Boone Howard Awkward Snowboard Picture Series- Photo 4
Submitted by boone23howard on Sun, 03/22/2009 - 5:45pm.
By the time he reached his junior year in high school, Boone was really starting to "get" snowboarding. Hours of watching the X-Games taught him a few things about what's "hip" on a shred stick: namely, wearing all gray and inventing beautiful grabs like this one. Wait, scratch that... he never had a TV.

Taken on one of his first days riding, eighth-grade Boone attempts a 180 (though the photo was originally labeled as "Frontside Shifty" because that's probably about where the rotation stopped). Check out the plastic board, x-country ski boots, and dainty hand movement.

Boone finally packed it all up and moved from small-town Alaska to Portland, exchanging his tiny gravel-pit jumps for the shred-zone hot spot of Mt. Hood... only to do backside 180s off jumps made mostly of logs. At least he has the presence of mind to make direct eye contact mid-trick. Forget afterbang, it's all about during-bang. Dang!

This is a trick that 10th grade Boone would call a "tweaked air" or "corked straight air." Good thing there's no powpow on the landing, cuz the toe/heel drag on those size thirteens is gnar!

The progression continues! Boone tries (and fails) the double tindy. In the background, then-girlfriend Noelle thinks "I wish he'd grab me like that..."

Fourteen year old Boone loved to jump over sleds. He would ride for hours on this tiny hill, jumping off tiny bumps and hiking back up to the top while listening to Sum 41. Here's a shot of his most stylish trick, the attempted nosegrab. Soon after this shot was taken, he almost learned how to turn.
