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.
