Adam Dowell Is More Metal than you!

Adam Dowell lives in Jackson Hole, Wyoming where the mountains are big and the women are lacking. He warms up on lines that would make most people crap their pants and curl up into the fetal position, all while listening to metal. He’s paid his dues, worked his ass off to get where he’s at, and now he wants to give you some answers to some questions I shot at him. So here’s a look into one of Jackson Holes up and comers.

The obligatory sponsors list?

Adam Dowell: Lamar, Billabong, Smith, Drop, Bluebird, Remind, Union

Camber or Reverse Camber which one do you ride and why?

AD: For filming I like camber. I know it and can trust it to perform. I’ve ridden reverse before but I’d say it’s just fun on a pow day at the resort.

Jackson Hole has some serious snowboard legends there, what was it like growing up in the presence of these guys and how has it helped shape you as a rider?

AD: I feel very blessed to have the roll models I do here in Jackson. Every one of them is on the level and takes snowboarding seriously. I was very lucky that my brother Brodi was a pro back in the day and so I sort of had an in with guys like Bryan Iguchi, Lance Pitman, Rob Kingwill, and Willie Mcmillon. I definitely had to prove that I deserved to ride with them, but they all took me under their wing which is important in snowboarding. Rice was only a few years older than me so him and I were friends before we ever even rode together. I work very hard in the backcountry with the people I ride with around here because they’re all extremely knowledgeable and don’t fuck around. A major part of being the youngest guy in the crew is the fact that those guys will make you hit shit first and prove yourself which has for sure shaped my riding.

REMIND INSOLES FOOT PAIN STORY WINNER!

This weeks winner for the Remind Insoles Foot pain story goes to Jordan Grados.  Thanks Jordan for reaching out and sharing your story with us!  We deeply feel for you  and hopefully these can ease your pain! Here is his story:

Hello my name is Jordan Grados and i think i have a good foot pain story for you guys. I am 26 now but ive been dealing with ankle/ foot pain now for many years. I have very bad flat feet so over the years growing up the doctors all told me “oh its just growing pains” well, after years of hearing that and hardly being able to walk after a long day of work or day on my feet. i went to my neighbor who is a hip/knee MD and he looked up Dr. Hasselman for me out of UPMC Pittsburgh. i went to him he took a look at my flats and said “wow why didnt you come to me as a child.” i was then so pist at my family doctors gorwing up. long story short i had a tarsal bone coalition done to both feet. i was living in Colorado at the time so i had to drive back and forth for 2 years to get the surgery on both feet. well that didnt really help. i forgot to add that i was using orthotics as well. so after those 2 surgeries i went back to him because my right ankle/foot kept giving out. so we did some test and a ct scan and he said i need the big surgery. that consisted of 3 incisions. one on my calf where they tore my achilles tendon to lengthen it. one on the inside of my foot where they put a cadaver piece of bone and another incision on the outside of my foot to take some bone out and to shave some out. im not a doctor but this doctor is to be one of the best so i went with it. My snowboard season has been shot down and we are having one of the best winters in PA right now. The doctor also did a lot more but i forget all the med talk.
My status right now after having surgery in October is moderate i guess. I am still in a lot of pain and still going to physical therapy. i could go on and on like about how many cast ive been in and all that stuff but i dont want to put the bore on you guys.

I have been checking out your site and being the big snowboarder that i am im just reaching out to any help that you could give. I saw that u were giving away some free orthotics for a good story. well mine i think is over the top and some. Id love to hear back from you guys and look forward to soon be feeling better. Thank you for your time.

-Jordan Grados
