Check out TJ's new winter project.

"Over the years I’ve tried working with film companies and always just ended up doing my own thing, sponsors paying money so I can simply submit footage to a film company. Since early last season I was thinking about doing a project of my own, and that’s exactly what I’m going to do. This season I will be making a series of short films to be released on the Internet for free, through my site (tjschneider.com). The basic guide line for the videos is “what its like to really be a professional snowboarder.” A how to in a sense. With everything from what it’s like to film and shoot photos, travel the world, enter contests... to how I and others got their start, what sponsors are looking for, how you can increase your own chances of being a professional, aside from just being the best shredder in your little town. The goal of the videos is to get on a more personal level with every kid out there that snowboards help them and share more experiences with them. I’ve never made anything like this, so it’s going to very diy, but I know that as the season progresses the videos will only get better and better. So … yeah that’s pretty much the idea, I know that it will grow and evolve through the season. "
