As any dedicated snowboarder will tell you, the song from a favourite rider’s video part makes a lasting impression, sometimes even more so than the turns or airtime that were logged.

Working together with Napster, now a legit, global music streaming service, RIDE Snowboards is pleased to offer up even more rider music to its followers. Curated by some of the best riders in the game, this new partnership allows top RIDE pros to put their favourite music tracks in the hands of their biggest fans. Each RIDE Pro will be featured for a two-week span, with a dedicated splash page, bio and handpicked playlist of favourite tracks on Napster.com and the Napster mobile app, available on iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Starting today, the RIDE-Napster partnership will take you inside the library of Hana Beaman, known for her video parts with Vans, Transworld Snowboarding and the Too Hard crew.

Every two weeks, RIDE will introduce a new team rider’s playlist, indulging followers with the personal soundtracks of Jake Blauvelt, Dillon Ojo, Danimals and Jake Welch. In addition to featured playlists, RIDE and Napster will also host a monthly photo contest, making available select gear throughout the course of the season including a custom designed RIDE x Napster board with graphics by Seattle-based artist Robin Bankz. Riders can follow @ridesnowboards and @napster on Instagram and Facebook for instructions on submitting entries. RIDE followers can enjoy a free trial of Napster for 30 days, featuring unlimited streaming of millions of songs, radio stations and curated playlists.
