If Chris Bradshaw and Frank April had a child together, would he have a French Canadian accent? At what age would he start smoking cigs? What about weed? Would he spend his time in the streets or mostly lapping Bear? We’re not certain the aforementioned fathered Ian Sams, but he’s loose like Bradshaw and clean like Frank, which makes him an entertaining dude to watch on a snowboard.

Ian Sams hales from Big Bear Lake, California where he can often be found riding one of the most insane terrain parks in the world, Bear Mountain. With a home mountain that litters their runs with dozens and dozens of handrails, you could only expect Sams to have the jib scene on lock. When he’s not at Bear, he’s taking that proper, smooth style and well practiced bag of tricks to the streets. Sometimes, just being in the right place at the right time can make it all come together and heading out to the East Coast, Minnesota, and across the pond to Japan during the winter of 2014/15 was on-point to pull together and drop this solid part. Here’s one for the Big Bear homies and all of you from Ian Sams.
