Wednesday, 02 February 2011

Girls who were not much into the extreme action at the Winter X Games still found themselves rooted as they watched 18-year-old Sebastien Toutant compete in the Big Air and slopestyle competitions.

Seb Toots might be one of the youngest competitors, but he showed the world what he's made of.  He has been doing double corks and other tricks even before he was old enough to drink beer. 

He has racked up the golds and the medals having graced the podiums of the Winter X Games 15 where he won gold for slopestyle, and placed second to Torstein Horgmo in Big Air.  He also got the gold in Beijing Air and Style last year.

In 2009, he basically hoarded gold at the New Zealand Open (slopestyle), Freestyle.ch in Berlin and showdown Grouse.  He also placed 2nd at the US Open (slopestyle) and the Atlas Open.

Here is Sebastien Toutant's Backside 1260 trick at the Snowboard Big Air event at the Winter X Games 15

Toutant is Canadian and is currently based in Montreal.  He has the Tootsie Roll as a signature trick.
