The 2000/2001 Burton Jim Rippey "Knight" (often referred to by collectors as the Rippey Warrior) is an iconic piece of 1990s/2000 snowboarding history. It is the longest, wide-body variant from Burton's premier signature line dedicated to big-mountain freestyle legend Jim Rippey.
The complete background behind the development, technology, and legacy of this specific board involves a few key details:
1. The Debut of Jim Rippey's Signature Line
Released for the 2000/2001 winter season, the "Knight" belongs to the very first signature pro-model line Burton ever built for Jim Rippey. Rippey was a massive star in early 90s snowboard cinema (such as the Standard Films TB series), known for stepping up the game of freestyle tricks by taking them into raw backcountry terrain. This launch began a legendary run where Rippey would have seven consecutive pro models with Burton, heavily shaping the brand's freestyle image.
2. Design Identity: The Frazetta Connection
The visual design on this model captures the counter-culture aesthetic of 90s/2000 snowboarding, drawing heavily from pulp fantasy and heavy metal album art styles:
The Inspiration: The illustration of the medieval warrior charging forward on a dark warhorse beneath a crescent moon heavily mimics the signature styles of fantasy oil painters like Frank Frazetta

My wife’s first real snowboard. She loved the graphics! (She had the blue metallic top sheet) Sold it at some point as we moved overseas, but still hurts every time I see one.

![🌼 Marriage itself is a life risk for women. But besides that, childbirth is an undeniable life risk for women. Women go through it multiple times. Plus living with your abuser and being financially dependent on your abuser and an entire system that works against you to keep you dependent & authority less.
👉 But no one thought someone should fast for a woman’s long life? May be the one who benefits the most from your life? But never.
Because Women made it Women REPLACEABLE.
Men made women replaceable.
Society made women replaceable.
And WE HAVE TO CHANGE THAT GIRLS…
