Snowboarder Profile: Peter Line

More than ten years ago, when I made my first ever Website, it was designed to pay homage to Peter Line. At that time the Mack Dawg video Decade just got out. He was my second favorite snowboarder after Canadian sensation Kevin Young.

Peter Line has been one of the most influential figures of Freestyle Snowboarding in the 1990's and early 2000's. His video parts were sicker and more progressive than any other rider around. He is also widely recognized for having founded Forum Snowboards, Foursquare Outerwear, and Special Blend that he later sold to Burton Snowboards.

With Forum, Peter wanted to get the best team of snowboarders together. Well, he did with his famous Forum 8 that consisted of J.P. Walker, Jeremy Jones, Bjorn Leines, Chris Dufficy, Joni Malmi, Wille Yli-Luoma, and Devun Walsh.

After almost a four year break, Line got back into filming video parts in 2008 for the Forum video Forum or Against 'em. He still has his pro-model at Forum and has a column in Snowboarder Magazine.

I suggest to anyone who is not acquainted to his style to watch clips of his parts on YouTube.

It was all a white fresh canvas for the young riders that moulded the sport that everyone refers to as the Shaun White sport. Way before the young “Flying Tomato” even stand on a board legends of the sport were defining and experiencing tricks, jumps, transitions, etc.

The Evolution of Soundtracks in Snowboard Movies

And then there was sound. When you are watching a video part what’s sticking the most? The rider for sure! But what makes a good video part and what makes a great video part? First, you must have the right editor to mix and balance the amount of tricks and the different terrain. When this is done, even if it’s one of the most important jobs, the music must be choose. Sometimes, it’s the rider that ask for a particular song from an artist he/she likes or a genre he/she listens. Other times, the editor will suggest a kind of music that fits with the particular rider personality and/or style. However, I will always remember the part of Peter Line in The Resistance with the Ween song or JP Walker’s closing segment with the marvellous Redman/Method Man tune. Music is a big part of our lives and it is omnipresent in everything we do. Sometimes it defines who you are and your values or a particular time in your life. The snowboard movie soundtracks have become almost as important as
