32- One Hit After Another -The Keir Dillon Interview
By Trevor Andrew
From early days on the East Coast to the shirtless McTwist seen ‘round the world, Keir Dillon never appeared in a bad photo or put out a soggy video part. It should come as no surprise that Keir meshed so well with another arbiter of proper aesthetic, Trevor Andrew, during the mainstay of their careers. Here, two old friends connect to reflect on the then-and-now of life, society, the struggle, and snowboarding.
