Our Journey

Training with our new team is even better than I envisioned.

I love working with my new teammates and with Rob again. Rob has been working us hard. We’ve made some good changes. Everyone is ripping and having fun. I think we’re all a little tired after pushing hard the past two weeks. I’m looking forward to taking a break next week and doing some kiting and surfing on the Oregon Coast before getting back on-snow again.

Our World Cup opener is Oct. 9th in Landgraaf, Netherlands. We’ll be working hard in the weeks ahead to be ready to ride fast. Thanks a lot to the Mt. Hood staff for all their help and support. Thanks to our AST sponsors and partners for their support making our new team a reality and helping us pursue our Olympic Dreams. Have a fun holiday weekend!

America’s Snowboard Team (AST) is a newly formed independent group of athletes in pursuit of a common goal: qualifying for and medaling in the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.  We’re a team of serious competitors who exemplify the Olympic spirit and have come together in an athlete orientated organization, built by athletes for athletes.

Our team is committed to providing the best coaching, training, resources, and team environment to see that each member reaches their highest potential.  We hope to insure that the next generation of riders has the same opportunity we’ve had,  to compete at the highest level of international snowboard competition. Through hard work and personal involvement, we’ll positively promote our Country, our sport, our sponsors, and the humanitarian mission of life-saving organ and tissue donation through the Chris Klug Foundation.

Thanks,

Chris
