Biography of snowboarders

Everything he has done over the past twelve years has determined the future of snowboarding. Many achievements simply cannot be ignored. We turn to the list of the merits of Travis right now. Four X-Games medals, the first dub-root at competitions, the first dable at the CEDS GEP, a prize place on each 6-star international TTR snowboarding tour, two autobiographical films that have a radically changed our eyes for snowboarding, participation in the ABSINTHA project, the appearance in the movie Deeper, where is his performance where his performance all the others overshadowed, as well as awards and awards of various publications: “Snowboarders 'Choice”, “Readers' Choice”, National Geographic Awards Award.

Travis Rice convincingly proved that he is the best snowboarder not only in his generation, but also throughout the history of this sport, starting with a stunning debut Backside Rodeo on a foot skippark in the year, and ending with intelligence and subsequent conquest of giant, with fifty -degree slopes Pimbir with nuts of the mountains of the mountains Todrillo for the filming of the film "Art of flight" Art of Flight.

Most snowboarders are slender, with a thin torso and strong legs, which supposedly allows you to stay on the board tightly. They can be compared with hybrid cars. Travis, on the contrary, is more likely to look like an American oil car, a roaring doj Charker, full of hidden energy, like a bumblebee, if you connect a subwoofer to it. The tense moments of waiting ...

And now he rushes into battle, now all his power is visible. Pure power. It seems that we hear the roar of the motor, we feel the suspension stress when he puts his foot on the board and rolls like obsessed. It seems that the laws of physics are not powerful above him, he is so dexter, but everyone knows that he is quite neat and accurate to moderate his strength.

His possession of the board, orientation in space and a sense of balance are close to the ideal, and this is taking into account the level of risk to which he exposes himself. In my opinion, the most unique feature of Travis does not apply to physical form, but to the properties of its psyche. To ride like Travis, sometimes you need to make decisions in situations that threaten life.

It is impossible to do without all the above physical data, but Travis power is fueled by a huge faith in itself. For many, this faith will appear externally in the form of arrogance or selfishness. But Travis has the mind and tact to realize his strengths and, without false modesty, hiding these features in public and it is easier to be. At least, he is able to remain a simple guy in this world of helicopters, dizzying descents, beautiful catamarans in the Caribbean, endless premiere parties and back controls of tracks Jackson Hole.

In addition, next to him is no less strong and independent lady. Therefore, in it, Travis ended up in the same league with Shone White. But, in fact, in the world to find two more different people. The last time I interviewed Travis, he did not sleep the night, his face was decorated with a bruise, and his lip was broken. It is clear that he did not want to act on camera, but his sense of duty eventually prevailed over embarrassment.

Despite the sleepless night before, he gave a large, professional interview. In the end, I asked him about what distinguishes him from Sean, and he gave the best of the possible answers: "Sean wants to be a rock star, and I just want to grow a beard and come off in nature." Ura Travis to the district!
