This week’s conversation is with Jake Blauvelt, one of the world’s best all around snowboarders.
He’s got a smooth, creative and effortless-looking style and it’s lifted him into an elite group of top athletes in the snowboarding world.
Jake’s career started like most other snowboarders: traveling from contest to contest, making a name for himself riding half pipe & slopestyle events, & eventually winning the Burton US Open Slopestyle in 2004, one of the most prestigious events in snowboarding.
It wasn’t long before Jake realized that his was a different calling; his style & his capability on a snowboard belonged in the backcountry, in natural terrain where he could let his endless imagination & creativity run wild where he could find his own lines and make use of the features that nature provides.
Jake sees himself as an artist, not a stuntman and in this conversation we get into everything from how Jake approaches risk, trains confidence, and aspires to live in the state of flow.
Jake is true to himself and I appreciated his willingness to open up.

0:54.3 | is to search for what they're searching for, |
0:57.0 | and to see if we can understand their psychological framework, |
0:59.5 | which is how they understand themselves |
1:01.5 | in the world and events, |
