Page 40www.method.tvThe year was 1998, and snowboarding was making its debut at the winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan. Politically, this was a rocky time in snowboarding. Rival governing bodies FIS and ISF struggled for control of the sport, the IOC were wary of these young troublemakers, and world number one Terje Haakonsen challenged the legitimacy of snowboarding at the Olympics by boycotting the halfpipe event. Then as now, halfpipe was the main for snowboard and mainstream media alike; nobody was really paying much attention to the racers - snowboarding's lycra-clad nerds. Nobody was paying attention

Interview for Italian Newspaper - 2006
December 20th, 2006Interview for Il Corriere della sera (Italian Newspaper) before the 2006 Olympics in Torino. www.corriere.it <http://www.corriere.it/
INTERVIEWER: Thinking back about February 8, 1998, what's your first memory?
ROSS: My first memory of the 1998 Olympics would be the opening ceremonies. I remember how proud I was and how priviledged I felt to be one of Canada's winter Olympians. I felt so honored to be at the opening ceremonies with all the other Olympic winter sports (this was the first year snowboarding was allowed to be a winter sport at the Olympics). I also remember how the Japanese were so happy to have us there.

Argentinean newpaper interview with Ross
December 17th, 2006Recent interview for an Argentinean newspaper (December 15, 2006):
Interviewer: How is your season going so far? Ross: So far it has been a great season for snow here in Whistler, however not so good for racing. Too much snow! Still trying to find a major sponsor to help fund my quest for the 2010 games. Interviewer: Are you already preparing for the next Olympic Games? Ross: I have been preparing for the last two seasons and am looking forward to my first races in the new year. I must qualify for the Canadian Snowboard team by next season at the latest and sponsorship dollars will be the determining factor. Interviewer: The punishment you received

Flying High the Rebagliati Way
by Dave Thorvald Olson
Gold Medalist Ross Rebagliati is training for 2010 Olympics on his home course, defending his reputation and spreading his wisdom to the youth
Ross Rebagliati rolled into the early morning Vancouver coffee shop looking composed and chillaxed, deftly juggling cell phone radio interviews and answering questions via a live symposium connected to the 2006 Games in Turin. While others yawned, he continually smiled for snapshots and scribbled Sharpie autographs before heading back up the twisty road to Whistler for an afternoon of training.
