Gray Thompson | Hot Boy'n | Banked Slaloms | United Shapes | Warp Wave | Fly Fishing |

“It kinda rubbed me the wrong way… When it came down to competing it was super serious - gave me butterflies. That’s no the feeling when you’re snowboarding otherwise.” 

 

“I think the trend towards jam sessions is the best thing in competitive snowboarding right now.” 

 

“You could be having an ok day and then go rip around with five of your best friends and then it’s the best day of the year.”

 

“We just take turns following each other as close as we can….”

 

“My weekend was like mini vacation where I didn’t have to leave my home.” 

 

“We all came together Lets just go out on a limb and start a board company. We have all these ideas, lets create an outlet for them.”  

 

“We want this cool relationship with the consumer and the brand.. I feel like I could call up anyone who buys a board from us and be like, lets go ride.” 

 

“We’re going to be realizing a few more shapes this fall. Each sale only comes in one size.”

 

“It’s a brand for snowboarders who love the mountain and love the feeling of snowboarding. It’s a brand for the person that wakes up at five in the morning on a pow day….” 

 

“If you took the park away and just looked at the mountain, you would visualize a park.” 

 

 

“Work is life and life is work and you gotta lean to enjoy it all.” 

 

“Every week we get together and have knitting club…We get together and tie flies and talk about the river.” 

 

“When the river’s low you gotta back off and go skateboarding, don’t put too much pressure on them (the fish).” 

 

“I go to Vimeo and watch hundreds of movies to get inspiration outside of skateboarding.” 

 

 

“When you get to the mountain and you’re feeling a little risky. You wanna get close and uncomfortable - then you go hot boy’n for the day.”

Quotes:

“I have a lot of friends who are my age or maybe a little bit older who don’t really know anything about investing.”

“The more money you have the more money you can make.”

“It seems like my generation is much less in tune with how money or wealth is accumulated.” 

“I think it’s important for younger people to think about how they got to where they are….The ability to be able to go ride every weekend, have a pass, that stuff costs so much money.” 

“You think, money, it’s just money, it doesn't make me happy, snowboarding makes me happy……And then you have ACL surgery and you realize that it costs a hundred grand to fix a knee.”

“Guys like Warren Buffet have made billions of dollars basically by dumbing it down.”

“The smartest guys in the room are the guys that can see through all of that noise and see an opportunity.”

“At the end of the day what matters is that your ATM still spews the money out.”

“As far as trading is concerned, by the time the book comes out, the strategy is blown.”

“My dad used to say - it’s not rocket science, keep it simple…But it’s the stock market - it’s not simple…”

“A lot of it is trial and error, it’s really tough to make money in the stock market - in investing.”

“I went to school for sound technology, recording arts - recording and mixing records.”

“After the fact you go in you arrange, set levels and add different types of processing to create a picture with a song.” 

“Back when vinyl was the medium… It was so much about creating a visual picture…. you could see the band.”

“I think that listeners don't really understand that engineers are as much an artist as the actual musicians that play the instrument.”

“You can create this movement - this movie - with the sound. It’s very artistic, it’s cool.”
