  • Stomping Grounds:

    Salt Shaker, Utah
  • Bio:

    Born in the thriving metropolis of Ogden, Utah Jonny "A" Atencio is no stranger to the mountains.

    Once, in Idaho, he caught a wild steelhead with a piece of dental floss and a strip of bacon- He befriended the steelhead and then trained it to hunt down and retrieve smaller fish for his sustenance.

    He has been sighted in more than one VIP lounge, sprawled out on the couch, PBR in hand- even though they were only serving Belvedere and Cristal

    His training regime is extreme: some say, a bit too extreme, in fact, it is often referred to in all caps. EXTREME.

    Using only a can of Adobe sauce, some fresh garlic cloves, a pork roast and a book of matches, he made an award winning Barbacoa Pork that was on the Today show- Al Roaker really enjoyed it.

    As you can see, his beard is a mix between weak and not so good-

    He has worked for the Secret Service, the FBI, and Interpool at the same time, from a remote location- it got to be too crazy for him

    He has 4 pairs of Blundstone's, and rotates between them weekly. People think he has dozens of them.

    He is addicted to Green Chile.

    He is American.

Rating for this product: 5 3 days ago

I took this on a trip to Mexico, and this UV Water Purifier worked like a champ! This will be accompanying me on all trips where water sources are in question. I highly suggest getting on. Well worth the money. One charge of the batteries lasts for 20 gallons or so.

Best belt ever.

Arcade Standard Belt

Arcade Standard Belt

Rating for this product: 5 May 10, 2012

Well, maybe not ever- but I do love it. It really does make wearing a belt comfortable. I love the stretchy feel vs the constricting feeling you get from using a leather or web belt. Plus they are something different and cool that others do not have. GREAT for ski pants, fishing waiters, shorts- or when you are in a bind and want to strap a 6 pack of beer to your backpack.

Classic look, modern materials.

Tretorn Skymra Mid SL GTX Shoe - Men's

Rating for this product: 5 March 14, 2012

I just got these shoes, I absolutely love them. They have that classic old school Chuck Taylor vibe, but have a Gore Tex lining. What you can't see from the pictures is that the tongue is attached all the way up to about top lace hole- so if you are walking in water or snow- your feet will stay dry. I'll try to report back in a couple of months to see how they wear.

Smith Foley Sunglasses - Polarized

Rating for this product: 5 May 24, 2010

As you can see here, the Foley's and your average beanie can turn your ordinary Joe Blow into someone that looks to be somewhat important. These shades give you the "it" factor you have been looking for. You can't take the beat of the street with these shades on.

The V90 Max's fit medium to large faces very well, they are light weight, stylish and there are great lens options that are available. The ease of swapping out lenses also makes them that much more appealing. Hands down my go to riding shades.

Scott's Best goggle to date!

Scott Fix Goggle

Scott Fix Goggle

Rating for this product: 5 November 27, 2009

These goggles are super comfortable and stylish. I have had them since Jan 09, and they have performed exceptionally, no fogging whatsoever. If interested in getting other lens options, I believe your only option is to call 1-800-PRO-LENS. The lens option that are shown here, the Natural Light- are pretty much the ones I use daily.

Joystick Sauce Ski Pole

September 3, 2009

Depends on a couple of variables- jibbers typically run shorter poles, to give you a reference- I am 5'10" and ski with 48" (120cm), if i were a jibber, I'd probably run 44" (110cm) I'd suggest you get the 125cm...or 130's if you can find them...you can always cut em' down,,,you can't make em longer!

I was seriously reluctant to ski in a two buckle ski boot- but to my surprise, these boots have turned out to be the best boots I have ever owned. They also are one of the only boots that I have not had to have extensive work done to, I put in my footbeds, and I was good to go! Killer boot-period.

Black Diamond Bandit with Avalung Winter Pack - 690cu in

Rating for this product: 4 January 8, 2009

Work perfect with Backcountry Access Tour Shovel System, or most other shovels. Put your hydration pack in there, you have room for skins, a layer, gogs, gloves, and what other small essentials you'll need. Simple ski carrying system seems to work nicely, don't think it would work so hot with a snowboard. So far so good, i am stoked on its performance so far

My go-to goggle

Scott Alias Limited Edition Goggles

Scott Alias Limited Edition Goggles

Rating for this product: 5 December 8, 2008

The Alias goggle is what a goggle should be, simple styling, great fit and best of all the preform. Imagine that. To top it off, they do have some of the best graphic/treatment options, the Schmuck Taylor and the Pub Crawl are my fav's. The Chrome Amp lense is a great all around lense, that works great most of the time, the do have a low light lense, but is hard to get your hands on, I believe 1-800-PRO-LENS sells them.
