These days, snowboarders are like rock stars—super famous people that you can only really get close to by stalking, or on the Internet. Famous as they are, they still have to deal with summers, layovers, and downtime in general. PowerBook G4′s were last season’s hottest snowboard accessory, and pros love the MySpace almost as much as you do. So log in, you might be surprised at who you’ll find.
Editors note:
MySpace is played … but add us as your friend anyway!

Jason Borgstede
MySpace name: jason
Is it really him: Uh, yeah. Only Borgstede could come up with such a long winded, slightly clever, slightly arrogant “about me.
Chance he’ll add you: Pretty good, with 200 + friends and daily log-ins.
Peter Line
MySpace name: Peetardo
Is it really him: Absolutley, it’s a little known fact that Peter actually runs the internet.
Chance he’ll add you: Pretty alright. He has comments ranging from fans to kids he went to high school with.
Sean Tedore
MySpace name: Tedore
Is it really him: Yes. When you get hurt as much as Tedore, you have to come up with some way to occupy your time.
Chance he’ll add you: 500 plus friends. He clearly accepts everyone who adds him. As will his dog, Sir Winston III.
Robbie Sell
MySpace name: nobody (but it changes often)
Is it really him: Yep. Robbie recently learned how to use a computer.
Chance he’ll add you: 50-50. Send him a message first.
Matty Ryan
MySpace name: Matty

Chance he’ll add you: You and the other 332 people that have requested him. Unless he actually knows you, then you might get screened.
Jaqui Berg
MySpace name: Jaqui
It is really her: Yes, despite the picture being a drawing, this is the real deal.
Chance she’ll add you: She appears to be friends with mostly people she knows, so you might have to woo her a bit.
Corey Smith
MySpace name: Coreysmithart.com
Is it really him: Yes. Corey sees MySpace as the shameless self promotion tool that it is.
Chance he’ll add you: Hmm, almost 900 friends. That’s a 100 percent yes.
Pat Moore
MySpace name: Pat
Is it really him: Yep, the fake Pat Moore profiles will start popping out after this season.
Chance he’ll add you: Maybe if you ask really nicely.
Molly Aguirre
MySpace name: Molly
It is really her: Yes, if not, she has a pretty crazy stalker.
Chance she’ll add you: As one of the nicest people alive, Molly would probably feel bad denying anyone.
Lane Knaack

Is it really him: Uh huh. Lane uses MySpace to pick up chicks.
Chance he’ll add you: Are you a hot chick?
Shaun White
MySpace Name: Shaun
Is it really him: If he randomly started 15 profiles for no particular reason.
Chance he’ll add you: What does he care?
Stephen Duke

Is it really him: Yes. You can tell because he doesn’t even have to use words to describe himself.
Chance he’ll add you: Stephen clearly uses MySpace strictly to look popular. All he does is accept people.
TJ Schneider
MySpace Name: Mr. TJ Schneider
Is it really him: Yes. People don’t spend that long writing “about me’s on fake profiles.
Chance he’ll add you: Pretty good. Try it for yourself.
John Jackson
MySpace name: John
Is it really him: Probably not. Even pro snowboarders aren’t that crude.
Chanced he’ll add you: Someone will…
Laura Hadar

Chance he’ll add you: Maybe he’ll even sponsor you.
Joni Makinen
MySpace name: Joni
Is it really him: Yes, people only use the term “jet setting when referring to themselves.
Chance he’ll add you: He hasn’t been on MySpace long, so get in there before he realizes that have a ton of friends is kind of annoying.
Danny Kass
MySpace name: Dan, Danny, Danny Kass
It is really him: Out of the 8 profiles, not a chance.
Chance he’ll add you: As long as you pick one of the fake Danny’s that isn’t bored pretending.
Plenty other snowboard super stars are represented on MySpace. But, I’ve done enough legwork—go find the rest yourself! Rumor has it there’s even a fake Shane Flood profile out there somewhere, and if you’re behind it watch your back—Shane’s pissed!
