Any snowboarding fans out there?
Popular snowboarding magazine, TransWorld Snowboarding, recently named their Riders Poll Rider of the Year for 2008! This is an award that is decided on by the pros, so it's a huge honor, and it basically means that you rock faces off. Just sayin'.
This year's winner was Wolle Wolfgang Nyvelt, a 9 year vegetarian—go figure! To be a successful snowboarder, one must brave the cold, have ultimate dedication, and have high energy and good health.
High energy and good health was no problem for Wolle—in his interview with TransWorld (December 2008), he has this to say about his diet:
"When I first became a vegetarian, I had some people around me who were totally poison-free, who were just kind of an inspiration—they showed me some books... there are lots of different strategies, but what's important is being conscious about your body and finding out what's best for you. Not to sound too proud about it, but these days with so many people living on the world, vegetarians can feel good about this choice."
Well done, Wolle! You're living proof that you can shred better than the best of them, meat-free!
