Jake Blauvelt is a Vermont native who currently calls Bellingham, Wash., home and shreds Mt. Baker. He made his first major global statement by winning the U.S Open Slopestyle event in 2004 but since has dedicated himself to mastering the craft in natural terrain conditions. This season he’s filming with Absinthe and has a role in a new TV series that will air in North America, Australia, South America, Europe and Japan. In February 2010, Blauvelt signed a three-year contract with Ride Snowboards.
“I am so stoked to finally be able to announce Ride Snowboards as my new board and binding sponsor. It feels so good to be in a position to have the freedom to fully take control of my career. Ride shares my vision and they’re 100% supportive of all my plans. This partnership makes complete sense: The boards are amazing and with their offices just down the road in Seattle, I will be working closely with Ride’s R&D team on some new signature board models… This is like a dream come true!”
Blauvelt rounds out Ride’s deep squadron of international pro riders, including: Seb Toutant (signed this season), Mikey LeBlanc, Hana Beaman, Juuso Laivisto, Marco Feichtner, Darrell Mathes, Nico Droz, Akifumi Hiraoka, Hiromi Takahashi, and Takashi Nishida. For the remainder of the 2009-10 season, he’ll be shredding on the new Ride Highlife snowboard and Double Agent bindings.
