The 5 W's with Chris Rasman

Jun 10, 2010

Author: John Scarth

Rasman's a guy that constantly feels the urge to backflip off of anything in sight. Whether he’s riding or just walking down the street he's addicted to the backie. Couple that with the genetics passed down from his champion mogul snowboarding father and you’ve got one serious boarder.

Name: Chris Rasman

Birthdate: November 7th, 1988

Hometown: Vancouver, B.C.

Now Reside: Whistler, B.C.

Sponsors: Quiksilver, Lib Tech, Northwave/Drake/Bakoda, Grouse Mountain, Alterna Films

Who did you look up to when you started snowboarding? I really looked up to my dad Rudy, Jorli Ricker, Mike Michalchuk and Terje Haakonsen.

What's it like to be the son of a world mogul champion?  Pretty cool. It’s nice to know when I'm bombing groomers and a hairy situation catches me by surprises, its in my blood to react. Or I can at least call up Rudy and ask him what to do.

Where did you travel to this year? Turkey, Aspen and Big White. Argentina might be coming this August, conditions depending.

When will Kiefer Sutherland stop saving the world in 24 hours?  I don't know. When the show gets canceled? I don't watch 24.

Why do people ski? One of three possibilitys. One, they like rollerblading. Two, something's wired wrong in their brain that causes them to want to ski. Three, they didn't get the memo.
