As a pro snowboarder Chris locked down amazing video parts with  Kingpin Productions, F.O.D.T and Absinthe Films.  His early parts showcased him ripping urban terrain and large jumps but once Absinthe helped get him to new terrain in places like Haines his eye's were opened to a whole new type of riding and once he rode these huge mountains there was no turning back.  His love for the back country eclipsed his pro career as he...

As luck would have it I forgot to press record on the Rode caster pro unit for the first hour of recording.  So no audio was recorded except for what the camera's picked up.  When you re record after something like this happens the conversation goes a different direction and will be nothing like what we have here.  So if you feel like it check out the hour that ended up on the cutting room floor!
