Title: TAR 29: Matt Ladley
Post by: georgiapeach on March 15, 2017, 06:42:59 AM
Biography

(http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb140/ga--peach/TAR%2029/CbS%20Press/Matt.jpg)
 
Age: 25
Hometown: Steamboat Springs, Colo.
Current occupation: Professional Snowboarder

Describe what you do: Compete in snowboard contests.   

3 words to describe you: Ambitious, versatile and determined.   

Favorite hobbies: Adventuring Colorado, backpacking, climbing and biking.     

What is the accomplishment you are most proud of? That I followed my dreams and didn’t give up when people told me I was unrealistic.   

What scares you most about traveling? Getting sucked into the toilet on the airplane.   

What excites you most about traveling? Exploring new places and realizing how small our little worlds back home can be when you see what the world is really like.   

What qualities do you hope your partner has? All I want is somebody who won’t give up, that is most important to me. You don't have to be the fastest, strongest, or smartest to win. It’s the personality that can stay positive and continue that will go the furthest.   

What qualities will be hard for you to put up with in a partner? Complaining, somebody who is easily frustrated or ever says the words “I can't.”   

What do you think will be the biggest challenge you and your teammate face? Probably navigating foreign countries in a language I don’t understand.   

What country and place would you most like to visit and why? I’ve always wanted to go Indonesia. It looks beautiful, I love boats, and I have never been to that part of the world.   

What do you hope to accomplish by running The Race (other than winning one million bucks)? Getting to see a little more of the world than I have before. I’m used to mountain towns and ski resorts so I look forward to a variety of other things. And hopefully I get an awesome partner and make an awesome new friend!

Redmond gives off that 1st impression very well. Now the choice makes more sense.

I like the optimism he has even though he and Redmond were fighting for last place. :torche He still gave the best effort he can on the last task.

Interesting to hear his thoughts, this one was kind of a social media recluse all throughout the season. One tweet, and his Facebook fan page has been long idle.

Andy & Tommy shoutout :lol:

Well, we've had 3 Pro Snowboarders, one a team (Andy & Tommy, S.19) and Matt, both finished the Race in 4th place. Bring (Matt & Redmond) back for All-Stars, they were one of the better M/M teams to Race IMO.

Matt has announced on his IG account that he is retiring from competitive snowboarding in part due to the hip injury he sustained that required surgery last year.
