Steve Blasko... there is a good chance you aren't familiar with Steve. Before our Autumn Line days, we were making local snow movies in Ohio under the guise Hardwire Productions. One of the crew then was a kid named Steve Blasko.

Blasko was and is a character. Perpetually in school, wearing girls jeans 24/7, always listening to obscure bands no one has ever heard of, and pushing the limits of his snowboarding in his own way. Blasko, Skizzo, Ballsko, Skizm, Blaskizm... or any other of his numerous nicknames, had always done things differently. From bomb drops, to sketchy drop-ins, to odd spots no one else would ride. Steve lived in the upstairs of a funeral home for years until he moved to a loft in hickville usa with 20ft ceilings and a mini ramp inside.. the dudes on his own page.

Blasko isn't trying to be a pro snowboarder, just likes riding crazy stuff and loving snowboarding, which is more then what I can say about of lot of people. He's the guy that in September will tell you "It might snow on friday night.. forecast is showing flurries", just cause he is so amped for the cold. Well Steve decided to grow up a bit this year and got a job on the west coast teaching kids smart people things... He checked in to give us an update.
