirt bikes, and golf. I grew up in Hood River, Oregon and rode at Mt. Hood Meadows through junior high and high school. I’ve been riding for twelve years and competing for nine. I live in Boise, Idaho now and I’m currently riding on Atomic Axum and love it. I ride for the coolest shop in Boise, The Board Room. I would have to say a perfect day for me is being on the mountain with my friends.

To me, the best thing about skateboarding is it’s complete freedom. I can do what I want and skate what I want. There’s no bro’s or soccer moms, just me and my skate. I love to skate street, tranny and handrails. Anything bigger than a 9 stair = death for me! Favorite tricks include crail slides, crooks and switch nose grinds. My favorite place to skate is really anywhere, I just love to shred. Favorite music I am listening to currently includes RjD2, NAS, Junky XL or anything that get’s me grooving. I spend 80% of my daily life thinking about Art and/or skateboarding. My guilty pleasure is drinking Chocolate Milk in the shower. See you on the dance floor!

I am a 25 year old transplant from Vermont where the winters are rough and we don’t get as much snow! I live in Boise and have been loving life ever since I moved here. I love snowboarding more than anything as it provides me with so many different important purposes; an outlet, a challenge, time to hang with friends, a way to express myself and so on. If you ever wanna go get some turns, stop into the Boardroom and tell somebody!

Chris Kygar here. I was born in Portland, OR and have been skating for the last 9 years. I love to travel the world meeting new people and of course, I gotta have my music. The most important things to me is my friends and family. I enjoy BBQ’, rafting the river, camping and of course skateboarding. Live life and don’t take if for granted. Have fun!

What’s up! I’m Andrew Davey, 19 years old and I currently reside in Boise, ID. I live for snowboarding and the mountains and no matter what the terrain, backcountry, park or urban, I’ll be sure to throw down. Balls to the wall baby! But really, I’m a smart, fun rider always looking for a good time and when I’m not on my snowboard, you can find me skating or wakeboarding and always having a good time. Spread the shred!

Born in Hayward, CA and raised in Boise, ID. I started skating in 94′ and have been getting after it ever since. Moved to Portland, OR in 08′, skating all the areas parks and enjoyed having a mini ramp in my back yard. Returned to Boise, ID for work in 2010. Through out the years, skating has introduced me to most of my friends and has always served as a great stress reliever!

I grew up in Eagle, ID and started snowboarding when I was 14. After High School I worked at Bogus Basin as an instructor and at The Boardroom. I entered some contests and won the Forum Young Blood at age 20, and feel that, that really opened the door to snowboarding for me. Now I enjoy slashes in the pow and riding the park every chance I get between working full time in youth ministry and running a screen printing company.

I love to skate! I currently reside in Meridian, ID. I began skating when I was in 6th Grade. When I first started, I was very surprised with how had it was to do even a simple trick. I think that is what has kept me going all these years. Skating grounds me and has helped me become who I am today. Spending hours and hours trying to perfect that one trick I set out to learn, the feeling is absolutely indescribable. I like everything from pushing down the street to carving bowls and jumping down stairs. I am not picky when it comes to skating, I just want to get out there, have fun and learn new things! As long as I am riding my board, I am hyped! There are many skateboards I look up to including but not limited to: Cory Kennedy, Shane O’Neill and Shane Cross (RIP) as they all inspire me. When it comes to music, I like anything I can jam to. Music will always be a big part of everyone’ lives, but it really is my motivation for life in general. Artists I spend most of my time listening to include: Lil Wayne, Drake, Mumford and Sons, MGMT, Modest Mouse, Pantera and The Bravery as well as anything my girl is listening to. Something, not many people know about me (yet!) is that one of my guilty pleasures is watching chick flicks with my girlfriend. In conclusion, I have lived for skating for so much of my life and I enjoy every second of it. I plan on skating for as long as I possibly can! Thanks for reading a little bit about me, I hope everyone has as much fun skateboarding as I do!

