I find inspiration from Mountains, there are so many different ways to look at it. They have so much power and how they change their look year after year.
If I could live anywhere it'd be close to the ocean and mountains.
What are your plans for next year? Ride as much as I can. Push myself to the next level.
What do you get out of snowboarding? Everything. Love, hate, laugh, tears, excitement, and disappointment. Everyday you learn something new about the mountains and about yourself and your friends.

Jamie Anderson

Jamie Anderson entered the snow scene and the industry has flapped its lips with praise ever since. The media can't get enough of her unadulterated youthful attitude. Judges are wowed by her unfathomable ability and Billabong loves her kick a$$ way of walking the planet. Fact is, Jamie knows how to win better than anyone in her league.

What Jamie has accomplished at such a young age is just not standard practice. Jamie (at 15 years old) made her first Winter X Games appearance in 2006, bumping Shaun White out of the history books as the youngest medalist in Winter X Games history. In 2007 she won her first women's slopestyle gold medal becoming the youngest female gold medalist. She now has two slopestyle gold medals and she is the reigning 2007/08 TTR Women's Champ, accomplishments that establish her as one of the best female snowboarders in the world.

jenny jones

This down to earth, flamboyant British girl who just loves to snowboard and have a laugh when she's not competing, has to be one of the funniest riders on tour. Asked how she trains for contests, Jenny replies casually that she just rides.

A modest reply considering the six hours a day, six days a week training demanded by young Pro snowboarders who juggle competing, training and studying.

Wolle Nyvelt

What do you get out of snowboarding?
A lot of fun and learning about life, a lot of friends who do the same thing and are stoked with it. Insane adrenaline kicks and a lot of fun again.Highlights: Saturation, and filming for the new movie from Absinthe films called POP, 1st in the Air & Style Jam Session, 5th at the Toyota Big Air History: Wolle is established as one of Europe's best all-round riders. He has had good film parts in Absinth's productions and is scheduled to film next year. Wolle is a strong representative for Billabong in Austria and Europe. His plan next year is to consolidate his coverage in the Absinth 16mm film and to get as much press coverage as possible. Wolle is also involved with the Aesthetiker crew, as is Billabong.
