It’s a simple premise really.
We reached out to a few riders in NZ to find out what they’re rockin on the hill this year.
Today we’re talking to Auckland based shredder Leon Thomason. He’s just worked off a gnarly injury he picked up in Whistler over Summer and is rearing to get back to throwing down some madness.
If you see a Bataleon board upside down and double overhead then there’s a solid bet that Leon’s the master who’s taming it.
Check this vid from last season to see for yourself.