Been shredding for 20+ years and always looking for more “Fun Points” than Matt! The perfect resort run includes pow turns, rails and ropes to duck or jump.

YO! TJ Hughes here and I shred the gnarr. I have been skateboarding for the last 9 years now and I will never stop. Skateboarding for me isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life. Everything I do revolves around skateboarding. I am always stoked to be on my skateboard and you will never see me upset, have an attitude or ever see me break a skateboard on purpose. I skate them until they are dead and then get a new one. I like to think that I am cool with all the skaters, bikers and bladers in the Boise scene, but who knows. We are all in this scene together, and getting along with each other always makes for a better time. I think that most people in Boise get along pretty well because everyone seems to know everyone. There will always be a few kids with negative attitudes that we cannot change. It’s just kids being kids and they will eventually grow out of it.

I have worked at The Boardroom as a Buyer and the Skateboard Team Manager for 4 years now and love every bit of it. For that, I have to throw out a huge thank you to Chris Heise for making it all possible, to be able to work within the sport and industry I love. He has shown me a bigger side of skateboarding than I could have ever imagined. In 2008, I attended one of the last ASR Tradeshows which blew my mind. From seeing the level of California skateboarding, to seeing pro skaters that have shaped the way we see skateboarding today. I have met Jamie Thomas, Chris Cole, Lindsey Robertson, Corey Duffle, Chet Thomas, Rodney Mullen and the legend himself, Steve Caballero. That will always be one of my most memorable trips.

In the summer of 2009, I taught skateboard lessons for the YMCA. This opportunity along with my position at The Boardroom has changed the way I see skateboarders in the community. Before this, I could go to a skatepark and keep to myself and hang out with friends. Now, I go to a skatepark and feel the urge to to talk to kids and show them a trick tip or two. It made me want to help out the kid that was at the park trying to figure out a trick. Just seeing how fast some of these little groms catch on is incredible! You show a kid a trick, and a week later he can do it better than you. That’s progression at it’s finest. So if you’re reading this and need a trick tip, hit me up ha!

All in all skateboarding has made me who I am today. I couldn’t imagine a life without this simple piece of wood underneath my feet. I’d probably be working at a fast food joint, going paycheck to paycheck, drinking Kool-Aid, allergic to sunlight, playing Dungeons and Dragons, living at home and looking like a hairy raisin. So… Get off the couch, grab a skateboard and stick to it, you’ll never regret it. Peace I’m out!!!!

I grew up in Montana riding at Whitefish Resort. I am currently finishing up at BSU to learn how to someday make materials for my own snowboards. You can always find me in the park either lapping jumps or playing S-N-O-W with other guys on the team. I would say a perfect day on the mountain for me consists of chilling with friends and sessioning a couple lines or features all day and just getting stoked off of each other and the nature of progression. Then capping it off with a smooth edit.

I have been skating since I was 2 years old. I wake up and skate no matter what it’s like outside. Skating helps keep me grounded. Chilling with homies, playing a good game of skate or taken on downtown! Whatever we can find to hit up. My sponsors include The Boardroom and MT Theory, the chillest homies ever! We film at Rhodes, Eagle, Tully and Fort Boise, Otherwise we’re out street skating. I enjoy traveling to Vegas, Utah, Montana and other parts of Idaho to experience other skateparks. These have been some of the sickest experiences for me. Skateboarding is my heart… It’s what I do and who I am! special thanks to some of my biggest supporters, my family and friends. Without them, well I’d still be skating but they make it even better! I’m out. See you on the street!

Coming from Iowa, where we rode frisby golf course hills for fun, to Idaho was the best move of my life. I have been riding for 11 years and 6 of them in Idaho. I love riding powder shots and hitting HUGE jumps!

