Sebastien Toutant, affectionately known as Seb Toots, is a Montreal-based shredder that has stomped his way to the top of the TTR leader board by taming some of the biggest snowboard contests around the world. Due to a rough start to the 2010 season Seb has unfortunately had to sit on the bench through the better part of the season but Seb is a super motivated athlete and has a drive to compete and push his limits everytime he straps his board on.

His latest accomplishments include winning the Freestyle Berlin Big Air, claiming second place at the Freestyle.Ch. Big Air comp and crushing the Burton NZ Open slopestyle event. Last season Seb captured Ride's attention by winning the Ride Shakedown event in front of 20,000 fans at Mt. Saint Sauvier, Quebec, for the second time. Being one of the newest members of the Ride team we are super stoked for Seb to get back on his feet and pick up where he left off last season.

After an amazing season last year, and a great start to this that saw him atop the slopestyle podium at the New Zealand Open, Seventeen-year-old slayer Sebastien Toutant has signed with Ride Snowboards.

According to Ride, Toutant, who stands atop the TTR Tour, captured Ride’s attention by winning the Ride Shakedown event in front of 20,000 fans at Mt. Saint Sauvier, Quebec, for the second time. “What’s this kid going to do next?” said Matt Sickels, Ride’s team manager. “He has the ability to win every event he enters. Whatever he does, we’re glad he’s going to be doing it with a Ride board and bindings. He’s a rising super talent who’s just getting started.”

When discussing what his company looks for in a pro rider, Sickels says they need to be well-rounded: “It wasn’t only Seb’s big air and slopestyle skills that impressed us but his professional approach to his career that is only equaled by the fun he is having. Seb is a super well-rounded snowboarder who shows potential in all disciplines of snowboarding.”
“Ride is the real deal,” Seb said. “The gear gets it done like no other. I’ve been a fan forever so being on the team is so sick! It’s perfect timing and I want to grow with a team and a brand that keeps bringing snowboarding to the next level.”
Toutant will be ride the Ride Kink 147, DH 151 and Society 151 boards with Contraband™, Delta and EX Bindings during the 2009-10 season.
