Prologue

JP Walker is a 31-year old world famous snowboarding legend. Of course, it is hard not to become a pro-rider if you were born in such a place like Salt Lake City, Utah. But JP is certainly more than just a pro. He took modern snowboarding to an entirely different level. He has been around in snowboarding industry for over fifteen years, and every year he exceeds even the highest expectations. In the past decade there has not been a single rider who could outdo Mr. Walker in rail sliding or backcountry snowboarding.

That man is dedicated as nobody else – he destroys on average twenty five boards (of his own design and modification, of course) a year and has a mini snow park with a half-pipe in the backyard of his house. Every single company is dying to get him on their team. Until recently Mr. Walker was riding for the team FORUM, but after some disagreements with the rest of the management he left.

It's turning into a different company. Everyone that has made it what it is today has been fired or left for something else. I think Burton is taking it over and changing the setup. I’m not really down with the new thought process over there

– said JP in his interview for Snowboardermag. Right now JP Walker is officially riding for StepChild Snowboards.
