THE METHOD AWARDS
For months now our HQ has been abuzz with speculation about which riders would win the prestigious Method Awards. Votes have been tallied so here they are, the best in the business of shred (read: whose bribes of alcohol, drugs and promises of wanton sex we accepted). Besides the typical Rider and Video Part awards, we decided to also bestow glory on the riders who contributed to the multi-hued world of snowboarding in their own unique ways. Cue drum roll…
Male Rider of the Year : Gigi Rüf
Leaving your lifelong sponsor just before the season starts would be an enormous hurdle for most riders. Not Gigi Rüf though. Everyone's favorite Austrian blasted out two spine-tingling parts (Absinthe & Pirates) and bagged editorial coverage galore this winter, not to mention a plethora of ads. Plus he is getting his own movie courtesy of Volcom, a la Subjekt Haakonsen. He is an upstanding gentleman in every sense of the word and we have no doubt the accolades will keep rolling in for Gigi Smalls. Fuck yea, dude!
Female Rookie of the Year: Jess Kimura
A young Canuck from the backwaters of Canada came to our attention this year. This young lass is Jessica Kimura and she’s on on a one-way train to shred superstardom. Jess’s part in Peep Show (our favorite all-girls production of the year) blew our collective minds and confirmed to the world that she has, in fact, arrived.
The Lovechild of a Kubrick, Warhol and Michelangelo Three-way Award for Most Creative Riding: Scott Stevens
Let us for a moment entertain the belief that if men copulated with other men they could make babies. If Kubrick, Warhol and Michelangelo got into some kind of crazy bodily fluid-swapping fuck fest their baby would be a creative genius. That baby would be Scott Stevens. Okay, so the premise of this award is unbelievable and totally absurd. But so is Scotty's riding. If creativity was a country, Mr. Stevens would be its president.
