Hanging out deep in the Jackson backcountry with the infamous Bluebird crew, John Makens has been living under the radar and scoring endless POW runs for years. Be on the look out for him to put his mark on this growing Mecca of a snowboard community.

September 27th, 2009 at 4:45 pm
He doesn't ride rails, he doesn't wear tight pants and he doesn't look like a lead singer. HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH
September 27th, 2009 at 5:05 pm
he needs to tuck in those floppy ol gloves
September 27th, 2009 at 5:10 pm
sounds like this guy is a REAL snowboarder seeing as he rides snow not metal
September 27th, 2009 at 5:39 pm

September 27th, 2009 at 6:32 pm

September 27th, 2009 at 9:23 pm
Thats like saying leave the halfpipe to shaun white or leave snowboarding to Terje. Get a clue bro, you probubaly live in so cal and if you don't you should move there.
September 27th, 2009 at 9:27 pm
Nice.. That front 3 double shifty is a little painful though.. Like the cab 5 nose and pow riding lines though!
September 27th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
Three basic flaws no tight pants, no lead singer style and no rails
September 27th, 2009 at 9:32 pm
that was a little lame, shuffle's are so 03/04…
September 27th, 2009 at 9:44 pm
i agree with whodoyalove, teflon tim your a fucking tool, this guy shreds
September 27th, 2009 at 10:01 pm
dudes going no where, y would u limit yourself by not riding rails? tool
September 27th, 2009 at 10:02 pm
…his style is just wack
September 27th, 2009 at 11:00 pm
he should sleep till about five, that way we wont have to see him ride. whack.
September 27th, 2009 at 11:03 pm
HATTTERS.
September 27th, 2009 at 11:20 pm
haha idiot, do shiftys like him f@g
September 28th, 2009 at 12:14 am
hey burd you would be in the hospital in 5 minutes in j hole or on these huge pow runs
September 28th, 2009 at 12:51 am
wow all the haters, he's shredding nd having fun. There should be an age limit on tw. Was a nice watch a fresh as hell to see some decent powder INSTEAD of little pricks with tight jeans doing the same stuff on rails thinking they are the boy in the U S OF AIIIII. Come over to my neck of the woods in europe and its sick also and more about the pow than guns, gangsters and 13 year olds with train tracks on their mouths thinking they are the shit. Pick your sh*t up and go back to sweet valley high hombres. x
September 28th, 2009 at 1:06 am
his spins are so damn ugly, and dave your a tool please kill your self
September 28th, 2009 at 1:22 am
easy man. is it really necessary to be that harsh? what if someone said that to you? relax. no need to hate.
September 28th, 2009 at 1:45 am
ugly spins? mate ur a absolute idiot for saying that and my guess funded by your parents to snowboard. do me a favour and take up inline skating you chimp
September 28th, 2009 at 2:14 am
did he ride a rome postermania?
September 28th, 2009 at 2:21 am
Anon agrees with whodoyoulove cause they're dating, but moving on to that wack ass video. Thats probally some of the worst backcountry footage I've seen in a while. I said leave Jackson Hole to T-Rice, cause watching him ride there is incredible, and these little fags are the boy band knob gobblins they were talking about. Thanks Rome, for shouting out homos like Anon and whodoyoulove, they need the love.
September 28th, 2009 at 2:21 am
fits right in with rome tho, no style at all. perfect for rome
September 28th, 2009 at 2:56 am
That was hilarious
September 28th, 2009 at 3:34 am
wow, can't believe how many haters are on this movie……it's got pow and it's an am kid cruising…I guess Rome should have just made another video with boxes park and rails…..these message boards are so gay!
September 28th, 2009 at 3:36 am
Haters!!! Makens is the coolest dude ever, if you dont know him dont hate. Just cause he's constantly drowning in face shots while you stare at your computer and bring the shred community down. Since when did snowboarding lose its soul…? Soul shred lives in jackson, where it always has!!! Nice work Maken's! Stoked for you man
September 28th, 2009 at 4:01 am
this is my first time actually reading comments instead of just watching the videos and I can't believe how ignorant and unsupportive everyone on TW is. last time i read any comments… that was a sick video and if you can't enjoy watching that then you have never ridden a powder line of the massive size and technicality. eat a dick haters.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:08 am
how are people hating on this guys style? guy strat rips
September 28th, 2009 at 4:19 am
Yeah Dude….keep hating…must make you feel so good
September 28th, 2009 at 4:34 am
if you have hate in your heart let it out
September 28th, 2009 at 4:44 am
Damn that kid rips. Can't wait to see more of him
September 28th, 2009 at 5:10 am

