Damon Butler
Damon’s one of those riders that is super focused, super committed, but always has time to stop and help somebody out with whatever they’re working on. He made the switch from competing in superpipe to slopestyle this season and apparently it was a good decision, as he recently claimed first at the USASA Rocky Mountain series in slopestyle. We expect more medals to be thrown his way soon.
He’s super fun to ride with as you’ll just be chilling along a run when all of a sudden he spins a backflip off a bump you barely saw. He can throw backside double corks off kickers and doesn’t even break a sweat. We’re super excited to add him to our team and can promise you’ll be seeing his name around quite a bit.
And if you catch him before he makes it big, you can book a lesson with him at the Steamboat Ski and Resort in Steamboat Springs, CO where he works as a snowboard instructor when he’s not competing.
