Kevin Backstrom
What is your favourite place to ride and why?
I really like Laax in Switzerland, good park and amazing pow. Breck is really good too!
What age did you start snowboarding?
When i was 3,5 years old.
What snowboarders do you most look up to?
Mikkel Bang.
What do you focus on most - slopestyle? Pipe? Big Air? and why?
Slopestyle and Big Air. I really like to hit jumps, pipe isn't really my thing.
What is your most memorable snowboarding experience?
Most memorable snowboard experience was probably the first time i did the TTR 5 Star O'Neill Evolution slopestyle and i ended up in 3rd place. I was 16 years old back then and rode against all the guys that i looked up to! That was a great feeling.
Your on the road a lot throughout the season - what is your favourite place to visit and why?
I really like to visit Japan, its so much different from where i live back in Sweden and its great pow over there.
What does a normal day consist of for you when your not snowboarding?
Party, friends and hang out with my family.
How has TTR affected your snowboarding career?
Its has been a great thing for me! Started doing the smaller TTR contests when i was a kid and then worked my way up to the bigger ones. TTR is really good for snowboarders!
