Man was absolute killing it a few years back, but I haven't seen anything from him since SuperUnkown.

LamSobinskyStarted snowboarding


This, he's done cork 7s on 50ft kickers on a board this season. No clue what the motivation behind the switch was. Maybe just sick of skiing, he started out snowboarding so I can see why he would want to go back. Making a change from something you already know well is definitely not a bad thing, plus snowboarding gear is usually slightly cheaper than ski gear.

Could someone be a hero and send this thread to him on IG or something to get a response from him in here?

Pretty sure he was snowboarding before skiing. Must have just wanted to go back after being away from it for a few years. Either way the kid is dumb talented

I heard there was a problem with the way his ski boots fit and snowboard boots / snowboarding was more comfortable, idk where I heard that from though so I could be 100% wrong but the dude shreds on sticks or the board
