Probably the highest profile German rider since David Benedek, Ethan’s juggled his time between contest riding and video parts.
However, after failing to qualify for the 2014 Olympics, he took a stand against FIS in particular and the spin-to-win nature of competitions in general. He still signed up for the inaugural snowboarding leg of Nine Knights in 2015 though, so maybe his medal-chasing days aren’t behind him just yet.
