romain de marchi

Romain is now undoubtedly one of the most high profile snowboarders in the world, with a unique style and his ability to stomp tricks twice as big as other riders on the day. His section in Brusti's 'Vivid' stands out as one of the best video parts to date..every trick in the book, nailed large as f*ck!
Romain grew up in a village just outside of Geneva, on the French-Swiss border. He spent last season in Whistler but this season he's back in France and ripping it as always. We managed to hook up for this quick interview to give an insight into Romain's perceptions on snowboarding and life...
