Dutch Snowboard Museum

2000/2001 Burton Jim Rippey Pro Model.

🏂 Background & Significance

The Rider: Jim Rippey was one of the absolute pioneers of freestyle and backcountry snowboarding in the 1990s and early 2000s. He was famous for stomping massive cliffs and making history by landing the first-ever backflip on a snowmobile.

The Graphic: This specific edition features the highly recognizable "City Skyline" graphic, which depicts a futuristic, stylized urban cityscape at sunset, bordered by a vibrant red base and top-sheet wrap.
Some enthusiasts call the board "Fall guy" because of the falling person on the back and basejumper on the topsheet.

Collector Status: Because this model comes from the golden era of pro-model snowboards, it has transitioned from a piece of active mountain gear into a highly sought-after collector's item. Pristine or well-preserved versions of this board are frequently bought and sold by vintage snowboard enthusiasts to be displayed as wall art.
