Recently, Ride Snowboards released the latest of their
limited edition artist series DH2's, the DH2.5.
We have to admit, we didn't recognize the artist at first, but loved the board graphic and after reading over the artists bio, definitely recognized where his work had been seen. So when it came time to display the boards, we naturally asked "Hey guys, any of you heard of an artist called Coop?"
Dillon: "ummm, yeah, I love Coop's work!"
Board displayer: "You heard of him?"
Dillon: "Yea I've heard of him." (At which time he turns around, bends over and tugs at his pants which is never really a good sign)

Turns out, Dillon not only has heard of Coop's work, but liked it so much that he got a tattoo of one of his works a while ago. Is Ride copying Dillon's style with the DH2.5? Probably not, but a cool coincidence nonetheless!


When did you get the tattoo?
Dillon: About 5 years ago. Starting following Coop's work a few years before that.
Why did you get it?
Dillon: So the devil can watch my back!
And what about the recent Guardian angel of snowboarding?

Dillon: Just need him to look after me on the snow...like get me out of the woods when I go in too deep.
