Shaun White is without a doubt the most amazing snowboarder there is today. He was born September 3, 1986, making him only 19 years old. White's home town is San Diego, California. Coming back from a knee injury last year, Shaun has still won many of the contests this year in 2005, including the X-Games Super-pipe and Slope-style, the Winter Olympics Super-pipe, and the Honda Session at Vail. Shaun has created his own outerwear clothing line and even has his own signature boots and board. Overall Shaun White is one of the great snowboarders of all time.
Jeremy Jones is a well known goofy footed rider. He was born in Salt Lake City Utah. He is praised for his gnarly street rails and riding back-country trails. Jones also has his own two pro models which he modifies with Burton each year. Year after year Jeremy Jones makes great video segments that progress the sport. In the non-winter months Jeremy hits up Utah's skate parks and enjoys spending time with his wife and newborn daughter.
Keir Dillon was born on June 1, 1977. His home-base is in Carlsbad California. Dillon still is hunting for an Olympic spot and has come oh-so-close. He has been training very hard in the 2005 to 2006 season for super-pipe events. Kier continues to hold his reputation as a crowd pleaser and showman. He has a great personality too, which makes him popular with the media and one of the main members of the Burton Team. Kier Dillon rides a Burton Vapor 160 with Cartel bindings.
Kelly Clark is easily the top woman snowboarder today. She is also one of the most versatile riders, using backcountry kickers, powder lines, park jumps, and rails. In the 2004/2005 season Kelly placed in 12 halfpipe events and to end the season she had six consecutive wins. Kelly has come back from some very bad injuries and still performs as if nothing happened. Kelly is busy developing her own board line with Hannah Teter and Molly Aguirre.
AMK, whose real name is Anne Molin Kongsgaard, is one of the longest running members in the Burton Women's Team. She is known for her huge airs and technical tricks. She has always been progressing the sport. In 2000 she was the first woman to land a frontside 900 in a halfpipe. This goofy rider has her eyes set on making the Norwegian Olympic Halfpipe Team. AMK rides a Burton Troop with Lexa bindings.
Hannah has only been on the Burton Team for a year now but still has gotten as much media attention as most of the other pros have in their lifetime. This is due to her aggressive riding and youthful personality. Hannah won gold in the 2006 Winter Olympic Womens Halfpipe Event. After training at Mount Hood and in New Zealand all season, winnning many events on the way, the Olypic gold came easily to Teter. Hannah also found time to be in the film "First Descent." Hannah Teter rides a Burton Custom X with Burton Lexa Bindings.
