Nate Holland, five time X Games gold medalist in snowboard cross, is gearing for his second appearance at the Olympics. Suffice to say, after a major mistake in 2006's Turin snowboard cross, Nate wants gold at Vancouver in a major way.
The best 240 snowboarders from approximately 30 nations have traveled to Oslo, Norway for the World Snowboarding Championships. This week, February 10-19, they'll partake in one of the most highly respected contests in freestyle snowboarding, which takes place just once every four years. Surrounded by fellow riders, friends, and peers, these talented athletes will compete for the acclaimed title of world champion. Male and female winners will be named in the halfpipe and slopestyle..
