Everyone who gets into snowboarding, especially in Australia, has an interesting story of how they came to love snowboarding. In a country with no snow, bar a few select regions, it is always fascinating to hear how people found their place in the snow.

Andy James, who we recently interviewed in issue #63 of snowboarding, is no exception. We briefly found out about his tenure as a "Pro" mountain boarder and his quest to become the first in the world to complete a double backflip. With the aid of the internet we have dug up some old commercials and footage of the big fella before he found his way to the snow.
