Thank U Snowboarding - S3 - Ep1 - Jonny Weeks

Its almost a lifetime ago that I last saw Jonny. We spent a few intense periods together whilst he was working for Airwalk and I was helping him out, normally in return for some beer vouchers and some kit.

Jonny is a legend in the UK industry, he held things down at Burton for quite a while before running Airwalk, helping them devolop a product line which, for a while, was one of the strongest lines of product in any brand, really innovative, stylish and well priced.

He is responsble for so many riders getting free kit to help them live out their dreams, and was always at the centre of all things good in the UK scene. Legend has it his way of choosing who would ride for his brands was pretty much who could keep up on a night out!

Aside from the fun nights out though, Jonny knew his way round the industry and had an innate sense of what was good and what was shit, and was one of the few people who made the leap to the big league out in the US.

He hasn't changed an ounce in the time I haven't seen him and I hope it isn't that long again before I hear that laugh and hear his stories.

If you want to know more about the Thank U Snowboarding Community Camp in March 26, there are details here: https://thankusnowboarding.wixsite.com/spring2026 or you can email us at thankusnowboarding@gmail.com

We are supported by the rad crew at The Snowboard Asylum, and their new website with all this seasons product is online now: https://www.snowboard-asylum.com/

We are also looked after by Dan and Lizzie at Burton https://www.burton.com/gb/en and Tom at High Days for Volcom https://highdaysltd.com/

I'd like to take a moment to introduce FourTwenTea, which is delicious tea embibed with CBD oil, which I have been drinking over this summer, just to help keep my brain from overheating. Its completely natural, Jemma, the owner, is a snowboarder and total legend and I can't recommend this stuff enough, so go check it out: https://fourtwentea.com/

We'll be back every week for the next 23 weeks with interesting stories from the world of UK snowboarding, so see you then!

Peace x
