Help me go for GOLD in Sochi

Hi, my name is...

My name is Justin Reiter, I am on the road to Sochi going for gold and chasing a childhood dream.  

The Why

Snowboarding has been the driving force in my life since I first sarted at 9 years old.  It introduced me to disipline, sportsmanship, and In 1998 when snowboarding was accepted into the Olympics it became my dream to represent the United States in the winter games and to win a medal. Since then I have taken every step and made every sacrifice to move towards my dream of becoming an Olympian and bringing home the gold.  

I hope that my passion and dedication can inspire others to get out and follow their own dreams.  

My Story

My life in the mountains started in Lake Tahoe California.  My mom had me skiing at 18 months old.  But, it was a few years before I switched to Snowboarding.

When I was 9 years old I saw my first snowboarder at Copper Mountain, Colorado.  It was love at first sight.  I begged my Mom (my biggest fan) for a board and come Christmas morning, stetting beneath the tree was a Burton Perfomer Elite.  I slept with it that night and rode it for the first time the next day.  I was hooked.

I grew up in Colorado competing in all disciplines of snowboarding: Halfpipe, Slopestyle, Boardercross, and Racing.  When I turned 18 I decided to put all of my focus into racing both Parallel Giant Slalom and Parallel Slalom.  I chose to move to Steamboat Springs, CO to pursue my Olympic dream and train with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.  With their support and guidance I have grown from an unranked unknown rider to a top ranked silver medalist at the 2013 World Championships and 6th overall in the world.   

I Need Help

I am rallying to raise $10,000 to help with travel and coaching expenses.  Unfortunately Olympic Dreams come with a price tag.  The cost of a World Cup Season (Olympic Qualifiers) is upwards of $30,000.  I am hoping to Rally $10,000 that will be used to help pay for travel expenses such as airline tickets, car rentals, train tickets, and gas.  The money will also be used to pay for my coaching fees with the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club.

My Team

I am very lucky to have a wonderful support team behind me.  The Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club and my coach Thedo Remmelink have provided the right guidance and developmental path to make me not only a great snowboarder but a decent:-) person as well.  My headgear sponsor SG Pro Team has literally provided the financial base for me to pursue my dreams in snowboarding and compete in the sport I love.  Last but definately not least, my parents. Thank you all for your sacrifices, support, and belief.

Other Ways You Can Help

If you are unable to support my Rally financially I completely understand.  However if you can please help spread the word I would really appreciate it.

Rallyme-badge-grey-180 Yana Wengel Hi Justin, I found your story in the internet...and it is incredible...I am really touched by it...and it is sad that amazing athletes like you have to go not only through physical but also through financial trials in the world we live in. I was living in the car myself, so I kind of know how tough is it...but if you have a dream it worth it! attitude is everything! Although I am Russian I will be cheering up for you on your Olympic day I with you luck, accomplishment and your dream come true! For good luck I attach this picture (http://cs305706.vk.me/v305706599/2288/-_2c3h8k0do.jpg) I made in Santiago de Compostela after I walked there on foot for app. 1000km for about 5 weeks -everything is possible. This is a pilgrim shell- a symbol of St. James Way and dreams of many people. Warmest greetings and all the best, Yana February 13, 2014