Hi! I’m Jake Jacobs and I am 11 years old. I have been on a skateboard since I was 1 1/2 years old. I love to skate and listen to my three favorite bands – Rush, Slayer and Metallica. It really gets my adrenaline pumping through my veins. My favorite park in Boise is Fort Boise mainly because I love to skate tranny. 360′s and Airwalks are my favorite tricks. Guilty pleasures include running around the house naked!

DGK All Day

Home Grown in Idaho. I live in Middleton, ID and have resided here my whole life. I’ve been Snowboarding for the last 5 years and really taken to it. When I was 15, I mowed lawns all summer to save up enough for my first Snowboard and have been hooked ever since. In the off season I ride my dirt bike, camp, hunt, fish and whatever else I can do to keep my mind off Snowboarding until the snow flies again! I love to Snowboard!

Hey Hey, Riley here. I’ve been skating ever since I was 4 years old. I’m now 12 years old and prefer boards 7.75″-7.8″ range. My favorite shoes are Vans styles from the late 60′s to early 80′s and I am currently a kids size 3 and mens size 4. The only pants I wear are Levis skinny jeans, but they are always loose fitting on me so it isn’t too gay. The thing I like most about skateboarding is that it doesn’t matter how tall you are. For example, I am 4′ 8″ and shred harder than any other 12 year olds I have met or know. On the other hand, Tony Hawk is 6+” tall and is an amazing skateboarder!
I’m an ok street skater but I rip at tranny like no other. I rip up Logan, UT and Fort Boise parks with my moms boyfriend, Scott. My favorite trick that I have learned so far, is a kickflip melon over a 4′ tall trash can in Logan, UT. I don’t listen to a lot of music, but when I do, I like to listen to Afroman, Metallica, Mickey Avalon and Megadeath. The person who inspires me most is David Gravett, because he skated the same stuff that I live on, like I live next to a few perfect skate spots and my nieghbor has a pool we skate. One of the most embarrassing things that i’ve done is singing Baby by Justin Bieber!

I grew up riding Idaho’s resorts, so naturally I love the Powder! Even more so than the park, but I still have a blast smashing out laps in the park on a nice clear day. I have spent the last 4 years living in McCall, Idaho. During this time I worked at Brundage and Tamarack on park crew. I currently reside in Boise and have been spending a lot of my time this winter, shredding Bogus Basin.

My real passion lies in building new snowboard features. Although I all my jumps and jibs, I really love it when something outrageously sick gets thrown down after I’ve just finished with the final scrapes on the run-in.

What up? I’m Bo Montgomery and I have been skating for about 11 years now. Skateboarding is definitely my passion. I’ll skate til I can’t walk. No rules, no boundaries, no time limits…a true example of poetry in motion. I love to teach younger kids how to skate as well. I mean, look at Jake Jacobs, he’s my little cousin and he is on the team too. I always find myself getting a new board before I need one just so I can hand one down to the kid at the park that is riding the most haggard one at the time. I’ll do everything I possibly can to keep skateboarding fun and popular. Some kids are unfortunate and need the “hand me downs” and I’m always willing to help whenever possible. If any kids ever have questions about how to do a trick you see me doing, please don’t hesitate to ask. Anyway, that’s all I’ve got for now. Hope to see you guys on the streets. Peace

I’ve been in Idaho most of my life. I’ve been snowboarding for 17 years, shooting photos for the last 10 years. I have worked with The Boardroom snow team the last three years, serving as their principal photographer. I was really into park riding until I figured out how to snowmobile. Now I just want to spend all my time in the backcountry!

I started skating 5 years ago back in 8th grade. I’ve kept with it despite all of my injuries and it has become the most important thing in my life. Skateboarding gives me confidence and a great self esteem. It mellows me out when I’m having a rough day and I’m always looking forward to the next time I’m on my skate. I hope I have the ability to skate until I can no longer walk. See you out there!

