Introduction

Hello and welcome to my blog! My name is Andrew Matthews and I'm a snowboarder athlete from Yellowknife, NWT. I decided to start this blog to keep my friends, family, fans and sponsors up to date about my life as a full time snowboarder. I will be posting about my travels, competitions, training and random awesome things that I come across. Enjoy the journey!

Slideshow

Hey hey!

Here's a slideshow I put together from a wicked season in 2012/13. I saw this band, the Strumbellas in Whistler and they were awesome. They're going to be big! Enjoy!

White Wash on Snowboarder Mag

Hey hey,

My buddy Aaron Santos (check him out http://aarondevours.wordpress.com/) put together a nice teaser for his upcoming video. So nice, in fact, that it got on Snowboarder Magazine's website (http://www.snowboardermag.com/videos/white-wash-teaser/) It's kind of a big deal to get some coverage on their website. It's my first time as well as Sam, Jesse, Kyle and Aaron's. We're (almost) famous! Thanks Aaron!
Here's the edit: I cannot wait for the full movie to drop.

Spring Riding

We had a great time riding this spring! The slushier snow enticed us to try some new tricks. When the conditions are right sometime you've got to go for it. One day Kyle and I were both trying double cork 1080s. Kyle came super close whereas mine needs some work. But anything can happen... Here's the latest video from my friend's Kyle, Sam, Aaron, Dylan and I this spring on Blackcomb.
