Boyd Easley, 22 Boyd used to be one of the top mogul skiers in the world. But he discovered freeskiing in 1999, and retired from downhill racing forever.
A year later, Detroit-born Boyd placed fourth in the Winter X Games and moved to Truckee, CA. 'Now I travel to film ski videos in places like Sweden, where the girls say, 'Ooh, California— you're like Brad Pitt!'' says Boyd with a big grin.
And though he's clearly not there to shoot anything remotely like Ocean's Eleven or Fight Club, Boyd doesn't bother correcting the girls' assumptions. A month before our shoot, Boyd had screwed up his knee doing a jump.
So while he had to lay off the skiing, he indulged in one of his loves— shopping for belts, including his new favorite, a snakeskin one with metal rivets. 'But anything past 100 bucks, I'm like, 'Uh, it's just a belt.'' Agreed.
