Guess What...Another FWT Wildcard. No Really !

Yes a headline that would send the hardiest reader to sleep, the FWR has another wildcard entry, it makes you wonder if there are more wildcards than regular entries, though an absence of wildcards would certainly dininish the tour's media prescence.

For those still awake apparently Dustin Craven will make his debut on the FWT at the first event of the season, gaining a wildcard in the men’s snowboard category. Dustin is a highly respected snowboarder who has been on the freeride scene for well over a decade, gaining a reputation for his unique approach to big mountain snowboarding.

Dustin spends most of his winters chasing powder in British Columbia, Canada, explaining the incredible footage of the freeride sessions he releases each year. In fact, Dustin has racked up a long list of film credits – including Stronger, Kamikazu, and First Kiss – clearly highlighting his position as one of the world’s best backcountry riders. Furthermore, he has been involved in the Natural Selection Tour, taking home the win in two events.

"I have been riding in the Golden area for 15 years and would say it's some of my favourite places to snowboard in the world. I'm excited to join the Tour for the stop and have the opportunity to try and prove myself in my backyard. The Tour offers such a skilled level of riders that it will be amazing to push myself and see takes to perform on a large alpine face.” said Dustin Craven, FWT athlete

 

Will his experience help him defeat the regular FWT roster? Dustin certainly has all the ingredients to challenge the world’s best freeriders, but the level and competition only get more intense each year. Find out if this legend can continue pushing the limits and add yet another accolade to his list. Kicking Horse Golden BC – as all FWT events – will be live at www.freerideworldtour.com,
