Jim Rippey had the best selling pro model in the world for seven years during my favourite era, the early 90’s. As a top Burton pro he filmed with Standard and Mack Dawg and his parts were highly anticipated. He is a World Champion, a US Open Champion, a three time Vans Triple Crown Champion, an Innsbruck Air & Style Champion and has won countless other titles. He’s the first guy to backflip a snowmobile on film. As his career was winding down, he became a chaplain at the X games. Jim Rippey is one of those pro snowboarders that fell off the map and left everyone wondering where did he wind up!? So In this conversation we catch up with Jim and go deep into his snowboarding roots.
