Team Rider: Claire Hewitt-Demeyer

Claire Says:
Snowboarding has been the main passion in my life, and I am definitely an adrenaline junkie.  I surround myself with sports that keep my heart rate up such as, skydiving, long boarding, kayaking.  Of these sports, snowboarding is my favorite, for many reasons, including the travel, meeting people, and exploring the great outdoors.

Why We Love Her
The first rider to be added to the team, Claire is the girl that’ll attempt some impossible trick, land on her head and wreck huge, and come out smiling.  She’s up for anything, and always pushing herself to go bigger, often winning over competition judges by going for ballsy tricks while the other girls play it safe.  Her cheerful head-in-the-clouds personality makes her everyone’s little sis’. 

A broken collarbone last season prevented Claire from competing, but for 09/10, she’s already getting her groove back, with a first place finish at the Back Yard Bang in Denver this November.  We look forward to watching her progress this season.
