here is this mystery
rock star from Seattle
whose aerial attacks.
have made adolescent boys
freak out to the point of total
integrity blowout. Peter Line
by no means intends to have
little boys (or girls, for that
matter) freak out. His
demeanor is very incognito,
to say the least. In fact, I get
more out of his beautiful,
glorious, fantastic, super-
model girlfriend, who I have
only known for a couple.
weeks. I've known Peter for a
few years, but our conversa-
tions usually revolve around
me talking and him laugh-
ing at me. Let's get back to i
his girlfriend. Julie is a
European supermama. Tall,
well-spoken, and unbeliev-
ably intuitive, she knew I was
ultra-bitchin' the moment
she saw me. She takes excel-
lent care of Peter. He would be nowhere without her. She induces a barrage of emotion
from the young lad. Normally he is covered in social camouflage; his naturally humble.
character almost seems weird. Sometimes I walk up and say, "Hey, Pete, would you
brag about something, please?!" He never does. Advertising hype has an overwhelming
ability to infiltrate our logic. There is a slew of advertised rippers who aren't rippers at all.
Peter undoubtedly has earned his place in shredding. Just as I was the first person to ride
bowlegged back in 1971, Peter is earmarked as the first snowboarder to really start gyro-
scopic rotation. He is a virtual parabola of swirling snowboard talent.
All in all, Peter is an on-snow gymnast with the concentration and bullshit-free
mentality that marks real athletes. I'm not saying that everybody should be like Peter.
Heck, I'm not. The only reason I get along with
the guy is because we are polar opposites.
What insights have I collected from my times
with Peter? Each snowboarder adds charisma
to the universe. Don't ever try to outdo some
body "at being themselves." Peter would never
take on somebody else's style. Besides, it's
impossible to outdo somebody at being them
selves. Let your snowboarding become an
extension of who you are inside.

When you watch Peter ride his sled, you quickly
learn that he is a galactic space traveling alien
with love proton rays that work only on luscious
European goddesses who dig hanging out with Kris
Jamieson (like his favorite girl, Julie). On top of
that, he would never hurt a soul. However, if you
should give him any flak, he'll probably blast you
with his laser raygun or have Julie kick your ass.
