"Hailing from the East Coast, Cooper's love of the streets runs deep. It led him to co-found The Dustbox: a crew that channels snowboarding's original "fuck you, I'll do it myself" ethos, reworked with a distinctly modern edge. So when news broke that he'd parted ways with his previous board sponsor, our Whitelines group chat immediately lit up with one question: " Where's Cooper going next... surely it's Rome? It has to be Rome.""
"And sure enough, the move makes perfect sense. Rome Snowboards launched with the same DIY attitude and has spent the years since pushing product progression while keeping snowboarding front and centre. East Coast roots, independent spirit, and a commitment to putting snowboarding first - it's a natural fit. The timing couldn't be better, either. This winter's strongest street snowboarding came from Rome's SWARM and ATLAS 2 by - the latter opening with a ludicrously heavy part from Cooper himself."
Cooper Whittier is a leading figure in modern snowboarding and a driving force behind the renewed global obsession with street riding. He co-founded The Dustbox, a crew channeling snowboarding's original 'fuck you, I'll do it myself' ethos with a modern edge. He parted ways with his previous board sponsor and joined Rome Snowboards. Rome launched with a DIY attitude, pushes product progression, and keeps snowboarding central. Rome's recent releases SWARM and ATLAS 2 showcased strong street riding, with Cooper delivering a heavy part in ATLAS 2. His addition to Rome's global team signals more boundary-pushing street projects ahead.
