Watching this guy in the 90's snowboarding in different snowboard videos, I really liked his unique style..
I like this clip, his story is inspiring and beautiful
Still got my 2000 Burton Rippey 158.5 and love it - no other board comes close.
Just recently got heavily into snowboarding, when you learn something new everytime it feels great. Interesting dude, interesting story
hey there! Welcome to the fun sport of snowboarding! Are you close to some good places to ride? We've got friends who ride all over the US and different parts of the world.
I know him and his wife as well. great family, great dude...
Do you happen to know how our ministry could contact him?
I rode his pro mode. Met him in the mid ‘90s at Unvailed practice. He was super nice, waiting for a while for my friend to show up so we could all. E I. The picture together
God bless you Jim
Jesus rules awesome
Cool story. I first saw you in a TB4 video called "Run To The Hills" at my friends house when I was 16. Do you still ride ? What do you think of modern snowboard culture? I don't think shredding and God are mutually exclusive, do you ?
Hero
Why so many dislikes?
Because he's a Jesus freak...
So what!???
If you believe, you believe. God moves in odd ways, mostly because, we do not understand who He is. Wars get fought over our petty definition of Him. Yet, we have yet to find a good witness who says he/she has seen Him, and brought back a photo. That's the definition of FAITH. Usually, you have to Believe to accept.
haters gonna hate man...
@@ericbrammer2245 Why do god freaks ise this terrible excuse.
If god kills millions of people through disease "well, god works in mysterious ways"
Fuck that god.
Bro was like mega party animal, he never once said Jesus did this for him when he was making $$$$$.....$£¥€!
You're right. Spending time with Jim he reflected on the times he was making a lot of $ and still felt empty inside even with the girls and partying.
"never sent an Angel t your room";; Really?! Nah, you got SO LUCKY, good money, good health, and some Fame, all stuff SATAN uses all the time to convert souls... God blessed you, perhaps more than you know, or, even, maybe, deserve [not My call!]. You had better understand Psalms 21, and walk humbly, and with, God. Your fortunate ways are His gift to you.
Meanwhile, I'll just kinda sit out this whole JOB thing that's been tweaking me this last 14 years, and hope my kids are still alive after that...
Your Angel was with you, dude. And it sucks when they leave..
Hey Eric, keep an open heart to the Lord. If you have questions man let us know. We're not here to judge anyone but love to help you connect if you have questions.
Thanks Jim.. When I say 'you were lucky', I am not kidding. I put in 30+ years into the exact sport that made YOU famous, while getting bilked by a prominent NE Resort, when I helped design the Park/Pipe/snowmaking for them, 26 yrs. ago. I spent many years watching the Green Mt. Series riders blossom as a 1/2 pipe Judge. I used to race, early on, like when Fins, not edges, were the thing you sharpened on your board... Since about a year before my parents died, things have progressively gotten worse. EVERYTHING, and almost EVERYONE I deeply cared about has been hurt, destroyed, taken away from my life, or been used in extortion against me, and, my physical and, perhaps, mental health, have suffered accordingly. There's ONE example, in the Bible, that explains this happenstance. JOB. I am NOT him, yet, the curse persists. I won't go 'into it', but, an example would be, from my life (so far; it continues, yet,still.) having a garbage truck dive into your 400 Yd.-long driveway, creating a chasm that's $13k to repair, or, having your 'employee friendly' company deny you the time (on bereavement) to bury your parents, or, having your wife profess that 'God Is King' to the point that she won't "divorce" you, but, rather use Vermont's "separation' rules to do the same thing to you, whereupon, you get to keep a Goat, and, hey, a whole 1/2 Chord of wood for the winter; And then LIE to you, and the Courts, about just "why" she's hightailing it to Alabama, with the kids you waited 12 years to have (her timetable, NOT MINE;I was already 'old enough', thank-you!). IT HASN'T STOPPED! BAD THINGS CONTINUE TO OCCUR. NO BREAK, JUST WORSE HITS.
So, I got it... I have been bet against, by...
Well, Satan, nor the other bettor, will win. They BOTH lie.
Hey Eric, my name is Kevin. I produce the stories with Jim and all the other athletes. But mostly, care about people that watch them. That's why I make them and give them away for online. I'll pass your message on to Jim though if you life? Thanks for sharing your story. Hard to find words honestly but I'm sorry for your pain, loss of your wife and kids and all the other junk that's gone wrong in your life. Bro, sounds like you were or maybe still are a sick boarder! Where do you live these days? Sounds like your story is similar to Job, you're right....Have you seen Andy Finch's story that we made? He suffered by almost losing his father. Anyway, just thought I'd suggest that one to you as well. Don't give up bro. If you could have a little faith left in you, that there's a God and he truly cares for you, then let me know. I know it could be a long journey, but uncovering the story of God is worth the time to really look into.
