Chat with Travis Rice
Rice turned a few heads last year when he waltzed into his first Winter X Games competition and went home with the gold medal in slopestyle. Between traveling the world living the snowboard dream and showing up in Aspen to compete in Winter X Games VII, Travis is a busy boy. Here's what he had to say.
