Nik Baden’s story is similar to many Colorado-natives: get born, start snowboarding, never stop snowboarding. But what choice did he have? Growing up in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, and learning to ride at the age of 4, his snowboard fate was sealed.

His funky park style and huge fearless spins—some of his favorites include backside 720s and Cab 900s—have set him apart on the Revolution Tour. Now competing with the pros, the sky is the limit for this steezy slopestyle rider.

When Baden’s not snowboarding you can find him enjoying the mountains camping and hiking.
