About this listen

Johnny O'Connor is a local legend that found his love of skating and snowboarding at the age of 7. Through his life, he has pursued the dream of becoming a professional snowboarder. Through the years he was featured in many movies with some of the biggest names in the industry. After several years he had to make a tough life decision that led him back to his hometown of Windham, NY, but his love for skating and snowboarding never left him. Over the years he has worked with the SHRED foundation and Adaptive Sports Foundation to spread his enjoyment of being on a board. Now he has started his own foundation called The On Board Initiative. A passion project that he has been wanting to do for years to show people what it feels like to be on a board. Johnny talks about breaking the barrier to entry for those who have never tried it before but want to learn, whether it is skating or snowboarding. Doesn't matter your age, Johnny just wants you to feel what he feels for the sports.
