A grubby eight year old with a raspy voice at the Girdwood Alaska skatepark mouths off one too many times and ends up duct taped to the flag pole. That’s Sammy Luebke. Fast forward fifteen years and Sammy has already had an entire professional snowboard career that has spanned park spins to peak spines and everything in between. With natural grace and a lifetime of snow experience Sammy heads in to his early twenties as a new father and total mountain ripper competing in the World Freeride tour and taking his TRS from The Downtown Throwdown to Donner Pass. Still mouthing off.
