Hello my name is…
Bjorn Leines.

Aka…
BJ.

I was raised in…
Big Lake, Minnesota and S.L.C., Utah.
The reason that you’re reading about me is…
I work for myself, I guess. A pro snowboarder for ROME SDS, Volcom, Oakley and Celtek. Also co-founded Celtek snowboarding gloves and do various duties such as marketing management.

Right now I’m working on…
Getting ready for the snow season. Reading a lot.

But I’d rather be…
Riding a snowboard or skateboard.

The worst job I ever had was…
Working as a welder’s helper on the pipeline.

The first thing I do in the morning is…
Make coffee. Then drink two cups. Slam some Mona Vie after that.
The last thing I do at night is…
Say my prayers.
My mama always said…
You can be anything you put your heart and mind into.
I love it when people…
Are grateful for what they have.
I can’t stand when people…
Complain, talk shit, and think inside the box.

The most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen is…
My lady in her wedding gown!

The ugliest thing I’ve ever seen is…
Death. A close friend died from a drug overdose.

I am what I ride, which is…
Dirtbikes, skateboards, snowboards, old Jeeps, vintage cars, RVs!
If you ever see me walking down the street…
Slap a high five and introduce yourself.
My most notable run-in with the law was…
Spending a night in jail in Texas. Underage and out of control.
If I had to say sorry it would be because…
I broke the neighbor’s tool that I borrowed.
I lose control when…
People believe what they see on TV, i.e. CNN the most trusted news on TV. Yeah right.

My beverage of choice is…
Mona Vie. It’s made with acai berry from the Amazon rainforest. It’s like eating vegetables in a bottle.

The last time I swore I’d never drink was after a night of…
Hanging with the Wildcats. They’re Canadian bad-asses. I had to quit the Cats.

Future projects and plans include…
To shred until I’m old and unable, raise my boys, and grow our business.

And before I leave I’d like to give a shout out to…
ROME SDS, Wooly at Volcom, and The Mule at Celtek. And Jesus!
