Adaptive Snowboard Reinvented: Every Third Thursday Raising The Bar
Вставка
- Опубліковано 19 вер 2012
- Dave Lee and the Signal Snowboards crew are back tackling a new hybrid snowboard project that's inspiring on many levels. This month's challenge is to merge Signal snowboards technology and Crankbrothers Mountain bike component technology to create a new next-level custom adaptive snowboard customized to get a new crew of shredders on the hill. The motivation for the build is personal-in 2000, good friend and pro snowboarder Tim Ostler was paralyzed from the chest down in a halfpipe snowboarding accident. Despite maintaining an athletic lifestyle, Tim hasn't been snowboarding since. Watch as the crew build one of the most rewarding boards to date and, after a few setbacks, succeed in getting Tim back out riding with his friends on Every Third Thursday. We encourage you to push this video forward and share it with everyone you know! How cool would it be if this ETT finds its way into production. So, hit play and let's all Raise The Bar and give some serious thought to the Next Level Adaptive Snowboard!

Tim ostler is one if the greatest riders from the 90's, and now you guys got him back on the powder! Seeing him smile like that really makes me feel good knowing great wonderful people are still helping great wonderful people who deserve it.you guys are an amazing inspiration to all!
This is my big brother! I was crying & smiling the hugest smile at the same time! I've never met such an awesome person. Ever.
This made me smile, i'm happy for this guy, glad to see he's back on the board, doing what he loves, life has no limits, and he just proved it.
Wow. So great to see him smile when he's shredding. Signal did a really great thing
So glad you enjoyed!
Thank you to Signal. I am not paralyzed, but it is great seeing a person that is, back on the, snow, doing what he loves, living his dream, and dreaming big.
Brought tears to my eyes.. Signal and Dave Lee are doing SO Amazing with ETT.
You guy's have big hearts.
the world of snowboarding really is a community where snowboarders come together to do cool things like this! this was trly inspiring to see.
Absolutely amazing. To see that guys face when he's back on snow is a real reminder theres always happiness you just need to find it.
brought tears to my eyes. Thanks guys. you're doing amazing things that will come to broaden the possibilities of humanity through our "adaptive" explorations in technology.
This is the most selfless thing someone could do for someone in his situation. That system is badass, no two ways about it. Using your time, your money, your shop to do this utilizing resources not used for snowboarding to get someone who is disabled back on the hill again. That's what its all about man, good job and keep it up.
WHAT a video, I'm speechless right now, so emotional! This is what comes out when passion for a sport and friendship mix together, great work guys! Greetings from Chile
I'm a 59 yr old adaptive sports and came across this fantastic, provocative vid of people coming together to push the envelope. You guys had me wiping my eyes at the end. Bravo!
Oh my, my face is cramped from GRINNING. This is how to be really smart about how to be really nice, when your analytic sense and investigative fervor meet up with innovation, physics, and intellect all while being driven by Grace and the deep desire to extend oneself to nurture another's spirit. Amen.
I rode with Tim once before the accident. We talked about my planter warts we had at the time on our feet, the fresh snow, and just life. He is a real man and the fact he is still rocking on snow is awesome! Timmy if you're ever reading this, dude...see you up at Brighton or the Bird this season!
French snowboarder for more that 25 years, we've got 2 brain injured girls at home, we were so happy to discovered your video by Yobeat. Thanks for your happiness to make that project possible, your great guys... One more time, we can see that people in Snowboard use fun for good things. Thanks folks

That's one of the best things I've ever seen! My brother in-law has been paralyzed from the waist down since the early 80's from a hunting accident (arrow to the back). Luckily he was able to go on years later to enjoy motocross in a different form, jet ski racing. It really means a lot to see you come up with a way for your buddy to enjoy one of his passions again.
they need to produce these in masses, it would make so many people happy
what you guys did for tim is unbelievable, i cant say i know how you feel tim but its really cool to see you happy while doing something you love after many years..keep up the awesome attitude
this is so great like now the disabled people can take park in snowboarding the amount disabled people have been able todo over the decades is something amazing i hope the make more
Makes me thankful for all the injuries I have had over the years that could have been way worse. Props to these guys!
i don't understand how to dislike this awesome video? .. and guys good job
So amazing! Timmy, you deserve this! Great work by everyone involved. I get emotional everytime I watch it! "No failures, just bumps in the road!"
