I like this video... a lot. Not just because Trevor is a friend of mine, or I'm a big fan of the director Sebastien Zanella's photography, or that it was shot well. But because Trevor Andrew brought up some things about snowboarding that I think are getting lost a bit in the "sport" these days. These two lines stuck out to me, "The general public many not understand yet that snowboarding, skateboarding, and surfing is a culture, it's not just a sport" and "In order to be a snowboarder, skateboarder, or surfer... you have to have some kind of artistic vision, because there's no rules... there's no THIS IS THE WAY YOU DO IT." It was really refreshing to hear that come out of someone's mouth. It seems that people on the outside who don't really understand the culture side of it try to create these events with so many rules and regulations in order to make snowboarding make more sense... to them at least, and the reason why most of us started snowboarding in the first place gets lost in that mix. Before I go off on a tangent I will just leave it at that. But besides that this video does give you a pretty cool look at Trevor in general, so you should watch it. -Laura Austin (Online Editor Of SNOWBOARDER Magazine)

@ Ironic: fuck off kook. you've got someone like trevor who is trying to step outside the box and do something with his life after snowboarding, and kooks like you have nothing better to say than some lame ass negative bullshit. who gives a fuck if he wears his own band's shirts and tags his crew's name? why wouldn't you hype up the movement you are putting so much effort and time into? and this whole signature line shit you were bitching about. what the fuck are you even talking about? jamie lynn still has signature shit but isn't boarding 24/7. should his shit be questioned? fuck no. these dudes are snowboarders, just like you. quit hating like a little bitch and support dudes like yourself. why the fuck would you hate on fellow riders? negative little bitches like you drive me fucking nuts. doing nothing but talking shit and being a sour little pussy. grow the fuck up and quit hating just to hate....

...stop writing "Trouble Gang" and wearing your own bands tshirt. How come there was no snowboarding in this? I understand the concept of there being more to life than snowboarding, but if you have a pro-model Sunglass, goggle, snowboard, and outerwear line, shouldn't you be able to hang with the dogs?
