http://www.bneeth.com/ en-us (Monday December 17th 2007) After much speculation and an industry-wide rumour mill, StepChild Snowboards is proud to announce the signing of JP Walker to the International Pro Team. "JP's riding and dedication to snowboarding speaks for itself- not many snowboarders have remained at the top of their class for over ten years. We are absolutely thrilled to have him on the team. It's cool that we share the same values and beliefs as to what a snowboard company and team should be." - StepChild founder Sean Johnson. "Where else would I end up? Come on, you know I keep it one-hunney! StepChild is one of the last true snowboard companies out there. I love that they value what a professional rider brings to the table. Rider owned and driven, others claim it but none live it, son!" - JP Walker. Simon Chamberlain adds, "Growing up watching snowboard videos, JP Walker has always been my favourite snowboarder of all time. It truly is amazing to see him riding for Stepchild. Its like a dream come true, not only for me but for the whole company."

It's basically a one lane each way road with enough turns to make you go dizzy, the thing gets closed constantly due to rock slides and bad weather. Our only option was to take the back road, which by the way is not much better and takes an extra hour to get thru. After buying some chains for the rental van tires we headed down the road, it was insane. Nomis So Cal rep and all around awsome guy "Chicken" drove ahead in his 4x4 Jeep Cherokee with bald tires, which made the all wheel drive basically obsolete. Halfway thru the drive Chicken hit some black ice and slid straight into this F350 truck parked on the side of the road. We couldnt stop our van either but Cartwright managed to stay on a snow bank and thus maintain some control. Fast forward about 30-40 minutes later and while driving down a snaky road, this pick up truck coming upwards the opposite direction lost control about 40 ft away from us and skidded right into our path. Cartwright again with some crazy Nascar skills managed to drive around the oncoming sliding truck and avoided a head on collision. Somehow we made it past the snowy roads and back into the dry weather of Ontario, California, no one missed their flights and we didnt get to use the insurance coverage we had on the van. Trip over? not quite, after flying into Seattle to pick up Cartwright's truck and drive to Van we stopped at this Mexican place to eat, I managed to get food poisoning and a few hours later ended up in the hospital with an IV stuck to my arm. Now i'm drinking Gatorade like it was water to get my electrosomethings up again. Good thing I was in canada for that. Now I gotta rest 'cos i got a shoot to do tomorrow with Spy Optic's new shredder... Andre, not bad for an iphone pic... Simon, night sesh...
