Aaron Biittner is a pro snowboarder from Salt Lake City Utah in the US of A. He is among the team of elite DC riders. Biittner’s super relaxed attitude & casual style makes his riding stand out in a positive way. Snowboarding is experiencing a much needed shift from, at times, ugly hucked 1080’s back to simplistic & good looking tricks. Aaron is at the apex of this progression.

How was your northern hemi winter and what did you get up to?
I filmed a ton with DC & for the new Videograss movie (www.videograss.com). I also did a couple fun contests, and had an all around super cool year traveling and shreddin with homies.
I prefer watching riders with good style because it usually means that they are doing it for the right reasons
What’s it like being on the DC Pro team and does everyone get on well?
We are all pretty good buddies and we always have super good times traveling and shredding. It’s awesome, I still get surprised when I see our team roster!
What do the initials DC stand for?
Nobody knows…
Which snowboarders do you respect and why?
Justin Bennee, Darrel Mathes, MFM, Devun Walsh, Iikka Backstrom, Louie Vito, Stevie Bell, Lauri Heiskari, Jeremy Jones, Peter Line, Pat Moore, Eddie Wall, Deadlung, JP Walker, Heikki Sorsa, Eero Ettala, the list goes on and on…
Where will your next shred trip take you?

What trick gives you the best feeling?
triple cork 1440
Rocker / reverse camber…good or bad ?
Those things look weird, I’ve never even wanted to try one to tell ya the truth.
You score pretty highly on style points. Is style an important factor in being a top snowboarder?
I prefer watching riders with good style because it usually means that they are doing it for the right reasons. I mean, can’t you tell when someone just looks like they’re trying to win a contest or show everyone up…shit looks wack. Go have fun.
