Chamberlain ditches DC

Canadian pro snowboarer Simon Chamberlain has returned to his original boot sponsor of ThirtyTwo after dropping his ties with DC. He'll also be hooked up with 32's shoe company etnies.

Simon first made his international presence felt when featured in 2003's Nixon Jib Fest. Probably his most notable moment came in the 2005 video production of the DC Mountain Lab, cementing his title as a DC team member.

However, the "Canadian young buck" - who also rides for his own companies Stepchild Snowboards and Nomis clothing - has now got back to his roots to again ride for ThirtyTwo.

“I am stoked to have Simon back on the team because he is always so positive and motivated,” said Eddie Lee, etnies/ThirtyTwo team manager. “The first day that Simon joined the team last week we met at the Los Angeles International Airport and headed out to New Zealand to ride with Wille Yli-Louma and Markku Koski. While we were there he was amped to ride everything from rails, to quarter pipes and backcountry cliff drops regardless of the conditions.”
