BIOGRAPHY
Ben Watts says that there's only one thing that matters when it comes to snowboarding: having a lot of fun while loving the work. The freestyler considers his best on-snow skills to be his jumps and is constantly on the hill working to make himself a better athlete. When asked, he'll say he hopes to make it to the Olympics and snowboard his whole life.

UPDATE
It was a good season on the U.S. Snowboarding Grand Prix Tour as well as the U.S. Snowboarding Revolution Tour for young Watts who notched a number of solid results. He kicked things off at the Rev Tour in Copper just off the podium in fourth before moving on to the Grand Prix at Boreal Resort in California where he landed 12th. But, it was the final Grand Prix of the season where Watts heated things up as he finished sixth in the halfpipe.

FIRST TRACKS
Swanson, who says he has only spent one day of his life on a pair of skis, got lucky at the age of 7 when his mother brought home a used snowboard and some lessons at Mt. Bachelor. One year later he was in his first competition as a member of the Mount Bachelor Ski Education Foundation and he's never looked back.
