Former G Team Riders Living the Dream

Former G Team Riders, Steve Fischer and Molly Aguirre are members of the US Snowboarding Team. Both riders have also made a name for themselves in the professional circuit, competing in the X Games and Grand Prix Championships.

Other former G Team riders include: Mason Aguirre, Nik Batko, Ricky Tucker to name a few!
 

Mason Agurrie:

Pipe master, yet an all around shred to the bone, Mason reps Mammoth but has roots in Minnesota. Last season he spent time traversing the globe, highlighted by a most excellent pow-packed Japanese journey where he bagged some a-roll for Burton’s latest vid, “It’s Always Snowing Somewhere.” Mason was also able to pull off a win at the New Zealand Open, 2nd at Park City’s World Superpipes, and another 2nd at the US Open halfpipe. In the off-season Mason finds piece of mind on the greens, and on the R&D tip is always cooking up crack smoke for his Ronin outerwear and Custom shred sled

Molly Agurrie:

Molly Aguirre is one of snowboarding’s biggest girly-girls, but that doesn’t seem to affect her riding. She trains with her brother and Burton teammate, Mason, and has developed her halfpipe skills to the same standards held by the guys. Though she is known as predominantly a halfpipe rider, Molly is an accomplished slopestyle rider as well. Her rail skills are apparent with wins at events like the Vail Session.

Molly grew up in Minnesota, but has since relocated with her family to Mammoth, CA, where she trains as a member of the US Team. When she’s not on the snow, Molly likes to wear mini skirts and go to the mall.

Tyler Anderson:

There has been thousands of athletes that have graduated through the ranks of G Team, but none have rode so smoothly through the transition on to a professional snowboard ranking as Tyler Anderson. His charismatic attitude and bright open outlook of the future put his mind in a constant state of progression and creativity. At the young age of 19 Tyler still have many years to prefect his style and expressive snowboarding form. If you don’t know who Tyler is, well, you will very soon.

My name is Tyler Anderson and I’m 19 years old from Chanhassen, Minnesota. I’m currently a student at Colorado Mountain College in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. I have been snowboarding for a solid 8 years and loving every minute of it. I am looking forward to a wonderful year ahead, spending time and getting to know everyone that’s part of the Pacsun team.

Mikeala Casey:

Mikeala has played many roles as a G Team athlete; from grom, to ripper, to champion, to mentor, and graduate. If you need inspiration and motivation to keep snowboard, sit down with Mikeala, sip a cup of hot chocolate, and absorb every bit of wisdom she passes to you as if your brain was a sponge. If Mikeala wasn’t perusing a career as a professional snowboarder, she’d already be the President of the United States of America.
