Meet Arthur. If you don’t know him yet, please pay attention: he’s one of the most versatile riders on this planet, and you might add him to your “favorite riders” bunch after you saw him shred.

Arthur Longo is 25 years old and comes from the French village/ski resort/glacier Les Deux Alpes. Last season, Arthur scored the opening part in the Pirate Movie Production flick Unique8 and blew some more minds in Volcom’s #IP2 project. But the Frenchman isn’t only a boss when it comes to powder, he’s also one of the best halfpipe snowboarders. In fact, the man who laughs constantly while riding currently sits on fifth place in the World Snowboard Tour Halfpipe Rankings, last season he won the silver medal at the X Games in Tignes, and in 2009 he won the Oakley Arctic Challenge.

Now, how did this dude get that good, you ask? Why don’t we just hand over the mic to the man himself…

“As long as you’re healthy and want to do better and better for yourself, I think you will get better. It’s simply the passion that drives you and leads you to getting better and trying new things. For me, I don’t have any limits I want to reach. All I want to do it try and try and try.”

See, 25 years old, amazing snowboarder, laid back dude, and already wise beyond his age. Nobody said that the world’s fair…
