Taking Chances

15 May 2012

Nicolas Müller is one of the best snowboarders in the world, noted for his elegant style and ability to ride and adapt to widely disparate terrains. The Swiss native was awarded the Snowboarder Magazine "Rider of the Year" distinction in 2006 and 2008, runs his own clothing line Atreebutes, and has been featured in films by Absinthe, Burton, Brainfarm, Nike, and others. Los Angeles-based Circe Wallace has been Nicolas' agent for many years. Nicolas calls her "my guardian angel who enabled me to do whatever I wanted.“ She was a strong female presence in early snowboarding and significantly contributed to the promotion of athletes in action sports, while at the same time helping to push the boundaries of professional women in the industry. For this video, Circe met Nicolas in his picturesque hometown of Laax.