801's ROOTS & CULTURE PERSONIFIED...so glad I didn't miss this...thanks, great fun!
The heart these guys have is tremendous, the best ETT by far
This is just absolutely amazing. I teared up watching this and I am so glad people like you guys are in the industry to do things like this and change a mans life>
There’s such a need for this!!! Please make these mainstream!
The way these guys approach this task like, it a matter of fact and not a chore, is what makes them good enough for God.
We are so pumped on this video! Huge thank you to Signal Snowboards, Tim Ostler, and friends. Every Third Thursday!!
we need more people like you, its the best thing you can do... make a dream become true
wow u guys are amazing! just doing that for him makes me cry......I WAS SO HAPPY!!!
I'm happy that the guy got to snowboard again
This is such a sick idea. and the look on tims face you could just tell it was like he was back to what he loved, all be it in a new way.
WOW!! with some work this could become a real thing!
You guys who made this happen, Dave Lee, Signal Snowboards et al... You guys are so very awesome. Complete selfless giving of your talents for the pure joy of spreading awesome sauce covered stoke. You made that guy's year.
Totally man. Well said.
Tim Ostler is an amazing person and I want to thank you - Signal Snowboards for getting him on the snow!
I love seeing people with such great hearts! Bless signal snowboards...you no what the next snowboard I buy will be from them!!
That was tight. I was injured in 2012 and I miss it so much. I'd love an opportunity like that. Keep advancing the design!
This is probably my favourite ETT of all time.
Sharing this on Facebook. It must've been so hard for Tim to give up riding for the rest of his life and now you guys come along and make him a board so that he can back out to the mountains and shred again. Snowboarding has a strong sense of community and that's what inspires things like this. Good job guys!
This is by far my favorite EveryThirdThursday episode yet...You guys are rad , this one is full of heart...
You guys over did yourselves on this one! These are the things that show there is hope for humanity. You guys are awesome. Respect
It's overwhelming to see all the support and comments on this one!! Thank you to everyone who has watched, watching again, and sharing with your friends! Even greater thanks to Signal Snowboards and Tim Ostler for making it happen!
Snowboarding is the most beautiful thing mankind will ever accomplish

Wow... that was probably my fav ETT. Really moving.
Made me cry
Same but in a good way
I've seen every ETT. This has to be the most touching and best ETT so far,
Well done guys.
It´s nice to see some ideas and initiatives like that ! Thumbs Up Guys ! Faith in Humanity Restored !
The world needs more Dave Lee's
This video literally gave me chills. Its so awesome to see someone being able to get what they love. Whatever it takes. Keep shredding.
Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming positive support and comments on this one! Please keep it rolling and share this with your friends and family!
I envy these people so much. They are so creative and so patient. And passionate.
Literally you guys are some of the best humans on the planet! It takes a huge heart to do what you did!
You guys do great things. This is my favorite snowboard that you have built, because it really helped, bonded, and touched people. Thank you for what you guys do!
this is honestly the coolest build yet
Thank you Signal Snowboards for making it happen! Share this piece with your friends!
That's really epic... Nice of his friends to do that for him. I'd be lucky to have them as my own.
This is amazing! Really inspiring and a big bowl of aloha to the guys at Signal for getting a homie back sliding on the snow!!
So good to see Tim on a snowboard again, inspiring video.
I cried in tears of happiness for this guy
I had to watch twice Cos I was crying the first time, in a word, beautiful!
