JP Walker prevails as one of the defining figures in modern street snowboarding with a catalog spanning more than 20 years. Widely regarded as the godfather of jibbing and often referred to as “The Don,” Walker was integral in developing urban and street snowboarding in the late 1990s, pushing the sport’s limits beyond traditional terrain. Over the course of his career he appeared in 24 full video parts and countless cameos, filmed the first all-switch part in Stepchild’s “This Video Sucks”, landed the first double cork in the backcountry and was named one of Snowboarder’s “Top 10 Riders” six times — more than any other rider in the magazine’s history.
As part of their 30th anniversary, Thirty Two present “In Steel We Trust,” a three-minute retrospective edited by Mack Dawg. The video traces Walker’s career, spanning from Sallad Productions’ “Something Goin’ On” in 1995 through “Smoke Screen” in 2018, bringing together more than two decades of footage highlights.
