Kids Just Wanna Have Fun
Award-Winning **VIDEO**

This kid’s got some game.
Meet Ian Matteoli. He tears it up on the slopes.
He’s the little 9-year old, 60-pound youngster from France who is already fluent in 3 languages, knows how to have fun, is as sharp as a knife and absolutely shreds it on a snowboard.
Rusty Toothbrush’s film features Ian alongside his good friend Alex Stewart as they rip the snowparks at Vars and Les 2 Alpes in France, act like consumerist hooligans in a grocery store with a severe case of ADHD, and hit Volcom’s contest runs.
And the kid stays busy.
He rocked the snow at age 6, went pro at age 7, has numerous girlfriends, loves skateboarding and BMX-ing, makes fly-fishing tackle, plays the harmonica, and absolutely kills it on a snowboard.
Ian can be found spinning tricks, twists, and turns off of everything and charging rails of any size. Following in the footsteps of his snowboard idol Shaun White, the kid is fearless in the park with an uncanny sense of coordination and speed control.
It also doesn’t hurt having a father that’s a European Ski Champion, a coach of an Olympic Gold medal winner, and the owner of a snowboard company mentoring you along, too.
And you thought you were good.
