Australian shredder Scotty James is an up-and-coming snowboard star.  James started competing on an international circuit at 14 years old.  He has progressively improved his places at the FIS Snowboard World Cup and he qualified for the 2010 Winter Olympics. James was the youngest competitior at the Vancouver Games and the youngest male Olympian in 50 years.  James competed at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi in both slopestyle and halfpipe.

James got his start when he was a child, in fact, he was so small that his father could not find a snowboard small enough for him, so they bought a display board from a shop window for him to shred!
