History
Snowboard history matters. This page is an incomplete collection of videos and links that we think are important to our collective history. Much of it deals with the time when the Olympics, energy drinks and athletic companies weren’t involved in capitalizing on the marketability of snowboarding. And it’s evolving. As we find time, we’ll add content. If you have a video or link that you think is important to snowboarding’s history, send it in to ridercouncil@romesnowboards.com.
For many people, the most influential snowboard movie of all time. No other movie has a camp-out session with the likes of Terje, Lynn, Iguchi and a young Jeffy. (1994)
