Nicolas Müller is a left-of-center and spiritually connected kind of guy who approaches all avenues of life with the same contagious energy. His inventive shred style and down to earth attitude, fueled by a genuine concern for his surroundings, are reasons enough for his numerous Rider of the Year accolades. As seasons come and go, Nicolas makes the effort to understand the affects snowboarding has on the terrain enjoyed by so many. A driving force behind Burton’s push to improve its environmental impact, Nico has been instrumental in the development of an array of new, friendlier materials and manufacturing processes, as evidenced in his new sig model board, the ECONICO. If you ever need to evoke your stoke, might we suggest you watch the fruits of Nico’s labors in Burton’s latest team video, “It’s Always Snowing Somewhere,” or Absinthe’s latest, “Ready.”
