(Notice how I rode around that first drop in Episode 9 lol)
Jarod, Daniele, Max, Jacob. Spelled Daniele's name wrong in the video - my bad. I broke my helmet mount early on in the day so I wasn't able to get great footage of my own runs or of my buddies. Still filmed a lot, but this was all I was able to scrape together. Enjoy!
My name is Jarod/J-Rod and I'm a 1996er from Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada. I've been snowboarding at Big White since I was 12 years old and it has NOT been injury-free. I have had numerous hard falls and impacts to my head, one concussion snowboarding (and a few in other places), a shattered right shoulder (started in 2014, surgery in 2021), a fractured T9 vertebra (2015), and a shattered L1 vertebra (2022). I ride a 2021 NeverSummer Shaper Twin because it's the best snowboard on earth. This mountain is a special place to me, and it feels like home. Spoiled By Bad Line Choices is a joke about how you can have some really special experiences if you take lines that look so sketchy that most sensible people won't take them (my favorite is to go between very tight trees for the untouched powder). It's a series of myself and some of my friends at Big White just hanging around having time, with the secondary purpose of partially vlogging my seasonal goal to ride all 120+ runs/glades at Big White. I have a unique work schedule and have a very fuel efficient car so I end up going alone a lot but I don't mind it!
