“If you dream to become a professional snowboarder, then your future starts from World Rookie Tour” and some of current pro snowboarders know it very well. This year 11 World Rookie Tour famous riders participated to the 2018 Olympic Winter Games in Pyeongchang, where they impressed the public with their talent and their skills.
These athlets are: Marcus KLEVELAND (NOR) Mons ROISLAND (NOR) Reira IWABUCHI (JPN) Roope TONTERI (FIN) Seppe SMITS (BEL) Staale SANDBECH (NOR) Sven THORGREN (SWE) Vlad KHADARIN (OAR) Jonas BOESIGER (SUI) Katie ORMEROD (GBR) and Sarka PANCOCHOVA (CZE). Coming from different nations, what they have in common is the passion for snowboarding and their past in the World Rookie Tour. Indeed they start their carrier participating to the World Rookie Tour and winning some contests. It is incredible to see how they have improved from ordinary riders, looking for sponsors, to the best freestyle snowboarders of the World.
The Black Yeti is proud to have given them wings and to have supported them at the beginning of their carrier. Now it is time to encourage the future generations and to help them to make their dreams come true.
