There is nothing more enjoyable than knowing your peers appreciate your performances at their real value. Xavier De Le Rue is on his way to get that recognition. |
|
In a two year period his status changed from relatively unknown freerider to one of the best big mountain riders out there. Projects he’s on and his video segments are receiving props from the snowboard scene.
The Relentless movie, Lives of the artists, premiered in London in December. A Greenland segment filmed with Xavier, received the best shooting award and special prize of the jury at the international freeride film festival in St Lary. www.relentlessenergy.com
On a personal level his segment in the lastest Standard video « Black Winter » has been nominated at the Transworld Rider Poll Awards as standout performance of the year and it’s nominated for best line at Cold Smoke Awards. Xavier will also be on the other side of the fence as he’s part of the jury at riders-match.com a video contest open for pro and amateur, Xavier won the pro category last year and he’s now in the jury.
Life is not all about getting awards or being nominated, Xavier is leaving Tuesday 19th of January to Sochi to take part of the first comp of this year Nissan Freeride Wolrd Tour to defend his back to back freeride world champ titles and aim for a three-peat. Sochi will happen on January 21st then Xavier will attend Chamonix stop on January 30th.
We wish you luck Xavier!
