BARRETT CHRISTY

Barrett Portrait

If snowboarding is a sport with style, then Barrett Christy is the Aretha Franklin of snowboarding. She has won medals at most of the major competitions including the X Games (Guiness Book for the most medals ever), U.S. Open, Vans Triple Crown, ISF World Championships and was a member of the first U.S. Olympic Snowboarding Team. Plus she's playing with Jordan as the proud mama of the Nike Air Barrett Christy shoe
. But the most impressive thing about her is the amazing way she rides a mountain. Beauty is watching her shred. And she's pretty damn cute too.
Here are a few links in her honor.


Mervin Manufacturing and GNU Snowboards

 Barrett's GNU pro model was one of the first boards designed specifically for the female rider. It is consistently ranked high in the various buyer's guides every year.

Here's a 2 part interview on EXPN.

Gravity Games

Another interview from the Gravity Games site. Is it just me, or do the Gravity Games seem like the bastard stepchild of the X Games? But at least they have Barrett.
