Terry Kidwell wrote snowboarding's style bible. His tricks on the rudimentary Tahoe "vert" of the early 80s and airs on natural terrain (Wine Rock!) made him peerless for more than half the decade. Even when other riders "caught up" to his skatey handplants, McTwists, and confident tweaks, nobody rode with Kidwell's style. Nobody. "I couldn't have asked for a better subject to let me practice the technique of photography while truly being the essence of the art that I was trying to capture," says photo pioneer Bud Fawcett.
