Jamie Lynn arguably has the greatest style in the history of snowboarding. We catch up with him at his Seattle home that he currently shares with his overweight cat. Also, Chris Roach and the usual suspects explain why Jamie Lynn is a far cooler specimen than Britney Spears’ sister, the other Jamie Lynn. We even sneak in a little action montage edited to a song by Jamie’s band, Kandi Coded.
A smorgasbord of snowboarding’s movers-and-shakers explain how Jamie was the first of his kind—apparently, it’s all in the cowboy stance. Jamie recalls a story of how Mike Ranquet and co. influenced him to savvy up to cab tricks and how, a few years later while riding with Terje Haaksonen in Norway, Jamie would put down the biggest cab-5 anyone had seen yet. In short, the style continues.
We have the first ever Powder & Rails love story with a true Mount Hood Timberline romance. We also talk about maintaining integrity through 20 years of snowboarding and get a chance to check out Jamie’s signature snowboards that show up in the mail. Jamie explains that being able to design all the artwork on his pro model equipment is just part of the reason he’s stayed loyal to the same companies for over 15 years.
Jamie walks us through his internal debates on some heavy stuff like marriage, life as a career snowboarder, and the temptations that a strapping young snowboard king grapples with. But Father Time is the ultimate party crasher and Jamie must submit to his inevitable induction into the history books as a new generation of snowboarders gain the spotlight. No matter though, since Jamie’s style and impact have earned him universal admiration and have cemented him as one of the sport’s most respected and inspirational players. He ends the series as he should—with no regrets.
