Hello everyone :-)

My name is Dusan Kriz and I am from beautiful Czech Republic.



Mine family has a long skiing history. Mine mother Olga Krizova - Charvatova is an Olympic bronz medalist from Sarajevo Olympic games in 1984 and my sister Klara Krizova was twice at olympics 2010 and 2014.



I become the snowboarder and is my passion, dream, life. I am so thankful, that I have a chance in my life to do what I love.Only not that funny thing is that the budget for mine season isn´t small at all. I am cooperating mine training and season alone or with my friend Petr Horak. The Czech federation is really trying to help me, but in the total, their money support pays "only" about 17% of my budget, than mine main sponsor Vans pays that same 17% and the rest I have to pay by myself... Mine season costs me in total about 12 500 EUR(travel costs, accommodation costs and others). Last summer I had to spent one month sleeping in tent in the forest at Mt.hood, because I didn't have enough money for some accommodation, but I LOVE do snowboard and it doesn't mine :).



I have been 29th in slope style and 12th in Big air at World championship at Stoneham 2013 and the feeling of represent your country is indescribable. This season I am preparing myself for the World cups, European cups and the biggest TTR contest and your donation support will help me very much to get into the best shape I can, I promise :-)



Thank you very much.

Dusan
