 Picking Nate Holland out of a crowd is fairly easy. Just look for the guy who’s so amped from owning the boarder cross gold at the X Games three years in a row it’s contagious.Write Comment (0 Comments) |

 Imagine racing down a steep, tight, winding course filled with jumps, rollers, berms and tabletops at Squaw Valley Ski Resort. Now imagine there are three other skiers charging with you in a mass start, elbow-to-elbow battle, and the object is to cross the finish line first. Such is the life of skiercross athlete Anik Demers Wild.Write Comment (0 Comments) |
