OMS Snowboarders are dedicated and passionate about the Sport, so therefore Jerry and I have put it upon our athletes to know a little bit more about the history of snowboarding and on the old school shredders who paved the way. We have picked one OG snowboarder and have asked each OMS snowboarder to do some research and gain a little more historical knowledge on the legends of snowboarding. First up in the second round of the Know Your History research comes Peter Line, written OMS Snowboarder Austin Hawkes.
Peter line was a rad dude and sweet style. Peter line started snowboarding in 1985. He started by strapping into a Burton 140 elite with a swallow tail and fin on the base at his home mountain Summit-at-Snoqualmie, WA. Five years later he was being offered a pro model on Division 23. He rode with them for a couple of years. Peter Line was soon was asked to shred for Forum Snowboards. He took it and loved it and was a part of the infamous Forum 8. He still is riding for Forum this day and has a team manager role as well. Peter was the man for doing switch tricks and corks and also rodeos. He impressed so many people. His major sponsors are Forum snowboard and Foursquare. His pro career started in 1993 and still rides pro on forum. Since Peter made such a huge name for himself in snowboarding he got to be an X Games commentator. Peter was also one of the beginning riders on Forum. Peter was huge in snowboarding and is such a rad dude.
I can definitely relate myself to Peter line. First of all he rode for Forum and was a pro rider and Forum is the team I would love to ride pro for some day. Also Peter did his own thing. I feel that that’s how I want to do things in snowboarding. Such as riding what I want to ride and being creative and unique. Peter is just an awesome dude with rad style. I just look up to people like him and respect everything they do.
