BIOGRAPHY:
With six X Games gold medals—the last of which he earned by five-peating in 2010—Nate Holland has enough precious metal to gild his driveway by now. But that didn't keep Holland from stocking up in 2011, adding another World Championship bronze and an X Games bronze to his cache of honors. Born and raised in northern Idaho, Holland developed a taste for adventure at a young age, oen that has carried him throughout his career. A snowboardcross specialist, Nate defines the sports chaotic style by going all-out in every race. And the two-time Olympian wont be slowing down any time soon, either, as he looks ahead to Sochi 2014.

NATE SAYS:
This last season was filled with highs and lows, I hit the podium 50 percent of the time I stepped into the start gate. I can't complain about having that kind of success but I am a rider that expects much more of myself and am determined to up my podium percentages. And, oh yah, X Games gold, I put a one year lease out on that medal, I'll be back on top in 2012!

FIRST TRACKS:
Nate was ripping the slopes of Schweitzer Mountain in a pair of Sorels and one of Burton's Performer Elite boards by the time he was 8. He knew he had to ride professionally after watching Shawn Farmer and Damian Sanders launch the legendary "fingers" of Squaw Valley in the classic snowboarding movie "Critical Condition."

OFF THE SNOW:
When I'm not on the snow I enjoy activities that keep me busy like dirt biking, fly fishing, mountain biking and wakeboarding.
