BIOGRAPHY
All-American wrestler, 2000 State Champ (189 pounds), state champion hurdler and All-State football player are a glance into the athletic accomplishments of Nick Baumgartner. His rise in SBX started in ‘04 when he won the USASA Nationals and U.S. Extreme Boarderfest, yet he blasted onto the scene in '07 after winning the VISA U.S. Snowboardcross Championships at Tamarack Resort, ID.

UPDATE
Baumgartner had another standout season in 2009, only this time it involved a higher caliber of hardware. His World Championship bronze medal was the highlight of an awesome season that included five World Cup top-10 finishes, the final two of which landed him on the podium in second. To cap it all off Baumgartner finished third in the SBX overall World Cup standings. The next step for Baum is making the Olympic team.

FIRST TRACKS
Like most growing up in the frozen tundra of Northern Michigan, snow found Nick and he's done (and does) pretty much everything there is to do with the fluff, snowboarding just came along like the newspaper - daily.
