High 5's with Jesse Burtner

Jesse Burtner 

Age: less  (just kidding I'm 32) 

Home Seattle Washington 

Sponsors: Lib Tech, Airblaster, Spacecraft, The Summit At Snoqaulmie

HUS: You have been making some of the freshest videos for years now.  How do you keep it fresh every year?

JB: I keep it fresh by coming up with an idea that I really want to express, something new that I feel like will be interesting to explore through snowboarding.  It's all about the idea behind the direction of the movie for Think Thank.  Always forward, always new and never the easy choice.

HUS: Where is a place you have not yet been to, to shred?

JB: I've never been to Chile or New Zealand.  I wanted to be a pro snowboarder so I could travel the world snowboarding on someone else's dime. It never happened like that, so I just started sending myself on trips. 

HUS: Without googling, what can you tell me about the U.S civil war?

JB: It was about slavery but also about States Rights versus a federal government.  It set in motion a lot of good things like the civil rights movement and possibly made America the super power she is, but also hurt a lot of people especially in the South where the economic sanctions the North imposed are still being felt today.  PS the states rights issue is still just as contentious.  

HUS: What’s it like working with Geno?

JB: Working with Sean Genovese is epic.  He is like a solid rock of work ethic, creativity and moral integrity.  And he's just getting better on his board every year.  

HUS: What’s the process for picking the music for the videos?  Is it something you and Sean do, or do the riders bring ideas?...(I have loved the music)

JB: Christina, Sean and I all pick the music.  If one of them finds a song they feed it to me and if I'm into it they go after the rights.  I'm already working on next year's soundtrack, it's a long sometimes painful process, but I get to find awesome new music all the time!


I would like to thank Jesse for taking time out of his hectic early season to give us some LOVE

High 5's with

There are a whole lot of people behind the brands you see advertised here on this catablog.
Here at the ugly sweater we want you to be a part of the whole experience of buying the brands we indorse.  I have chosen to interview the people who have firsthand experiences with the brands.  Some professional, some local, all real.
This is Lucas Ouellette, Whistler Mountain park builder for the past five years, head digger of camp COC, and  professional of the goggle tan.
Lucas Ouellette
Age: 24
Resides: Whistler,B.C
Sponsors: D.W.D, Westbeach, Union
 HUS: Without googling, what can you tell me about the U.S. civil war?

LO: I don't know shit about it! Must of been pretty mellow though if it was called the 'civil' war...
HUS: What’s it like being part of DWD?

LO: It's fuckin sick! It's a company I back 100 percent, and have since day one. It's awesome to do more than just ride their boards and wear their hoodies. They really involve the team with graphic ideas and board specs. They actually give a shit and listen to people. Sean and Jeff are two solid humans. I'm so stoked to have become such good friends with them.
HUS: Maet or Rat Maet?

LO:  I never rode a reverse camber board before the rat. Now I can't ride a normal camber board. The rat is so much fun! So yea, I'm a rat guy.
HUS: You’re a big up and coming professional snow boarder, why no energy drink sponsor?

LO:  HA. I've actually never had an energy drink in my life. Not my thing. I'll stick to cream soda.
HUS: You are getting in a four passenger car with five people for a 2,000 mile journey, who is in the car?

LO: Keenan, Geno, Ashley and Darryl. It would be a hilarious 2000 miles!
HUS: Thanks Lucas.  Any last words for our homies?

LO: Support true rider owned snowboard companies. Not ski or shoe brands. BUY A DWD!!!
