Jake Price: Filmer, blogger, and Donny Stevens #1 fan (that's Donny to the right. He's famous.)
Jake Price has led an interesting career path. From an up-coming Salem-Oregon am with a TWS checkout and some shots in a Whitey movie, "Minibike" as his friends and mentors called him, jumped straight into shred movie production, working on Robot Food's seminal "Afterlame" film. After several full-length projects, including "Ir77" and "In Short," Price is heading up the shred department at Volcom TV, masterminding webisodes like Stoneyour.tv and Blizzard Bizarre.
When he's not waist-deep in powder with Jaime Lynn and other Volcom heads, he's making fun of it all on what we have to call BAF.com -- a little blog project that has somehow spiraled into a nexus of evil shred influence. Minibike is about to set down his duffel bag for a few months in NYC, so ESPN sat him down to talk turkey about filming, blogging, and the true meaning of "Shantics."
