The Park and Pipe Crew

If you come ride at Jackson, and you meet a young man named Ranyon, buy him a cup of coffee because the guy never gets any sleep. The living definition of perfectionism, Ranyon is not afraid to put in long hours making sure the rest of us (including himself) have pristine transitions to ride when we wake up in the morning. In his downtime, he's a professional paraglider and product tester for Burton. He definitely rides better than you.

Not to be outdone on the perfection tip, our park and pipe leader, JP Martin (wrist pictured above) is the champion for all the freestyle kids in the valley. JP is one of the original K2 pros whose credits in the snowboard industry are too numerous to list here. A Whistler Camp of Champions loc, and OG badass -- he's not afraid to put on a pair of skis in order to show the short-ski jibbers how it's really done.

Vermont transplant, has-been-never-was, used to get free gear (but never a salary) from K2 and Wave Rave, but now gets it from Illuminati snowboards, Snowboarder Mag Media Melitia trash talker guy, Jeff Moran, likes to enter local contests, compete in the teenage division, and then act surprised when his friends give him a hard time about how beating a bunch of kids in a contest at a terrain park he rides and maintains every day doesn't really technically count as "winning."

The names of all the 2006-07 Park and Pipe Crew members (or at least those not running from the law) will be added soon. Hopefully, we'll be able to get a group picture together soon as well.
