    Hey Everyone,
    Americas’ Most Wanted is doing a story on the Ben Bradley murder. He was a splitboarder that was found stabbed to death after he went missing for a few months, RIP. This was a few years ago; his murder is still unsolved. We made a replica split for AMW, and they did some filming at the factory. It will air this saturday on Fox. Here are some pix of his board. We made a few with the same top, and a few with the same bottom, but it was the only one with that top and bottom combo. Keep a look out for it and maybe we can help solve this!!!!

    Tex-he was hitchhiking between Colorado and Jackson. He was found dead outside of Rock Springs, Wyoming. Such a sad story. I hope they catch the sick person(s) responsible for this. Posi vibes to his friends and family.

    The board is still missing. If you ever see it, call and report to AMW or your local authorities.

    Hard to believe that this is still an unsolved case. Hopefully a snowboarder will find the clues to catch these low lifes.

    I watched the episode on the web the other night, I never knew Ben, but after watching the episode I recoginzed some of his friends. A couple of which followed my bootpack up teewinot last may, they ended up kicking the last 1500 feet and we all rode down together. Although I did not know Ben, I know he ran with a crew of badasses. I hope resolution comes for all his friends and family.

    Wow, how strange. My prayers to his family.

    This sure makes me think of past debates about carrying a pistol while going out in the backcountry. Its a touchy subject, but not one to be taken lightly.

    Keep in mind he wasn’t in the backcountry but hitchhiking. The gun debate will go on and on. I just don’t see how that is going to protect you, unless you pull it out the second you meet someone. Sure fire way to make a lot of friends, including police officers and jail cells. Ben probably had no idea he was going to be attacked that way.
