We’d like to honor the life of Luke “The Dingo” Trembath, a presence so big that it stretched far beyond the boundaries of snowboarding. He has passed away, leaving behind an indelible mark on both riding culture and the people who knew him.

Born on January 9, 1986, in Mt. Martha, Australia, he set his sights on snowboarding early. By age 15, he moved to the United States alone to chase that passion, competing and traveling as an aspiring professional rider representing Jeenyus, Oakley, Neff and Grenade. But while his skills on a board gave him some notoriety, his greatest impact came when he stepped off it.

What started with a megaphone and Dingo’s knack for getting crowds hyped quickly became something much bigger. By the early 2000s, he had undeniably become the voice of snowboarding. He announced Olympic Grand Prix Qualifiers, The World Quarterpipe Championship, the U.S. Open, and Air & Style competitions. 

He was snowboarding’s original hype man—a fixture at Grenade Gloves, the face of the Grenade Games, and the co-pilot of The Danny and The Dingo Show, likely the most impactful snowboard TV series of all time. Beyond snowboarding, he was a regular on The Jason Ellis Show—the second highest-rated program on Sirius satellite radio—and the founder of Find Your Grind, a foundation dedicated to helping young people carve their own paths.

No matter the event or situation, Dingo brought enthusiastic brevity to every interaction—whether one-on-one or en masse. We send our deepest condolences to those who knew him, loved him, and were moved by him—which, truthfully, was so many.
