Ben is a man of mystery. He lives off the grid in the rugged backwoods of northern Quebec, and answers only to his dog Sasquatch. We haven’t heard from him in months, but when he does venture into the city to surface for a local event, his personality and style is never forgotten. Ben has been on the team since 2008 and has continued to influence downhill skateboarding with vibrancy and charisma.

Over the years, Emma has contributed so much more than just her skateboarding to Kebbek, and skateboarding as a whole. Her meandering lifestyle has been a point of inspiration for many. As her life is in constant flux with perpetual travel and constantly changing residence, she has inspired us to let go and allow gravity do its work, on and off the hill. Emma’s artwork has also been a contributing factor over the years. She had a hand in the 20^th anniversary series and we look forward to more collaboration with her artistic side.

See Emma's part in the Paris Trucks video, Skateboards and Mojo

We are proud to welcome Crafty to our pro team this season. He has been a trusted am rider for years, originating from the hometown of Kebbek, Montreal. He showed his commitment to skateboarding through his travels, videos and all around good vibes while skating. He likes going fast, but needs a deck with a kicktail, making the Top Mount 36 his deck of choice.

Isac has been our Swedish am for years, and we are honoured to support him as a new pro rider this season. He fell in love with the Rockin Rookie back in the day, which is why we have reissued the legacy deck for thhis pro model this season. We began to push the importance of top mount set ups with the release of this board in 2008. Inspired by the slalom skaters and their growing dominance at hills like Maryhill we put together a shortened wheel-base board that can hold its own at full speed yet be ready to dodge yappy Shitzus who jump out in front of you as you skate to the corner store for a box of rubbers. 

Jordan is not only an incredible transition skater, but a very creative person. We brought him on board this season as a collaborator for the dig deep deck because of his thorough knowledge of transition skate shapes and his creative passion and drive for all forms of expression.

If the world as we know it were to suddenly come to an end from an over population of sea monkeys, what would you do in your final hours?

Steal a submarine and hide in the ocean ! Sharks would become my new best friend.

If you were trapped on an island and could bring on one member from the kebbek team for survival, who would it be and why?

Definitively Ben Dub ! He knows all the surviving tricks since he build his own no electricity little house in the middle of nowhere, Gaspesia 

Favorite deck of all time?

Kebbek Switchback model of 2014 

Worst bail?

Landed on my back on one of the local road in Saint-Sauveur. I went to the pharmacy to buy supplies and they didn't make me pay since the road rash was pretty gnarly. Pretty much a world map of road rash !

Who have you looked up to in downhill skateboarding?

Amanda Powell and Marisa Nunez. I love their style !

Toronto Board Meeting after party. 

If you were trapped on an island and could bring on one member from the Kebbek team for survival, who would it be and why?

Homegirl Kalie Racine because she's full of good vibes. And I've eaten her cooking, she even makes mushrooms taste good! 

Finish this sentence; I jumped out of a window and landed safely in a pile of….

(uncrushable) puppies

Is science or art more essential to humanity?

Science

Favorite deck?

TM36. Slimmed down to fit my tiny feet. 

Worst bail?

Probably when I crashed at OSNS and hit a wall. I broke my face and got a gnarly concussion.   

Who have you looked up to in downhill skateboarding?

I always liked Elena Corrigal. Her tuck is impeccable and she always seemed like she was having fun. And Cam Brick's and Dexter Manning's soft long hairs.

Sabrina is one of our most competitive riders on the team. She sacrifices a lot to tour the world attending as many world cup events as possible. Ranked 4th in the world for the 2017 IDF race series, she is not to be messed with and if she is chasing you, better move out of the way. 

You will never see somebody fall this hard and get back up every time. 1 run in North Carolina and a lot of pain.

You might recognize Juergen from the feature documentary Lost in Havana, where he went to Cuba to donate 100 of his pro model completes to kids who need it. Juergen’s generosity and vibrant personality is what we loved about him well before we saw him skate. He has been a driving force in the European freeride scene with his involvement in Big Mountain Skate events, and we could not be happier to call him family. Be like Juergen and do something to spread some skateboard love.
