Bio
Peace in the Chaos Jake Blauvelt from OAKLEY on Vimeo.
After more than 10 years on Oakley eyewear, Jake Blauvelt becomes the newest member of the Oakley Pro Rider Series apparel team. This is an evolutionary step for a kid who is devoted to progressing what is possible on his snowboard. From his early days on hill as a Vermont contest local, Jake has consistently pushed himself to find a path that is true to his dreams. That path has taken him from icy park jumps to powder turns; from podiums to heli drops and he has continued to evolve with every step.
To find out what Jake refuses to leave home without as he travels the world in search of un-tracked terrain, check our his feature in the April 2012 issue of One Icon Magazine, available for download on iTunes: http://oak.ly/HyPMhh.
