Most people think that pro snowboarders are on vacation all summer long, but snowboarding is not seasonal work. To prove it here is a run down of what JP Walker has been up to for the past couple of months.

In late June JP headed to Canada for a “Send It With” Session at Camp of Champions in Whistler. JP was on hand to ride the park and show kids a thing or two about doing 270s to switch front boards.

Hanging with a Super Grom at COC

JP might have been working the rail garden but he’s the one that got worked while playing paintball during one after camp session. Bruises, bleeding knuckles and a paint smeared face –is that how kids treat their favorite pros these days?

Paintball Injury

The Don loves to golf so it’s fitting that the second after camp activity he joined in on was a trip to the driving range. The kids were stoked as JP cruised around giving them pointers  and then crushed a few balls himself.

Grip Expertise

After COC JP practically headed straight to New York City for the 32 Outerwear Launch. When JP wasn’t showing off the new outerwear line he was busy with other NYC activities like a stroll through Central Park, a Complex Magazine shoot complete with a visit to 50 Cents’ office and a visit to the Yankees’ new stadium to catch a game.

Talkin' Boots

The 32 Outerwear Launch party got shut down by the NYPD right before the sneak peek of JP’s part in the upcoming Stepchild/Thirtytwo video rolled. Now everyone’s asking if the whole thing is switch like it’s rumored to be. But JP’s not talking –fans are going to have to wait until it premiers to find out.

Shutting down the streets of NYC

From NYC JP headed to Mount Hood. JP was at High Cascade Snowboard Camp for his Signature Session with his bro Jeremy Jones. JP and Jeremy hosted a ‘Front Board Off’ contest. The winner who front boarded better than the rest of the field for a total of 5 rounds scored some free stuff from the guys’ sponsors and a couple of cookies right out of JP’s lunch bag.

What’s next for JP? Maybe a surf trip is in the cards after a long summer (yes summer) of shred and travel.