Grew up a C-town kid shredding Bogus with my brother as much as possible in between soccer.  Was super intense on the soccer scene and eventually helped me pay for college.  While in college though joined the snowboard team thought it was more fun to travel and shred.  Moved around quite a bit since then, finally seeing my decision to drop out of school for snowboarding paying off as I work for a snowboard company now!  Other than the shred, I started a bike gang called the SteezBotWierdos, we keep the streets of Boise safe haha.  An awesome pow day with the friends and any fresh is ideal, but no matter the condition I am always the guy that is stoked to the max and ready to charge :0  SteezBotz Unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s funny funny how i look at my past when i started to skate. I was 14 when i picked up a board when i went to  my friends house across the street from my house, but this dude was a biker and I looked around his garage and i found a weak set up and got on it. I was the only Mexican bombing down hills with G-Unit Mids in the sub division that i lived in. Ever since then i started to go to the park then i got the hang of it after i tried my first 50-50; I know that i had to progress and have fun with it. I currently live and skate in Nampa, I love it here and most people are the other way around. I love it, experienced everything here. I look up to the kids at the park, one reason is that they want me to do something new every day and push me till i get it, and half the time I just get over it and I just do old school stuff around the park, but when it’s a good sesh i have to land it no matter what. I love to listen to Grizzly Bear, The Meligroveband, Mellowdrone, and some lil wayne when i feel it haha. I’m pretty chill person to skate with, but i love to mess around.

I’m 19 years old and have spent all 19 here in good old Boise, Idaho. I’ve Spent my years riding the nazi run Bogus Basin and dreaming about what Tamarack could have been! But we gotta live with the cards at hand. Besides the hostess thinking they run the show, I’ve managed to make some amazing memories at Bogus Basin! As far as Photography, I’ve been Fasinated with it for as long as i can remeber! I love every bit of the industry and will do whatever it takes to shred everyday!

Idaho homegrown, I grew up riding Bogus Basin with all my buds. I live to shred!! From park to pow, it’s all good* I’m currently living in McCall ID., where I help with the Brundage park crew in the winter and spend my summers longboarding. I also love strawberry milk and ketchup on my eggs..

I am a homegrown Idahoan. I grew up riding Bogus Basin way back when and started out on skis. Switched over to snowboarding in 2000 and have been on my board ever since. I started moving up to Valley County for the winters in 2006 and have been loving it ever since. Got into building park at Brundage as well which has been super fun and has been really cool to see the progression of riders and features grow. All I can say in this sport is, keep on slashin!

International Rider – Oscar Sundell

I’m a 19 year old dude, born in Stockholm and currently live in Skövde, Sweden. I made one year in Boise, Idaho as an exchange student and met the boardroom guys as I attended the Under armor railjam. I snowboard everyday as there’s snow on the ground. I love competing, having fun with friends at the mountain or even snowboard by myself with my headphones plugged in with a heavy metal riff shredding in my ears. I’m really looking forward to ride for TBR this season and I will do everything I can to rep TBR in Sweden. Follow me and my friends in Sweden at thescandinavianhoboes.blogspot.com

I grew up gapin’ around Bogus as a wee little lad and would say I’ve been at it for…10 years maybe? Either way, whenever I finally got on a board it took over and I’ve been shredding ever since. After high school I took a couple years to go ride in some different places. I was fortunate enough to be able to ride Brighton for a season, and Steamboat and Breck last year. Now I”m back in Boise and couldn’t be more stoked! I love snowboarding and the friendships and memories it creates. Nothing makes me happier in this world than being on top of a mountain with all the kids I grew up learning this with, there’s nothing else like it!

I’m from Middleton, Idaho. I grew up on skis, chasing my parents down the mountain before i could even ride a bike. For my 11th birthday my parents gave me a snowboard, I was never going back to skis after that first season. I lead my high school ski and snowboard team during my junior and senior years at Middleton High, also taking trips to Grand Targhee both years. I traveled to Whistler Blackcomb in BC shortly after that, only to learn that this is what I want to be doing for the rest of my life until I am phisically unable. Now I am spending my winters shredding as much as possible, traveling to new locations, and having the best time possible with all of my friends!
