Check out the Push.ca interview with TJ Schneider. It answers the big question of what new role he has in the snowboard industry.
Don’t forget to follow TJ’s snowboard blog, The Snowboard Realms, HERE.
One of the winters most anticipated contests, Supernatural, went down last weekend in Nelson, B.C., Canada. The contest was nothing like we’ve seen before. Over the summer Travis Rice and his team built over 100 man made features deep in the Canadian backcountry. There were no practice runs on the course, so it was unknown terrain for all the riders. The competition was all about who can read the mountain and use the “natural” features the best.
Home and Union riders pretty much dominated the contest, T.Rice 1st, Gigi 2nd!!
Travis and Gigi, all smiles.
Home watches has a pretty amazing team of guys.
Gigi Ruf, Mark Sollars… and now Travis Rice! Are you kidding me ? No, We are not kidding. Home and No Limits Distribution would like to welcome Travis Rice to the family.

Travis is known for being one of the most progressive riders in the world. He is a legend. And his love of exploration, of constantly pushing the boundaries, has spilled over into many and varied pursuits. He owns and currates A Symbol gallery, a vehicle for visual artists and connoisseurs of surf, skate, snow lifestyle (asymbolgallery.com).
He created Supernatural, a premier snowboarding event focused on big mountain freestyle.
He sails a boat like a pirate and comes to the aid of damsels in distress. Legend.

“Travis is much more than an extraordinary athlete to us, he represents uncompromised passion and commitment – the very fuel behind hOme’s sensibility. It’s hard to think of a better match” comments hOme’s CEO and co-founder Eddy Dousse.
The breaking news comes as a perfect follow-up for hOme only three months after having secured a distribution partner- ship with C3 for the US territory. True to himself Rice is as pumped as ever and already looks ahead :
“It is an honor to join two of my favorites, Gigi and Mark, to become a member of the hOme family ! A new and passionate company led by brothers Eddy & Jak, along with Brusti & Steve, with a fresh new vision, rooted in Swiss Precision. With C3’s support and a new level of standards for the market, I truly look forward to spending my future collaborating at hOme.”
