According to Brennen Swanson, an entire life spent snowboarding is something he's more than interested in - it's something he's planning on. The rookie rider, who's gained recognition for being talented both in the pipe and on the slope, likes to show off unique grabs and tweak when he's catching air on his board. A guy who's spent his whole life by the water, Brennen can be found fishing when he's not out killing it in the snow.

FIRST TRACKS
With a father who learned how to snowboard just so he could teach his son, it's no shock that at the young age of 3, Swanson was up on the hill and loving every minute of it. The youngster would go straight from school to the hill and by the age of 7 he was at his first nationals.
