Botond Fricz and Oliver Orban

Share 

Boti Fricz and Oli Orban are two up and coming Euro riders from Hungary. While Boti spends his school years in Austria (snowboarding in the off season), Oliver lives at Gyõr at one of Hungary's better cable parks. Boti excels not only on the water, but on the mountains as well. Oliver has a bunch of technical hammers up his sleeve. They visited Florida for their first time recently and I got to tag along with them. Check out this dynamic duo or, as we like to call them, The Euro Connection!
