so sick - JP is one of the few riders who would put down an entire switch segment and STILL have it be as sick as if he was going forward.

God damn that was baller. I don't like JP but his segment was ridiculous. I'm glad he was bringing the switch game to a whole new level.

Your kidding right? Name one other guy that could do all the tricks he did switch. JP has been around a long time and is still pushing the sport. As a person I hate him but as a snowboarder he's really progressing the sport as a whole.

here's an interview from expn.com where he talks about why he did it and how hard it was to do

its a much cooler idea than the result. i'm sure for him it was a lot of fun and good challenge to film switch all season. however, the part isn't mindblowing or anything. a few of the tricks are crazy. but otherwise he did his standard switch stuff. actually, one of the cooler shots of the whole video was him doing a regular ollie front three over a railing to drop at the beginning of risto roukala and e-man's part. also, don't forget chris englesman, he had a major snowboarder mag interview entirely switch 6 or so years ago. and travis parker was known to set his board up regular, even though he rides goofy.

summary: killer concept? yes. a first? yes. innovative? meh. groundbreaking? kinda. good but not great like the rest of the movie? yes

Too bad JP Walker is a fucking tool.  No matter how talented he is, he's still a D bag.

It was pretty good, but I didn't think it was all that amazing. And I can't tell if a boarder is riding switch or regular anyways.

Why does everyone think he is an asshole?  Is there something specific he has said or done?

That part does not do much for me.  No big mountain shots.  I get board of urban things very quickly.  I would rather watch skiers or boarders on the Bec De Ross.

Such a sick part in such a sick video. Joe Sexton's segment in that movie is also soooooo sick.
