2-page Oakley A-Frame ad featuring Forum 8 team rider JP Walker. A great shot of JP from one of his park shoots featured in his Technical Difficulties part, with the iconic Special Blend camo jacket. Although when I think of JP and Oakley, the O-Frame comes to mind, but he did rock the A-Frames for awhile and always made them look steezy!

@therealjp & @devwalsh the GOATS 🐐 but actually. @seansheeppumperkearns episode is live! Sean is a skateboarder, a Snowboarder, a filmer, a producer and somebody who change the course of snowboarding, for the better or worse, great episode. Enjoy.

Iconic first trick in JP’s part in Mack Dawg Productions ‘Decade’. JP and the Farmington crew made this Mueller Park spot legendary from the amount of shots and clips they stacked up here. This clip was burned into my brain from watching Decade so many times. From the red Forum shirt, to the sketchy dismount to almost falling in the creek.

Backside lipslide in SLC, 2202 is now in t-shirt form @45rpmvintage ❄️ @robmathis shot this pic of me wide angle from the take off. This is one of my favorite shots. Dry stairs, sleeveless shirt, durag and a classic trick. This sums up my entire being from this era of snowboarding. @mackdawgproductions shot this for my part in Shakedown. 🫡 to Mike and Rob for capturing this moment on film. 🙏

It was an honor and a once in a lifetime opportunity to be selected by @xplinex to ride for Forum back in ‘96. I was also a life dream to have a pro model snowboard with my name on it. A few decades later getting the opportunity to do it all over again is surreal. My first pro model from @forum_snow originally dropped in ‘98 with my video part in @mackdawgproductions DECADE. It is now available once again in its original 154 directional shape with OG graphic and logo as part of Forums legend series. 🩵❄️🤍

The coveted opening part to a Mack Dawg movie this time (Decade) went to JP Walker. An amazing part filled with street clips, terrain park, resort, backcountry, it has it all, and with JP’s already identifiable signature skate-influenced style. Riding his first pro model with Forum (go pre-order the 2025 Reissue on @tactics ) and what looks like the Devun Walsh 153.

Here’s a still from the sequence in the previous post and a quote:

“JP Walker is the new breed of freestyle ruler. He takes his snowboarding seriously, and always seems to have the best time of anyone on the hill. Growing up studying the videos of Noah (Salasnek) and Peter (Line), JP has developed one of the best styles in snowboarding-he can do it all and proves it every time he straps on his board. With this extended backside lipslide, JP moves a step closer to being knowas the best jibber of all time.”

“We’d go to Mitch Nelson’s house every day to ride his backyard. We went crazy there: we built a 4x8 plywood fun box. We’d haul in snow from all the neighbors’ yards and lay down a runway as wide as our boards, jib the box and land on the grass. And when that got old, we’d find some stairs and practice handrails all day.” - JP Walker

Classic sequence of JP on the Mueller Park handrail, which JP, Jeremy & the rest of the SLC crew made famous.

And just like that, as soon as I gave up on finding it and moved forward, I finally found the missing piece to the Bug Ads!

Here’s JP covered in scorpions 🦂
“Yes, these are real, live scorpions. An insurance policy for JP was acquired for the shooting of this ad.”

“They kept these scorpions on ice so they would be more docile. The studio lights and my body temp would heat them up and they would get active and they would need to switch them out for iced down ones.” - JP Walker

I’m want to share my new signature @thirtytwo boot and outerwear kit. Grey snow camo almost working too good on slide 2 🤍🩶🤍 I’ve stepped out of the black/white way of thinking and been exploring the grey/color. I’m really stoked on how this came out and I think this is a good representation of my vibe past and present. Shout out to everyone at 32 that worked on this with me.
