Jackson, Wyoming’s favorite son has come a long way was since first strapping in on the steep mountain slopes of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort. Any rider with as many accolades, medals, and game changing video parts under their belt as Travis has could easily out themselves on top, a la Seinfeld—but that’s just not Travis’ style. He continues to fight the good fight, and progress snowboarding in its entirety. Whether it be continually raising the bar with mind blowing “first ever” tricks; experimenting with new board technology; producing and starring in mega-budget snowboarding films; or pioneering next-level contests like the Quiksilver Natural Selection, Travis settles for nothing short of exceptional. And this year being no exception Travis has been on quite the tear, putting down a slew of mind blowing first ever tricks for his latest endeavor, That’s It That’s All. Among them, massive switch frontside double cork 10’s into powder. Travis’ rule of thumb? “If you can throw a snowball over it, you can jump it.”
