Hagen Kearney

THRASH Man!

Hagen was Born in Buffalo, NY; He moved to his natural habitat of Telluride, CO in 2000. He began competing in freestyle and started to focus a lot on slope-style, thats when he broke onto the scene at grand prixs and Burton opens. After a knee injury in 2010, Hagen fell into Snowboarder-cross when the US Team came to Telluride for a training camp and for the World Cup stop. He was invited to ride with them and found his true talents resided in SBX . Fast forward a few years and you will now see Hagen on US Team making appearances at the winter olympics. Park rats; don’t worry, Hagen is still riding park and shredding backcountry with his friends wether it be filming or mobbing on a pow day.

“I love to also skate and play live shows with my metal band, Dogs Of Liberty. Oh and nothing is better than getting on my Harley and riding until the sun goes down. Rock on!” -Hagen
