Last week Travis Rice bagged an unprecedented four awards at the TransWorld Rider Poll awards. This week the accolades keep coming as Snowboarder Magazine names him the Number One Rider of the Year. For good measure, the mag also called T.Rice out as "Jumper of the Year" and the owner of "Video Part of the Year" for his That's It, That's All effort. Congratulations Travis!
Props also go to Travis' DC teammate, Torstein Horgmo. The Norwegian earned Number Six Rider of the Year as he, as the mag puts it, "has become the epitome of technical park riding precision."
See Travis, Torstein, and the rest of the best riders of the year in the March 2009 issue of Snowboarder Magazine, out now.
