Let that kid buy YOU a beer! According to Forbes.com, local snowboarder Travis Rice raked in over 1 million last year in revenue and is ranked #8 on the action sports list of most highly paid athletes. Considered one of the best boarders on the planet, Forbes calls Rice "a renaissance man on the snow competing in big air, slope style and pipe events." T.Rice counts Quicksilver and Red Bull as major sponsors and also produces and stars in popular snowboard movies like The Community Project and That's It, That's All.
