We at POW are honored to announce the addition of the hard-charging & already legendary snowboarder, John Jackson (AKA John J), to our team of global riders. John J’s partnership with POW will extend far beyond sticker placement on his snowboard; we plan to incorporate Jackson into glove development and additional rider-driven marketing efforts.
Scattered across the wind worn plains a group of free spirited snowboard life enthusiasts search for magical moments and the future of fun. Armed with snowboards, shovels, 2 white vans, various propulsion devices, cones, cans and combat like bond of friendship the Think Thank crew scours the globe leaving no park un-jibbed, no rope un-towed, no booter un-flipped and no pow un-slashed. Through extensive field research this crack team of snowboard bosses gets down to the grass roots of what makes snowboarding tick. So flip the Tarot cards, steep the tea, consult the star charts and chart the star’s homes because the end is only the beginning when the Think Thank Snowboarding Almanac uses it's "Methods of Prediction"!
