NItro snowboards are rad. I was lucky enough to recently sit down with Nitro’s founders, part of the design team, their team manager, sales manager and our Northwest rep and figure out why. Now you can too.
“It seems like so long ago,” Mike says. He’s one of the designers at Nitro and he’s looking at the art for this year’s Eero on the gallery walls here at evo. The initial sketches are hung on the wall beneath the final graphic, which depicts a chaotic room strewn with boards, boots, cameras, books, pizza boxes, magazines.

You get a sense of what this kid is about and the jumble of his life translates to a sort of fervor for, well, snowboarding.
