EOW Snowboard Team
Bodhi Murphy
My name is Bodhi Kai Murphy and I have been riding sideways on all types of boards since I was three years old, I am currently twenty-seven. Life is a dream of many sorts, but this dream becomes most apparent when I ride. The mountains are my meditation, and snowboarding is what takes me there. I feel a deep and abiding rhythm in my heart that makes me bliss-out when I ride, and this is what I live for. Snowboarding will remain in my life as long as I am always able to remember why I got into this thing in the first place...to have FUN with my friends and family, and to set and realize goals for myself through the discipline of mind, body, and spirit. Nothing invigorates me more than hanging out in the backcountry with good friends while sessioning a giant booter. When I ride, I am away from my thoughts, away from my worries, and inside of pure being, pure actuality, and pure energy. I feel free, and I feel like me. I consider each and every opportunity to ride, a true blessing. This might sound corny, but I don’t give a f--k what anybody else thinks, and that’s how I keep it real on my snowboard.

For me snowboarding is all about getting out and having fun. Doesn't matter if I'm riding by myself or with my best friends, as long as I can get a few slashes here and there I'm set. I couldn't think of a better way to put all my obligations and deadlines on the back burner and just enjoy life. Any chance I get to travel and shred I can never pass up. Road trips with friends and visiting new places are high on my list of favorite things to do in the winter. Methods, cheeknutz, and no grab frontside 180s with your knees tucked up into your armpits are on that list also, but without a doubt, #1 and the most fun of them all is slashing pow. I guess I just like to have fun and get away from all the other things going on in the world. It's like a mini vacation every time I go out. I probably go on vacation about four times of the week... Bet you can't say that about your job.

I love sliding around sillywilly on fluffiness (hopefully) while chillin in the woods and spending time with friends. Ah, difficult it is to think of something more fun. Ascend the negative world and leave it behind, escape, we've got a shred to catch! Risking cliche, I have to reiterate just how fun snowboarding is, no matter if it's on your neighborhood playground, local hill, or helicopter drop-in (ok, you're right, that sounds more scary, but you get my point). Snowboarding is about playing with your environment in a positive way that transcends bullshit and everything else--it's fun! Snow is such a surreal medium, what better canvas for the art of life?

Hi- names ole Andrew, as I write this my heart begins to pump, blood surging through my veins, heightening my senses and exaggerating my awareness. EXCITEMENT the cacophony of bindings fusing together voices discussing, seriously but full of merriment. Snowboarding is life. The life i luckily lead, and willingly accepted as a career, an adventure, a school, an enlightenment program. Taking flat runs, working your butt off and creating a center of wicked jibnastiness, jumps rails bonks and whathaveyou. Cliffs, park, groomer, all sooo fun!! To be able to have the freedom..... and control to whip between tightly packed forested playgrounds, always looking for the fresh untouched patch all your own to leave decimated, but somehow better. And even better, cause the next time it will be just as fresh, even deeper, steeper. To shut of your brain from all worries and enjoy nature to its fullest, forging friendships as deep as a three day storm, thru sunshine jib sessions to dark inch an hour howling windy blizzards..OH steep places!!!!!! To summarize, without the creation of the shredstick, i feel that i would not have so many killer memories, friends, energy, or even near the same life. THANK YOU SNOWBOARDING I LOVE YOU IF YOU LOVE SNOW VISIT THE PARK AT LOST TRAIL

Straight up pest from the mid west. Talk about crazy Chicago style, this guy will slay any rail. He's not afraid to get broken off, and believe me, I've seen him get broken. Super big pokes over redbull cats, pretzels carney style, and plenty of backsides on/backsides off.

Snowboarding for me isn't about the X-games and energy drinks, no for me it is more about having fun and being able to let go. When i strap in to my board it is like stepping into another dimension where nothing matters but having fun with my friends and playing in the snow. There is no other way that i would rather spend my time than on my board, from slashing lines in powder, to boosting off kickers in the park, even to jib sessions in the back yard, if i am on my board i am happy. Even if it is one of those days where i couldn't land a trick if my life depended on it, i am still having fun because i am doing what i love. When i ride i connect with mother nature, I like to adapt to it and let it control my style. I become one with the board and just let my body run free. I love snowboarding and i always will. I will shred till I die!!!

From an all girls prep school in California I dropped into Bozeman, MT, just before the best snow season of a lifetime. You wouldn't believe what that did for me. Suddenly I found a passion. Suddenly I went from tights and leotards, plies and arabesques, to tight tree lines and cliff drops. Trust me when I say that one is more exciting then the other. What do ballet and snowboarding have in common? I only dance and ride for myself. No one else. Snowboarding is about being creative and pushing my own buttons. How high, how fast, how many times, can I before my heart pumps so fast it jumps out? In the best of best days snowboarding, my legs are noodly at the end, I have learned a little something about anything, and I have laughed a lot.

The EOW snow team is in a class by itself with 6 of the steeziest shred-gnaring kids on the planet. I am extremely lucky to have such a rad snow team. Each and every one of them is very approachable and always down for one thing, shredding. If you see one of them out on the hill, don't hesitate to talk to them and slash some pow together. And I'm out!
