Growing up outside Geneva in Southern Switzerland, from humble beginnings, Romain de Marchi has gone on to become arguably one of the most influential contemperary riders ever to hit the World stage – epitomizing aggression riding and pioneering big mountain power freestyle along with Travis Rice. There is no backwards in coming forwards with Romain, both on and off the hill – it’s pedal to the metal, no hold’s barred, speed is your friend!

After two days of building the in run and kicker, he nailed the gap and earning more covers than any other single shot since Ingemar Backman’s b/s air in Riksgransen in 1996 (7 covers world wide). In fact, it is hard to prove and harder to imagine a single snowboard publication in the world that Romain has not graced the cover at least once over the last 10 years. Play hard, party hard – and there has been plenty of that in it’s time. Romain is one of the enigma’s of the sport, true to his passion and true to his word. He is one of a kind...
