Roman "Romi" Kristl is a passionate action sport junkie who comes from a line of athletes. His father was an olympic kayaker for his home country Slovakia and Romi's mother was a national collegiate swimmer and water polo player and his uncle Marek Kristl a national squash player in Slovakia who went undefeated for 6 years.
At age 14 Romi started as a slope style rider for the slope style circuit. From there he progressed to the Mountain Dew Tour riding for the Grand Prix tournaments and eventually moved into the Free Riding world of snowboarding and was sponsored by North Face and Jones Snowboards riding internationally in North and South America and throughout Europe.
Riding professionally didn't come without a cost. By age 18 Romi suffered 15 surgeries and had to make a decision to continue chasing his dream or make a drastic change in his life.
