BIOGRAPHY
At 14 years old Gabe Ferguson is competitive with his peers, almost, all of which are a solid three to eight years older than him. He competes in both slopestyle and halfpipe and succeeds at both. With consistent top five finishes on the Burton AM Tour and breaking into finals at the Burton Canadian in 2012 this rising star will surely be one to watch out for. Ferguson’s impressive halfpipe run features tricks some of his older peers lay down in their runs; with a front 720, cab 720 and a 1080 he’ll likely be on their heels in the very near future.

GABE SAYS
This year I went to the Canadian Open and made it to finals and got 13th. At the U.S. Open I got second in the Junior Jam. I’m excited to ride and train with the U.S. Team next year. I’m also excited about going back to the Canadian and U.S. Opens.

FIRST TRACKS
In 2002, when Ferguson was four years old he started to snowboard. He learned at Mt. Bachelor with his Dad, who still coaches him now. He also tried skiing for a year before he switched over to snowboarding. One of his favorite memories of his career so far, he remembers “I made it to the finals in the Canadian Open in Calgary, Canada when I was 12. And it was under the lights and my parents got to watch it at home on TV.”

OFF THE SNOW
You can find Ferguson biking and skateboarding. He says “I like those because I am active and they are really fun. I also play football.”
