Freeride World Champion Xavier De Le Rue enters intense 2010

  • 15 years ago
Xavier De Le Rue entered the legend of snowboarding after becoming Freeride World Champion in 2008 and 2009.
We went to meet up with this laidback, easy going character in his home near Verbier, Switzerland. Xavier is planning to have the craziest season you can think of in 2010, defending his title on the FWT, seeking a Gold medal at the Vancouver Olympics in Boardercross, and then pursuing major filming projects. Yet when asked about it, it's all about the love of the ride and the friends met along the way. Weither on top of the Bec des Rosses or in the starting gate of the Olympics, this man seems to know no pressure!
