Jake Blauvelt is a kid from Vermont. He is so good at snowboarding that he turned pro. Now its not just his life, its his job, too. He is an exemplary young man, with great balance. I have been riding (and following snowboarding) for 20 years, and over all these years I have had a few favorite riders. Farmer, Campos, KJ, Huffman, Rüf and now Jake, positively. Now that I write them down, I wonder what link they share, since they are all such different cats. Anyway, Jake rules, so I got him to do an interview, too. Read a little about him.
