"Travis Parker" is a professional snowboarder. Taught by his inspiration Jack Zerba. Originally from Jonestown, Texas, his sponsors have included Capita Super, K2 Snowboards, DC Shoes/DC Boots, Airblaster, Union Bindings, Level, Lifetime, and Bluebird. In 2005, Parker started riding for Capita, having left longtime sponsor K2. At the end of the 2009 season, Parker quit most of his sponsors, reputedly to become a sushi chef, and dropped out of the snowboarding world. Ahead of the 2011 season, it was announced that Travis was once again riding for K2. Travis is known for his original riding style and approach to snowboarding, including vowing to ride switch for the entire 2009 season.

Parker had a pro-model board for several years while on K2, the Parka, and helped Capita develop the Unorthodox board, notable for having a cutaway at both nose and tail.

Once we got one stop, two stops, we started getting into it. Every time we stopped them on defense, I believe we got a basket.
