 | SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 2012 Mountainwatch catches up with Charles Beckinsale in Whistler, CanadaRead more... Park builder extraordinaire and Dragon team rider caught up with the Mountainwatch crew recently to have a chat about the season so far and his latest edit, When In Whistler. Have a read:When in Whistler episode 1 features the park you build, what are your favourite parts of the park and where should we look out for them in the vid?I build the park on Whistler with three others so it's not all me. I tend to work on the medium and large jumps mostly and I do a few rail sets before and after the jumps so I can hit the features I'm into in a long line. To be honest, I like the overall main line t... [ more ] |

Height: 1m 74 Weight: 74 kg Stance: 260 cm wide +15 front –12back Sponsors: APO , Nike 6.0, Burn, Pull-In, Dragon, Deeluxe, Shark Biscuit, Level, Ho5 Park Training Ground: Hintertux early season and wherever the park is groomed best for the rest of the season Favorite Wave (or Mountain, track, whatever): Austria and Japan for the pow. Whistler Blackcomb during the summer :). My home in France (Pirénées) for a fun shred with some buddies. Favorite trick: Frontside 180 and Switch backside 9 Inspirations: I take inspiration from many different things. Snowboarding videos, fellow shredders, friend, family, TV, different sports, partying… because for me everything is good for learning and the small details can mean a lot. Gerome has long time been recognised as one of the best French riders, but in the last couple of seasons he has cemented his place as a big name European shredder. With video parts in the Pirates movies, winning TTR events and having pro model boards and boots, Gerome is fast being recognised as one of the strongest talents to emerge from France. AKA: CoinCoin DOB: 11 February 1985 Born: France Resides: Tarbes in Pirénées , FR Hobbies: Family, Friends, Motocross, Tennis, watch a series Favorite Quote: What does not kill me makes me stronger One of Gerome’s biggest influences was his big brother who told him on his first day on the hill “one day you’ll be pro.” Gerome was already into motor-x and had plenty of experience in the air and it wasn’t long before the transition from jumping the bike transferred to the board. The goal was never to become pro, more just to enjoy days on the hill with his brother and friends. At the age of 18 Gerome decided that snowboarding was the career that he wanted to pursue and pushed super hard at training and took any opportunity to film. Now Gerome is getting to film with the Pirate’s and travel the world. |
