Snowboarding legend Jim Ripey talks about his life as a professional snowboarder on and off the mountain.
Jim was one of the biggest names in snowboarding in the late 90's and early 2000's. Winning tons of contest all over the world, we received an ESPY for being the first person to complete a backflip on a snowmobile. While on a mountain filming another action sports film, Jim has an encounter with God. That encounter drove him to find a church and read the Bible.
His life was never the same after.
