Trevor Jacob - Snowboard
 |
Trevor Jacob doesn’t remember learning how to snowboard. His parents, both snowboarders, put him on a board as soon as he learned how to walk. They drove up to Mammoth every weekend from their home in Malibu, CA. He’s been slaying the competition at the regional amateur comps ever since, winning both halfpipe and slopestyle at the USASA Nationals in 2006. Trevor made snowboarding history in 2007 when after winning the Burton U.S. Open Junior Jam and then he went on to compete as the youngest rider ever in the men’s U.S. Open Halfpipe finals at 13-years-old. He finished an impressive 15th out of 125 competitors.
“Anyone who saw Trevor’s David vs. snowboarding’s Goliaths performance will never forget the one thing that he alone was doing at the end of each Open run: smiling,” writes Pat Bridges in Snowboarder Magazine. “Of course, you’d flash your pearls, too, if you just had your braces taken off. None too soon to make your national TV debut, either.” Trevor was featured in this year’s Snowboarder Magazine “Minor Threat” section for trick-tip: how to handplant on a wallride and also filmed a Jan 2008 spot on Fuel TV’s “New Pollution.” Whether it’s neck-deep powder or the 22-foot walls of the U.S. Open superpipe, this high-flying competitor is ready to go big.
