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!

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.

Beyond Boarding Edit

Beyond Boarding (http://beyondboarding.org/) is an amazing nonprofit organization of snowboarders who are passionate about giving back to the community. I'm stoked to get involved with them. One of my good friends Tamo Campos started it a while back as a way to use his creative and athletic talents in snowboarding to make a difference in the world. My roomate Sam Weston has been helping out since the summer and he's recently got myself and Kyle involved. Check out the 3 of us riding Grouse Mountain in Beyond Boarding's latest edit below. Thank you Andrew Santos for filming us and slicing the edit together!
