Take it away Donna! The 50th celebration rolls on! And thanks to Burton, we are getting what looks like a new series documenting the 50 years with notable narrators and a look into the characters, action, and hard work that made it all possible. Watch the first episode above and keep an eye out for the next decade drop coming soon!
From Burton:
Episode 1 of 50 Years of Snowboarding goes back to the earliest days of Burton and a time when snowboarding is still a fringe obsession, mountains don’t want us, and a small community is determined to change that. Called a fad and “winter’s worst new sport,” snowboarding is banned from resorts as Jake Burton Carpenter builds boards in a Vermont barn, sells them out of his car, and fights for the right to ride the mountain.
What starts with a handful of riders begins to grow into something much bigger. Sideways Revolution (1977–1987) is the first chapter of 50 Years of Snowboarding, a five-part documentary series exploring the riders, innovations, and moments that shape snowboarding from its earliest days to what comes next.
