Specialità Quote: “It is certainly not a disadvantage to be paid for freeriding. It’s a job like any other. Of course it is a chance but at the same time you take risks. They pay me for doing that. So much the better!”

Seb Michaud learned to ski when he was three years old and was quickly better than his parents. At the age of ten, he began to monoski, to train in trampoline and to dive at the Akkro Centre Evian. Around seven years later, Seb succeeded in the disciplines jumping and mogul skiing to become part of the French ski acrobatic national team. In freeride, which came up in time for the end of his active competition period, he found his calling and purpose and it was the most natural thing in the world for the Frenchman. Today, Seb prefers filming to the World Tour (“you can wait until the conditions are perfect”), but thanks to his experience he still is a competitor who should be taken seriously at any competition.
