INTERVIEW

Why is snowboarding so much fun to you?

My snowboard is in fact the extension of my feet…! I am able to go where I want and this feeling of freedom is what makes me love this sport so much. I love to wake up in the morning under a meter of snow… when everyone is snow shovelling outside, I rush to my car so that I can go and make the first traces on the fresh snow.

Who has had the most influence on your snowboarding career and why?

At the beginning, I was regularly snowboarding with friends from Quebec City who themselves were very talented and totally in tune with the latest trends in the sport. Each weekend I was with the “Morin” riding and trying to excel.

What is the most memorable moment you had in your career?

Without any doubt, the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin when I won the bronze. As well as, the end of the season when I won the Crystal Globe.

Did you win any awards? If yes, which ones?

Athlete of the Year at the international level in 2007.

How would you describe your style of snowboarding?

Most people tell me that snowboarding seems easy when they watch me… my style is fluid and relaxed!

Who’s your snowboarding hero/favourite snowboarder?

Shaun White
