Eric Jackson is truly a product of his environment. Raised on the steeps of California’s Eastern Sierra range, E-Jack grew up riding the massive parks of Mammoth and exploring the surrounding backcountry as a hyperactive grom. Driven by his older brother John, Eric rode twice as hard and developed a deep bag of tricks and explosive style. This dedication quickly earned him professional status and a yearly spot on the Standard Films roster. In 2011, Eric joined a new crew and produced a mind-bending blower pow-filled part for People Films’ Good Look that earned him Men’s Video Part of The Year honours from TransWorld Snowboarding as well as a spot on SNOWBOARDER Magazine’s Top Ten Riders Of The Year list. In this wayward wanderer’s most recent adventure, Eric embarked on the mission of lifetime, road tripping and riding from Alaska all the way down to the tip of South America with his brother and it was all documented in the award-winning web series, Brothers on the Run.
SKINANIGANS! presents Lars Tynes – “PhD in stomponomics”.
“I’ve been fortunate to start SKINANIGANS with Anders Nummedal and Fredrik Bergan this season, and I’ve been spending my fair share of time behind the lens and the editing software, but I’ve gotten a few shots of my own throughout the season. We started Skinanigans to being able to deliver a good season recap rather than waiting untill late summer before actually getting our hands on the footage from the long-therm projects. – So this is my season recap with SKINANIGANS! Oh, and take the title with a grain of salt, hah!”
