When a person enters the room for the first time, Andy Hetzel
always stands up to greet them with a handshake. When there’s
one beer left in his fridge, Andy will first offer it to his
friend. He does the same with the last of the tobacco, too. If
you’re stuck somewhere late at night and need a ride or bail
posted, you can count on Hetz. Chivalry is a rare quality in
people these days.  Andy is a man who loves Circe Wallace, his
friends, the NBA, snowboarding, surfing, skateboarding,
snowmobiling, barbecuing, home improvements, motocross, and
smut. In that order.  There’s nobody better at riding steeps
switch than Hetz. If you don’t believe me, you should watch
Andy’s parts in any of the Standard Film’s TB movies. Hetz has
won mogul championships, freestyle/freeride championships, and
numerous pipe contests. He jumped a train, and he’s jumped
naked.  Basically, Andy rips. And even though I have better
times than him at the Banked Slalom, I admire him as a
snowboarder and a man.–David Sypniewski
