John Jackson

John Jackson has been at the top of the game for almost 2 decades. There’s only a few that have pushed snowboarding like john j in my opinion, Travis Rice and a handful of others. I watched every one of his parts and damn, what a strong, confident, good trick picking legend. From what I would say was his break out part in White Balance (2003) to many more years along side Standard Films (that heli shot Front 7 melon off the toes in Paradox), to his iconic parts with Forum Snowboarding, being included for Travis’s smash hit That’s It That’s All, and I should highlight his F’ it two song ender part plus having a full part in the iconic movie - Art of Flight (his back 10 double and massive line to crail air), having potentially one of the strongest seasons in snowboard history weighting in at around 10 minutes of A+ footage that year, transitioning over to Burton Snowboards then blowing his knees back to back seasons, filming his own web series/ tv series like brothers on the run with his bro Ejack, the book of John j, air time, etc., john has had one of the longest careers out and he’s still going strong and as he mentions on the show “I love it more than ever”, he’s happy to have found a home with Sims Snowboards and is currently filming with the Pirate Crew , keep posted for that 2 year project. He’s won it all, rider of the year, video part of the year, xgames medals, jumper of the year, covers; the photo from Scott Serfas/ TWsnow air in Alaska was a stand out to me. Scott was actually side slipping down the mountain and was lucky to have captured that frame/ cover. I can confidently say every single backcountry rider has drawn a lot of inspiration from John Js riding over the years.
