There's A New Kid On The Mountain

Sage Kotsenburg most of the world knows that name after the history making Olympic statement he made in Sochi ,Russia at the 2014 Olympic Games. This 20 year old homeschool alumni was not only the first person ever to win a Gold Medal at the Olympics for Slop Style Snowboarding but was also the first person to win a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games.
      Kotsenburg was born in Coeur d'alene, Idaho to parents Steve and Ann he grew up and still Resides in Park City Utah.Sage is one of 4 children he has 2 older brothers and a younger sister. Kotsenburg began snowboarding at the age of 5 with his older brother Blaze. Sage made his US Open Debut at age 12. Debuting so young there was no telling how good he actually would end up being but after the Sochi games there is no doubt about how good Sage Kotsenburg really is. Shaun White better watch out this definitely won't be the last we hear from this extremely talented snowboarder.
