Ride Snowboards

I did two 8-board series in the summer of 2004, which was enough for a down payment on a house in Portland. I owe Ride Snowboards a debt of gratitude. One of the very first projects that paid an incredible rate, and I’m forever thankful.

I remember taking little Gary (my mini dachshund) up to Seattle, onto the ferry and over to Vashon Island to work for a couple days at Ride. They had this gigantic, cave-like room where they all worked. Little Gary barked the WHOLE ROOM up. And of course, on a particularly stressful day for Mave. He gave me a look that said "Get that hound out of here.” We got our assignments from Styk and Fank and we skedaddled to the ferry back to Seattle! Sorry, buddy. He was a horrible dog.
