More awards for Xavier de Le Rue

Following his Snowboarder Magazine 'Big Mountain Rider of the Year' title, awarded by la crème of snowboarding for the past decade, Xavier de Le Rue’s name got shouted loud and clear at the Fillmore auditorium in Denver on January 29th during the 11th Annual TransWorld Snowboarding rider poll award when winner of the 'Standout Performance of the Year' was announced for his big-mountain lines in Alaska.

“In the last few years I have re-discovered snowboarding”, stated Xavier de Le Rue. “Getting the chance to film has been so cool and gave me the opportunity to share what I’ve been doing with other people. Being awarded for this is the best honor I could receive and it makes me want to do only better in the future. It feels great to get that recognition from the riders themselves. I’d like to give a big shout out to my sponsors and Standard films people who believed in me!”

Xavier had two amazing seasons which led him to cumulate not only competition titles:  Back to Back Nissan Freeride World Tour world Champion, back to back overall (yes that means snowboard and ski) best line of the FWT, Overall winner of Swatch O’neill Big Mountain Pro, yet as well as video segments in both 'Aesthetica' and 'Black Winter' from Standard Films and Relentless 'Lives of the Artist' movie with the Greenland trip.

Next year Xavier will be visible in various many highly anticipated video flicks: 'Deeper' by TGR, next Standard Films video and Relentles production 'Lives of the artists 2' with the Antarctica trip and he’s in the list of riders filming for the next Transworld video.
