Northwest Talent: Matt Guess

By: Lindsay Fraka


Born in PA and raised by a pack of wolves (still fact checking that one); Matt Guess now calls the Northwest his home, more specifically Oregon. Whether it's park, pipe, pow, or urban, Matt throws down in every aspect of riding with style. Versatility is always a plus in the book of snowboarding (trust us, there's a book) and it tends to provide many more shred opportunities and room for creativity.

More than likely, his name might not ring any bells but those are the ones you have to watch out for. This guy is a natural shredder and a few companies have taken notice.

Just to name a few: Auviq, Signal Snowboards, Exit Real World, Skullcandy Headphones, Oakley Goggles & Outerwear, Timberline Resort, Premonition Films, Irie tribe, Rockstar Energy Drink, One ball jay, Flux Bindings, Celtek gloves, and Ds Imagery.

Needless to say, this kid is on the come up. Check this edit from AUVIQ and find out what all the hype is about:

Josh Dueck becomes first paraplegic skier to complete a back flip

The skier fulfilled a dream he'd be thinking of for over eight years.

Josh Dueck's life changed dramatically in 2004, when he became paralyzed from the waist down in a skiing accident. But he not only kept the "freedom" he enjoys on the slopes, aboard a sit-ski, he excelled in competitions and pioneered backcountry skiing on the device. This past week he achieved another remarkable milestone: performing the first documented back flip in the snow on a sit-ski (fast-forward to the 2-minute mark to see the trick).
