“It was like watching the Zapruder film. Silent. Grainy. Recorded history. The film is black and white and starts out with a pan on a snowy Chicago street, Model T’s parked in a row. Then there is a man at the crest of a snow-covered hill, getting his foot under a strap on this snowboard contraption, with a nose rope in one hand and something like a riding crop in the other. He drops in and goes right by the camera, bombing it.”
—from The Wicklund Project, the tale of snowboarding’s true pioneer as told by David Schriber
