The FTB Crew

Camp Counselor

 

Willie Beggs
Willie Beggs is the creator of FTB and embodies everything that it represents to its supporters. Willie has spent the last 11 years chasing the snow and the surf around the globe, more recently spending a lot of time right here in New Zealand finding the best his native home has to offer and bringing it to his FTB customers.

Hopelessly in love with snowboarding, every camp and tour Willie runs
is designed to bring out the inner stock in all FTB customers. From a
14 year old grommet chasing a career in the sport of snowboarding to a kid just seeing real snow for the first time, Willie is there leading the way.

Perhaps Willie is just a 30 year old guy who became to busy with today’s fast paced life and now only has time for quality not quantity time on the snow,
stepping out of a chopper for a FTB crews first "hellie" run or guiding them to the big hidden snow of the Arthur’s pass fields.

Willie Beggs has created FTB to show you this!

Nick Brown

What can I say about Dr. Brown? Without a doubt the best New Zealand Snowboarder right here, right now. With countless coverage in Manual magazine and two covers of NZ Snowboard Mag. This deep south Dero can be seen showing everyone how to do it in the Grizzley Gulch in Utah, dropping a massive cliff at Jackson Hole, killing the jump line at Snowpark or doing a spring photo shoot at Turoa for RPM. Nick Brown will stomp anything you ask him to and is more than happy to help you get there too.

Leroy Christensen

Hailing from Turoa this new kid on the block is now showing everyone the freshest tricks spending the off season in some of the hottest spots in the states like getting an invite to shred at the DC Mountain lab and building with the deros in the Utah Pow. Lerizzle brings the latest sh** right to you.

Rob Mitchel

Holy shit! Rob Mitchel is one mad little man. The guy absolutely slays it on the snowboard, skateboard and apparently he can even hang-ten on the surfboard. Another wonder boy from Mt Manganui, spending his winters in Queenstown and Salt Lake City. Truly a gifted all-rounder at the top of his game, you'll see Rob with the closing part in the dero's latest vid 'Bottomless Pockets' or all over the Manual and NZ Snowboarder magazines. Rob doesn't care much about the scene, he doesn't need to, he is what the scene talks about! This PC Dero will blow your mind.

Roland Morley-Brown

This is one truly gifted snowboarder, right from day zip Roland was showing everyone that he had the skills to go all the way. He spent three full years in Europe based out of Innsbruck, Austria, killing the local contest scene and having numerous parts in some European video productions. Now back home in New Zealand you’ll find Rolsey slaying everything up at Snowpark and blowing everybody’s minds with his mad stomp while filming with the Dero’s. Always down for a laugh and keen to help, Roland will definitely get a smile on your dial.
