Hailing from Mt Tremblant, Charles Reid is part of a new breed of French Canadian Shredders who is making a name for himself on the Swatch TTR World Tour.   2008/2009 has been a killer season for Charles Reid and it started off strong with a win at the 4Star Oakley Stylewars and a 2nd at the 5Star Burton New Zealand Open.  It was here where he unleashed what would become one of his signature tricks – the Double Cork, a move which helped him find the podium several more times during the season.

He kept working tirelessly, crossing the globe, competing in Swatch TTR events but it was not until he returned home for the Burton Canadian Open that he found himself on the podium again.  He snatched first in the Halfpipe which helped bolster him in the TTR ranking and boost his confidence ahead of the next contest in Japan.  Reid’s form continued at the 5Star Nissan X-Trail Asian Open where he placed second in the Halfpipe.  He then headed back to the U.S where he took part in the 5Star Intelligent Design and came second.  Coming into the U.S Open his results have assured him a good chance of a strong TTR finish and French Canadian riders will have their hopes pinned on Charles Reid.
