Born to ride! Hailing from Wānaka, New Zealand, Rocco Jamieson was born with pure snowboarding pumping through his veins. Raised by pro snowboarders Deborah and Aaron Jamieson, the young Kiwi ripper is pushing the boundaries of slopestyle and Big Air innovation – and it's sending shockwaves through the industry. Blessed with natural style and air control, Rocco is stacking medals by unleashing trick inventions like his frontside 1800 Bloody Dracula grab and mind-boggling Rubix Flip, rotated along multiple axes.
He clinched Big Air bronze in his X Games debut at X Games Aspen 2025 and secured a spot on New Zealand's Olympic roster on the strength of several FIS World Cup podiums. The secret sauce? Rocco is coached by his father, former national champ and late 1990s trailblazer, who helps with stylish trick selection and mental strength under pressure.
From this strong foundation, Rocco is carving out his own path by adding new tricks to snowboarding's lexicon. Fans across the world already know: When Rocco drops in, you might just see something that's never been done before!
