    Yes! This is exactly what competition snowboarding has needed! Ive been tired of the lack of inspired style in competition snowboarding where creative expression is reduced in preference for execution of a narrow set of athletically disciplined tricks. My interest in and respect for snowboarding has always been about expression of creative inspiration, first and foremost. Good to see that given the stage here and, WOW, this guy's creative style is unbelievable! Awesome! Great behind-the-scenes narrative here, too. Cant wait to see more from Zeb!

    It's how this sport was birthed back in our days. All gas no brakes. Riding Snoqualmie to Baker finding anything to turn into a jump only to huck yourself as hard as you could. Getting kicked off other local mountains when nobody even knew what Snowboarding was. This kid embodies the soul of snowboarding. Doing things on the fly not for points but because he loves it. It warms my heart to see someone like this strapped in. Much respect.
