We see a lot of kids that are really good on a snowboard, but 9-year-old Ian Matteoli is on a whole other level. Ian’s father is known in the hardboot world as a Olympic gold medalist and owner of KaaneBoards, but the young Italian took the the park rather than the boardercross course. We can confidently say that we’ll be seeing more of this kid in the coming years, there is no doubt about it.

Ian Matteoli has seriously GOT GAME!
He is 9 years old, speaks fluent English, Italian and French. Has 13 girlfriends (we assume), makes fly-fishing tackles, plays the harmonica and absolutely kills it on a snowboard!
This little monster is 28kg of awesome unstoppable fun!
Watch him and Alex Stewart destroy Vars Snowpark in what will be the youngest Rusty Toothbrush video part EVER!

POSSIBLE SIDE EFFECTS OF THIS VIDEO ARE AS FOLLOWS:
Strong shred esteem issues may occur.
In rare cases a desire to make shred babies will develop.
Careful when watching not to make contact with eyes, if so rinse immediately with water.
If symptoms persist you’re shit out of luck.
