When I got into snowboarding I was inspired and stoked on VHS tapes filled with AK lines by guys like Salasnek and Farmer. It has always been a dream for me to head to AK, and over the years the direction that snowboarding has taken me has melted away with the high concentration of contests and jibbing keeping me grounded. Brian Hockenstein's (filmer/writer/photog) trip to Tailagate Alaska has been an eye opener and a great motivation to get me there. I may not make it there this year but know I will shortly, especially with legendary events like King of the Hill back in the works. Read the article, watch the videos and you'll know what I am talking about.