I've watched a lot of episodes of ETT an this one was by far the best...got me right in the feels. Its nice to see all the fun and out-there designs but something that can change a person's quality of life is priceless. Good job!
big ups dave and the rest of the crew at signal, you guys ROCK! welcome back, tim!
so amazing, keep up the amazing work Signal! This is the best ETT yet
Props to these guys! I love what they did for their friend so touching
From one snowboarder to another thank you guys for making this possible for Tim ostler to ride again so touching!
Thank you, guys, for doing this and persevering thru it all...deeply touched and majorly STOKED!
This is so awesome! You're a true friend for doing that for him!
I am proud to say I am on the verge of crying.
You guys are so awesome. I have so much respect for you guys helping him get on the snow again
thanks for doing this for this guy, i could not imagine being handicapped. kind of makes my problems feel smaller so thanks twice!
this will make many paralyzed snowboarders cheer for excitement... amazing idea
Fantastic work! Adaptation is giving so many people new lease on life.
I get chills every time I watch this
Yeah Timmy. So stoaked for you. Thanks for being an inspiration man.
Once again ETT has made a wonferfully uplifting video. Thanks again!
I think I'll buy a signal as my next board because of this.. you guys did a breast cancer one too but this right here is the coolest thing I've ever seen in snowboarding. ever. period.
This is awesome, i know exactly what its like being paralyzed from doing what you love and not being able to do it again. i need something like this done to an mx bike so i can do what i love again too.
Thankyou for expanding peoples attention, a truly great video thanks to everyone for putting in the effort to create something breathtaking!
Best episode of Every Third Thursday.
You can see the chairlift off to the left at 3:50. This must have been really late in the season; I spent a few summers on Hood, '95 and '96 and they were some pretty great days. This video makes me remember those days fondly as well as feel inspired by the amazing thing that Signal did for Ostler.
This is simply amizing! Thats what humanity means!
I still can't stop smiling.
***** I love what you guys are doing... Taking a skill you know so well and doing good with it... The KAB episode and especially this episode, giving Tim the ability to do what he loves again... Its not all about just selling boards and making money. You're a true inspiration to people by show that their are no limits, unless you stop dreaming. Awesome job guys, keep it up!
Subscribing is the last thing i can do after seeing people that are so good for others! Much Love N.
i would love to see old disabled boarders do this and i agree with him all the way :)
AMAZING job guys ,that makes my heart happy
Dave Lee does it again! I just purchased a signal, happy to support great people and US made products. I work and ride at Sunday River, I love seeing, riding and chatting with all the dudes from Maine adaptive. Some of those guys really rip it up. Totally awesome. As for a few of the comments below. Snowboarders at least East Coast snowboarders have nothing against skiers until we get hate for riding a single plank. Those tend to be older arrogant skiers. Ah I love riding, if you ski, great, see you on the hill. Just enjoy whatever it is you do. And the dude making comments on crank brothers, really you think this is the place for that? Grow some already.
Glad to know there's still people in the world that care and glad to live and Oregon but I missed this I wish i could have known I would have went up to see him only 2 hours away
This is absolutely amazing. i can only imagine if my passion was taken away from me like that. it must be overwhelming to get it back again.
This might be one of the greatest things ever to happen ever
Nice job guys! So stoked to see this!! Yeah Tim Ostler!!!!!!!!!!!
you guys are seriously one of the best companies in snowboarding
this is what snowboarding is, this still makes my eyes fill with water xD awesom footage, awesom friends. ride hard ride forever !
Best Board ever made guys !!! You kids have a big heart ! Kudos :)
So sad that this guy was not able to fulfil his passion, glad he got to go back on the board again!
soo sick... that guy was hyped when the trunk was opened....
That seat looks really uncomfortable... but its not like he would be able to tell...
Actually though, this is an incredible story and concept, I can't imagine not snowboarding for 12 years much less being paralyzed for that long. Congrats to you, Tim Ostler, for being the most rad snowboarder I've ever seen
