Your parents suck. Your skateboard isn’t as fun. Your kids are annoying. Work. School. The beach. These are all reasons to ditch and head to Mammoth.

Marie France Roy is one of my favorite riders on the Vivo Headwear team because she continues to push and progress women’s snowboarding in a venue that is true to snowboarding. While most women compete and train for contests like the Olympics that aren’t so true to snowboarding, Marie does her own thing and had a solid part in Absinthe’s Neverland. While this view is based in opinion, you can’t argue the fact that Marie is doing great things for her “sport.” Most guys would never pick a woman as a favorite rider but her recent interview in ECS made me the exception.
O.K. now I would have a funky fresh gravatar but no confirmation. But for reals I ain’t no quere but M.F.R. is the sickest rider on the team when you look at it in a logical and relative type of way! She had the sickest chick part ever in theRome joint No Correct Way and she is an all over the place rider, street…chutes…street…Pipe…street…massive powder…did I mention she is pretty sick in the street! So yeah out of all the great riders on the Vivo team I say Marie! VIVA LA VIVO!
Hey I had firsties but took too long!
Marie is dope, and i never win shit, and i dont have a fagatar, and i can board better than pot head wannabe wankstas, and I do know what a run on sentence is.
one more thing. what the hell does long hair have to do with snowboarding. cut that nappy shit
I’m all about the head gear man and I give my support to Marie. If my girl could ride half as good as Marie I would have the hoteest wife rider combo in the world.
Tadashi Fuse say f*ck everything, I do what I want Biotch and still gets his sponsors. From a personal aspect he is by far the best on the team cause he just chills and says I will do what I want when I want and if you dont like you can suck it. The fact that he likes to snowboard and skate and is looking for a way to bond the two together is sick. This guy didnt even want to become pro and does not care if he is. He is just the shit.
marie is pretty sick!
Markku Koski. enough said
Corey Sheppard, same name, how could he not be my favorite rider?
Corey Sheppard!!
Althought I am from Finland I have to say Tadashi Fuse. Markku Koski is an amazing rider and an excellent example of Finnish snowboarding expertice Tadashi Fuses unbelievable style and overall coolness takes the first place.
Hittin the backcountry in such style as Tadashi? Unbelievable.
Markku Koski. He’s an olympian, rides for 32 which have got to be my favorite boots to ride and he’s just so humble about being a pro boarder. Props to all the guys that still know what riding’s about.
So, by far, my favorite rider is MFR. It’s hard trying to make it in snowboarding for a female. I’m always looking for other girls to watch and ride with. MFR really holds it down for the ladies. She goes bigger than some guys and really represents. She’s totally real too. You can tell in her riding that she just really loves to snowboard. And that’s what it’s all about you know? Not sponsorships or movie parts or the Olympics. It’s about the love of shred and MFR’s really got it.
pick one? The whole team is stacked. Marie is one of the only girls i can watch ride and enjoy myself immensly. backside 7 into pow! uhh, tadashi looks he is sleepin when he is killin it. kale stephens…anyone that can hit their face on a tread and still kill it is always awesome. corey sheppard, is he still on blind? that dude rips. markku rips the U-jump. Geeves! ive only seen a few shots of him sliding those slippery tubes but he kills it to.
I think eastcoastslayer should go ahead and win this one because he’s apparently on his period and his boyfriend just left him and this would really just brighten his day. (we all know he deserves to win from his comment)
Marku Koski all the way him and his bomb tricks i say him at one of the x games in Breckingrig in Colorado it was sick that is were I only snow really like to snowboard but i need some new gear so pick me please thank you.
my favorite rider is definitely MFR. i love the whole rome team, and she rips as hard as the dudes. need proof? go watch no correct way. shes sick. i wanna see who else vivo picks up cuz the line up’s lookin mighty healthy.
that is one of the most insane team lineups ever! Kale Stephens is such a sick pow slaher same with MFR. She is iiiiinsane! Marku Koski has had a sick season and its apparent as he was 6th in the olympics! Andy G has the cleanest 50-50’s and hes partysnake material REPRESENT! In the end I have to go with Madameoiselle Roy because she such a nice person and rider! QUEBEC
I just heard they signed Mark Appleyard,Spencer Hamilton,Grant Patterson is this true? I think I seen some press on it….
geeves cause he’s gangster
Tadashi Fuse. Watch the Heartfilms video of him ripping through some Whistler backcountry pow. ‘Nuff said.
Marie-France Roy. She is an amazing woman rider. She goes to snowboard camp and teaches kids to snowboard up in mount hood. She is so steezy. She is so encouraging. Keep being amazing Marie-France Roy!
ps. I have a gavitar but i didnt know how to get it to work on friday.
marku koski — http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIUlVWko9qs
so sick
haha my bad, I was slightly high on my first post and failed. My favorite rider has got to be Marie-France Roy. Her style is too sweet and I am pretty convinced that by picking her she’ll want to wine and dine me like a respectable lady
Tadashi Fuse- BECAUSE HE’s JAPANESE!!!!!!
Markku Koski is easily my favorite rider on their team, his style is slick smooth and he isn’t afraid to go BIG. His flips and spins are awesome, making him a quality role model!
Markku is unreal and a legend
Marie France Roy MFR . HSe an awsome rider and keeping it real, she got skill.