September 28th, 2009 at 6:21 am

September 28th, 2009 at 6:33 am

September 28th, 2009 at 12:32 pm

September 28th, 2009 at 12:33 pm

September 28th, 2009 at 2:23 pm
stopped the video. Who cares who this is.not saying he isn't a cool dude, just what i see from the video, which was bad.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:06 pm
dude, if you lived in jhole you probably wouldnt ride rails that much either. place is epic pow. and this is coming from a kid who lives in wisco, so best believe ALL i do is ride rails so dont give me shit about bein a pow-whore.
no go wrench on yourself.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:08 pm
agreed.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:12 pm
this post got me stoked on so many levels…first, midwest is best…hands down. everyones tight, and they appreciate what they can ride. i ride ice every day during winter only to look forward to riding colorado in spring for nationals.
second, u point out the obvious, this kid is having fun. ever watch a rome video? everyone is stoked on everyone and everyones havin fun.
thats my word, wisco kid out. hella props on the post.
September 28th, 2009 at 3:17 pm
you mean you stopped the video after you watched it 10 times wishing you live in jackson hole like this guy? yeah, go suck a dick.
September 28th, 2009 at 4:26 pm
I'll drown YOU in a face shot…homo! I'll be glad to give you FACE SHOTS all day!
September 28th, 2009 at 4:27 pm
all of the people saying negative things about this clearly live nowhere near an actual mountain…
September 28th, 2009 at 4:40 pm
this if freakin awesome! how can ANYONE possibly hate on this delightfulness?? retards
September 28th, 2009 at 5:29 pm
live in the rockies this is what i ride. you are obviously to dumb to have noticed that. sorry you guys are butt buddies and take the tws.com a little too serious.
September 28th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
hey boan you hipster fuck , go fall head first on some stairs soon…….
September 28th, 2009 at 7:25 pm
Who the F*CK is John Maken? Still not sure, but his friend is an illiterate fascist pig. "Dude, dude, fu*kin' fu*kin', dude, totes bro, dude dude broder. He must snowboard. I guess we all have to wake up at 2 and shred pow all day, everyday in order to be cool. What are you trying to breed a generation of "pow shredders"? Yeah, let's limit creativity and innovation in order to cater to cool guys image of snowboarding.
September 28th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
Wasn't this guy in Lovehate or the other kids know film?
Anyway. If you think this guys style sucks I've got some bad news for you. You probably like teh cock. What's with all the cum guzzeling going on on this site lately? Fuck, just watch and respect you retards.
September 28th, 2009 at 9:07 pm
Thats some really gay hate.
September 28th, 2009 at 10:48 pm
Sick video, crazy lines- looks so fun. Wondering though- is this Rome's attempt to get a Jackson cowboy cracker on the set? I think Lib's got that covered.
Still, cool edit though… pining for pow.
September 29th, 2009 at 2:43 am
damn you sound real butt hurt, tell bradshaw whats up timmy. haha
September 29th, 2009 at 2:53 am
MAKENS IS THE SHIIIT!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH HOMIE!!!!!!!
September 29th, 2009 at 7:05 am
Killing it Makens!!!! Nice work im stoked for you
September 29th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
idk who this guy is, but his style is fucking terrible…everyone that watches this video knows that too. his arms are all flapping around and shit. the riding is okay the jumping shit sucks. pretty much wasted my time. who the fuck in john makens?? i can tell ya, hes a terrible styled snowboarder.
now tyler flanagan is the shit, he has the best style in snowboarding. just watch this video.

September 29th, 2009 at 7:28 pm
yep tool , have you been to JH ? please stay away if not. Bluebird Crew shreds hard , Makens is makin $. He could give a fuck about Rome.
September 29th, 2009 at 7:35 pm
All you haters are idiots and are probably the same fucks that are hating on Vito right now as well… You would DIE in JH , please come there and try to get half the footage that Makens has without ending up in the hospital. Seriously, non big mountain people or those who have never been to Jackson please SHUT UP. You obviously dont have a clue about real snowboarding.
September 29th, 2009 at 8:50 pm
