HAINES, ALASKA – It’s easy for someone to loose direction when they do the same thing over and over again. Not Jake Koia. Raised in New Zealand’s adventure capital, Queenstown, Jake is no stranger to the snow. He grew up snowboarding, even taking it as a subject at school. Jake’s progression to a professional snowboarder was almost predetermined.

Session 2 brought the urban vibes to the mountain with the help of the Downtown Throwdown Team Takeover Week. Kicking off the last stop of The Feeders, a heavy list of DTTD favorites came out to rip the park and dish out some judgement. Congrats to Jake Rose for taking home the invite to the big event in Minneapolis this fall. Nothing like a good ol’ American rail jam to make Session 2 even better. Thanks to Lib Tech, Monster Energy, Arnette, Diecutstickers.com, Snowboy Productions, and the whole Downtown Throwdown crew for one heck of a week!
Last winter, Signal Snowboards riders Jake Olson-Elm, Danimals and Yusaku Horii traveled through Japan by Camper Van, exploring the local scene by way of their snowboards. The footage they filmed was edited into “Epic Dayz”, a creative and unique look at this Signal Japan trip. The raw style of filming not only highlights the shred skills of these three riders, but also provides a more personal look into the exploration and experience of their trip. It is clear that while spreading the signal_life, this crew found powder, parks, and a really epic time.
