Tignes, France – The GNU Frenchman Mathieu Crepel, was close behind Switzerland’s Iouri Podladtchikov to land the Silver Medal in the SuperPipe event at Winter X Games Europe! Drawing inspiration from the hometown locals, he set down a double corked 10 and front 12 on his GNU Park Pickle.
“Being in my home country of France does add some pressure,” Crepel said about performing in France. “All the media and fans here in France has been amazing, and you want to do the best you can in front of them.”
GNU Team Riders, Mathieu Crepel, Kaitlyn Farrington, and Danny Kass will be riding their Bananas and Pickles at Winter X Games Europe March 10-12, held in Tignes, France.

Mathieu has an impressive competitive resume; a two-time Olympian, 2007 FIS Halfpipe and Big Air World Champion, the 2006 Ticket To Ride (TTR) World Champion, and he is the first person to land a switch backside 1260 in competition.
Mathieu is not only a great competitor, but is widely regarded as a better all mountain freestyle rider. Having spent the last several years filming with the legendary Hatchett Brothers’ Standard Films, Mathieu has produced impressive parts in Catch The Vapors and Aesthetica. His part in their latest release, Black Winter, is his best yet.
Mervin Manufacturing’s co-founder Pete Saari echoes these sentiments. “Math has been riding for us since he was a kid and is tres French so we love him. He is one of the world’s best riders in any terrain and if he could drink a little tougher, rope a steer, or shoot a bottle off a stump he would be a lock for a big part in Travis’ next movie. Crepel is smooth, goes big and can dork around with the best of them. He is the real deal. Sacre Bleu!”
