Duder Rocks the Grom World

10 year old Grom Squad Member, Nate Jacobson aka "Duder" is rocking the comps this winter.   A 4' 6" he may be small, but when it comes to freeride, he goes BIG!  When asked about his season Duder comments, “It was a great season because I won first place in one competition and made it to Nationals, I learned some new tricks like a back 5, front 5 and a backside 7.”   This April 4-11th Duder will be heading to Nationals at Copper Mountain in Colorado.  He qualified for both half-pipe and slope style.  After the season at Bachelor, Duder plans on wakeboarding, rock climbing, skating, and spending as much time at Mt. Hood preparing for next season.  Here are some resent results and photos of Duder...
