John Jackson goes home with two awards

Friday night in Denver was off the hook—it’s going bananas right now! The TransWorld SNOWboarding Riders’ Poll Awards went down in style at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium where a crowd of thousands gathered to recognize snowboarding’s best riders. And of course, to party their asses off. Show co-hosts Eddie Wall and GT welcomed riders, industry, and for the first time ever, the public to join in cheering for the nominees, all-star awards presenters, and of course, this year’s winners.

Freestyle powerhouse John Jackson also scooped the two big ones, winning for Men’s Video Part Of The Year and Men’s Rider Of The Year honors. John’s mind-numbing video part in Forum’s Forever pretty much sealed the deal on this year’s Riders’ Poll. To be voted the very best rider, by the best riders in snowboarding is serious business. The always humble Jackson, who learned his chops in California’s Eastern Sierra’s mountain said, “It feels amazing—I’ve never really won anything so it means alot, thank you, seriously.”
