This contest has ended.

Established in 1989, Bonfire has been making snowboard outerwear almost as long as we’ve been making magazines. One of their mottos is “We believe there is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.” You could venture to say that this mentality is directly influenced by the climate of their locale: Portland, OR, where being outdoors often leads to needing a hot beverage.

Bonfire team rider Louif Paradis recently sat down with SNOWBOARDER for “Street Smarts: A Classroom Session with Three of The New School’s Prize Pupils” in which he, Scott Stevens and Keegan Valaika spoke freely on topics ranging from new tricks to memorizing video parts.

Obviously, you read it already (the sequence of Louif’s tail grab gap to back lip is so sick!!). Now go back and read it again. In the “Under the Influence” section, what video does Louif credit as a major influence to him when he was coming up? Name the correct video below in the comments section (tell us your favorite part for bonus points). We’ll pick a correct commenter at random.


*Make sure you enter your correct email address so we can contact you if you win.

    _Louis-Felix:Decade was the first movie i would watch over and over. I would see the obstacles they were riding and would think “Hey, there’s the same thing right there in my park. I’m going to go ride it and try to do the same thing as those guys.”
    Decade was big for him.
    I liked Bon Voyage the most, he was throwing out the most technical smooth tricks imaginable on the biggest features.
    Thanks snowboarder!

    Jason Brown was my favorite rider in this video. He didn’t have a full part from what I remember, but he was so rad.

  • Burr Burr

  • kyle

    decade and m favorite part was nick dirks in these days

  • Smerald

    Decade, by Mack Dawg. Jeremy Jones burning that rail, actually lighting it on fire along with his head during a night sesh was off the wall crazy.

  • Dave Miller

    Decade. Fav part: jp or jeremy’s both are pretty rad

  • Ben Rupp

    Decade. Anything in the Think Thank movies…love them. But if I have to choose I’d say Scott Stevens part in Left Brain Right Brain… or any of the Jake Blauvelt parts in any of the Forum movies he was in…sick.

  • omar dean

    DECADE!!!!!

    jeremy jones and the illest burning rail!!!

  • Mike

    Decade

  • josh w

    Decade inspored louif.
    And his part in SugarShack’s Bandwagon was one of my favorites. Such proper and ahead of his time tricks so long ago. He’s been killing it under the radar for so long!

  • Conrad G.

    “Decade” by Mack Dawg.

    Favorite person in the video is Bjorn Leines because he does the best tricks, I swear he’s crazy. Anyone can do what Jeremy Jones did while grinding a rail, looks cool but way to far on the easy side.

  • mike b

  • Tim D.

    “Decade” had an impact on his riding an also mine since I’m old school. Both that movie and Technical Difficulties entered my VCR so many times that the tracking was messed up… Remember how crappy VHS was?!? I do…
