Pat Moore is someone you can all ways count on. I spent the whole season shooting with Pat. In that time I got to see a side of him that many people don’t get to see. Pat is all ways willing to lend a hand or help anyone out at any time. He’s actually one of the nicest guys in snowboarding. He gives 100 % every waking moment. Let’s just say he is a very passionate person. Check him out in the Forum movie “Forum or Against ‘Em” and you will see what I mean.
Oh yeah, he is really good at snowboarding too.

“The things that really bother me about my job are also the things I love. I believe that I made the decision to do this with my life subconsciously. The things that I have seen and been a part of have changed my life forever. The snowboard community is the most dysfunctional group of people in the world. We’re anything but normal. That is why we’re all working together. Where else can you be free to express yourself in any way and be accepted? If you don’t fit in to society and you’re not considered a normal person, then come join us. We will welcome anyone who doesn’t want to be put into a cookie-cutter mold. Normal will never measure up to being extraordinary. That is what we are.”
