Nick Baumgartner’s life is the definition of out-working everyone and never giving up. This product of northern Michigan grew up with a traditional ”Yooper” work ethic and an enthusiasm you can’t coach. While Nick’s original passion was football and he played at the collegiate level, that didn't last and snowboarding took over. While he started with slopestyle, Nick became a force on the boardercross circuit and had to battle through four Olympics before he finally earned his Gold Medal. It's an incredible story, and US Snowboard Teammate Jonathan Cheever asks Inappropriate Questions.
