Sam is a technician, a wizard and an athlete all wrapped into a snowboarding enthusiast. Sam has some serious control over a snowboard and it can be seen in his consistency at any contest where top ten finishes seem to be fairly commonplace for Sam. Currently in his rookie season with the Ride team he has brought a top 5 overall Dew Tour placing behind the likes of Shawn White, Torstein Horgmo, Mikkel Bang, and Andreas Wiig. Rubbing shoulders with the worlds best and a season remaining to contribute towards Think Thank productions 09 video "Cool Story", we're proud to have Sam on board. He has both the technical talent and a creative style, that when used together makes for one hell of a good shredder, not to mention he's one hell of a good dude.
