Biography
‘Live it, love it.’
It’s this attitude, and his own unique representation of it, that makes Mikey so magnetic to those around him. In an industry frequently stereotyped for too-cool-for-anyone posturing, Mikey effortlessly creates a harmonious environment for all: from his superstar bros to the outcasts that never sat at the cool-kid table. What matters is real substance – the genuine, the positive, and the uncompromising.
On his snowboard, his personality is given a perfect channel for expression. Going beyond the cliche of merely ‘making it look easy,’ Mikey Rencz brings some of the very best progressive, urban finesse to the most hardcore backcountry terrain in the world, his vast backyard known to the world as British Columbia.
Mikey effortlessly creates a harmonious environment for all: from his superstar bros to the outcasts that never sat at the cool-kid table.
Each year, his segments in videos, made by the likes of Transworld, Burton, People, and the legendary Whiteout Films, take it up a notch and outdo themselves – bigger jumps and terrain, crazier spins, and the overall feel of a pro writing the best chapters in a major volume of work. When Mikey does find a break in the winter action, he doesn’t slow down, for the business of fun is just too important to skip.
On the surface, Mikey is every snowboarder’s snowboarder – a good times guy with a devotion to just partyin’ and stackin’ checks from sponsors. But in reality, Mikey is a consummate professional. He knows that someday the pro snowboard life has to end. But wherever he goes, there’s no doubt about it, his smile will remain and his theme will stick:
Live It, Love It. Yeah, Mikey!
