Advertisement from 25th anniversary issue of surfer magazine

It never seemed like a big deal to have my photo used by Flite Snowboards in the advertisement they placed in the 25th anniversary issue of Surfer Magazine. In retrospect, snowboarding was in its infancy and everything was new. Unknown to most, that year I was riding my own Hibak design had it disguised. I was the first rider at the Sims World Championships with a Plastic Highback, you can see footage of me riding in the Halfpipe/Powder. It was a huge snow year, most I had ever seen. Now I find that we are approaching the 30th anniversary of the Highback Binding. At least I've made my share of turns out there and really looking forward to this coming season. JG
