Nico Gaillard

2011 Rider of the Year

Location: Grenoble, France

Favorite Riding Spot:

How did you get started? I was a skateboarder (for at least 5 years) when I saw Freebord on French TV. Florian Bonin (former team rider) initiated me. At first it wasn’t easy, but after a few drinks I started falling in love with it… since then I’ve stopped skateboarding to become a full time Freeborder.

How long have you been riding? 6 years

Best Freebord memory: Road trip to Italy with the CHoE crew.

Board settings: 80cm, tight trucks, medium rocker for DH, mad rocker for skatepark.
