#VIRGILWASHERE
"Through snowboarding I was blessed to build a friendship with the superpower Virgil Abloh. He and I share the same passion for snowboarding and growing the culture, I’m very excited to share this special project he and I put together before his passing. RIDE Snowboards has given us an opportunity to create something special through the release of this limited edition Algorythm. This board is extremely limited and is sure to become a collector’s item. Proceeds from this board are being donated to two organizations whose mission align with Virgil and my vision. Proceeds are going to @hoodstowoods, a mentoring nonprofit in Brooklyn introducing teens to the outdoors through snowboarding, as well as Virgil’s Postmodern Scholarship Fund.”
