"We were like a punk band that you couldn't separate". The aforementioned quote from Jason Ford may not resonate, but it surely paints the picture of a mid 90's snowboard team that helped forge a path to mainstream culture. Even so, Russel Winfield, Jason Ford, and Mikey LeBlanc are just three pieces to the complex puzzle that is ride's 30-year history. Thankfully, ROUGH AROUND THE EDGES is here to fill in the rest.
In the 30 years since RIDE's inception, there's been a lot of ups and downs. To put it into perspective, being one of the only snowboard companies to go public on the NASDAQ is just the tip of the iceberg; three decades provides more than enough to uncover.
