Ones to watch 2020

We take a look at some of our favourite up and coming riders

Sandbech. McMorris. Rice. Jones. You know who we’re talking about, we don’t even have to full name them. Even your mum’s probably heard of them. But there’s a plethora of riders who are making waves in the scene who you may not be so familiar with. These are the riders that have been on our radar throughout 2019 and we’re stoked to see them take off this season. These are the Whitelines Ones to Watch 2020…

Toshiki has been called “the best rider you’ve never heard of”, but this season he’s coming in HOT. His prowess in the backcountry is reminiscent of old school Absinthe movies and he’s equally at home boosting in the park.

Filmed some stuff with @labyrinthcrew at @ruka_park last spring???? Link in bio for the full edit!????

A post shared by HENNA IKOLA (@hennaikola) on

Henna recently bossed a second place finish at Rock A Rail with some super tech moves, but she can normally be found tearing Ruka a new one. As at home in the streets as she is in the bowl, you definitely want to keep an eye on Henna.

STOP 3 @soap.bar.wax #justtherightspeed tour at #thegreatestresortinthemilkyway ???? Best time riding with the HYPE MAN @jasonrickwood ????????????????????????????????????????????????

A post shared by ☮OG from the b00bytrap ???? (@mia_brookes) on

UK Crew will already know this little ripper. Mia’s been tearing it up in the domes and through Europe for years now, and has a silky smooth style that belies her young age. Stacking up a hefty list of sponsors and cleaning up at The Brits, Mia’s set to take over the world any day now. Keep an eye on her though, it’s well known in the industry that she’s a capable pool shark who can take on even the savviest players.

A post shared by Nico Bondi (@nicobondi10) on

Pint sized Nico is already on a lot of people’s radars but he’s set to hit the big time! Smooth and surfy pow laps, or bossing it on a top to bottom Nico’s bringing home the goods every time!

A post shared by lauren derminio (@loloderminio) on

This chick has got some old school Forum vibes about her and we’re here for it big time. Whether it’s handrails into rivers or double backies ferda boys she’s throwing it down with a give-a-shit attitude. Props.

@rockarail soon➡️???? ???????? @mikkorehnberg & @kallejarvilehto

A post shared by Roope Rautiainen (@rooperautiainen) on

Another Finnish Labyrinth rider who’s been making waves, Roope has got an effortlessly smooth style. There’s gotta be something in the water up at Ruka because these guys are churning out talent quicker than you can say ‘Saippuakauppias’.

Indoor doubles? Oh go on then. Max is only 14 and already has a bag of tricks that would make David Blaine jealous.

A post shared by Melissa Peperkamp (@peperkampmelissa) on

Like the majority of Dutch riders, Melissa has a super smooth rail technique but unlike most of the others, she just topped the podium and won first place at Rock A Rail. Big up ya bad self Melissa!

Every backflip is different. Can’t wait to do more this winter ????????.

A post shared by Brendan Hart (@brendanhartsy) on

Brendan’s been backflipping his way into our hearts all year long, he’s got a real knack for being able to make every bit of his riding look enjoyable and you’re guaranteed to get some shred envy when you watch his clips. He’s the poster boy for ‘Go snowboarding, it’s fun’.

A post shared by Anniina Perhovaara (@anniinaperhovaara) on

You probably already know about Anniina, and if you didn’t, now you do. When she was just 9 years old she had a stand out street part in Jess Kimura’s ‘The Uninvited‘, what were you doing aged 9?! Anniina is already far, far cooler than any of us will ever be and she’s getting better every year.

Does he moonlight tarmacking motorways? We don’t know. Maybe. Can he throw down on a snowboard. Yes, yes he can.
