The Movement Snowboards

The Movement Snowboards was a creative, art driven snowboarding company existing from 1994 to 1998. A joint project founded by Matt Donahue, Mark Hibdon, Chris Brunkhart, Dan Peterka and The Mildens, The Movement was arguably the most artistic brand of the mid-late 1990's with an innovative focus on independent art, experimental music, fine-art photography and engaging design aesthetic in advertising and lifestyle. While independently headquartered in Tustin, California and Portland, Oregon, snowboards and equipment were manufactured by Solid Mfg. (USA) (1994-95), Elan Snowboards (Austria) (1995-97) and Mervin Manufacturing (USA) (1997-98). Artists/Collaborators: Matt Donahue, Mark Hibdon, Chris Brunkhart, Dan Peterka, Scott Milden, Gibran Evans, Rudy Fahel, Neil Rankin, Andy Shotts, Kirby Phelps, Casey Savage, Travis Wood, Mike Swanda, Jeremy Huff, Seth Montfort, Jeff Krueger, Jason Carrougher, Jamie Heinrich, Alex Bacon, Mike Estes, Jason Paulson, Marty Sheppard, Todd Taylor, Gheena, Mike Parillo, Jamie Lynn, Kris Markovich, Ron Rico, Mike Cronk, Addison Elliot, Josh Umrick, Fasil Debeb, Justin Allison, Mia Pringle, Travis Johns, Nicolas Vaudroz, Randy Walker. The legacy of The Movement includes fond memories, vintage snowboard collections and the LP/catalog "Freeform: The Collective Sounds of The Movement" (1995) and CD/catalog "The Movement" (1997). Both albums were released in conjunction with annual catalog media and distributed primarily at SnowSports Industries America (SIA) events. Along with inspired imagery, artwork and product lineup, these albums documented The Movement team's essence, passion, chemistry, idealism and artistic vision through experimental/art-punk sound expressions and photographic compositions.
