Xavier de le Rue (FRA): combines freeride and boardercross in a unique style

Xavier De Le Rue is a French 30 year old mountain lover who is based in Verbier area, Switzerland during winter when he`s not on the road for a film session or a freeride competition. During summer he comes back to St Lary, his home resort, in the Pyrenees to climb with his wife and daughter, use his downhill mountain bike or go surfing near by on the French coast. His love for the mountain combined with his snowboarding racer and freestyler background give him all the technical abilities he needed to use and shred natural terrains at its best. Every time he straps in, he charges like there is no tomorrow, whether it`s pillow, minigulf, cliff drop or tight couloirs.
