A while ago there was a rumour that Kevin Rolland was going to be leaving Rossignol. It was a rumour that no one could believe as he’s been there for so long but it appears the rumour was to come true. With his contract up he chose to leave Rossignol for another brand. That brand is yet to be announced but I’m pretty sure he’ll make the right choice.
He won 4 Winter X Games gold medals during his 8 year stint with them and I can’t imagine Xavier Bertoni without his pal! Kevin is easily one of the biggest names in skiing right now so I wish him all the best! Here’s the press release:
After eight years at Rossignol and magic 4 gold medals at the Winter X-Games, a page turns now with Kevin Rolland. Discovered in 2004, with his friend Xavier Bertoni, Kevin has grown up and sporting exploded with us to give birth to one of the biggest names and best track record of the scene Freestyle International including four gold medals at the X Superpipe. Kevin is one of the few athletes to push all the boundaries, inventing new tricks, to impose his style. It is now a reference for many. Respect!
Despite our desire to continue this great collaboration, Kevin chose to take a different path. We respect his decision and wish him good luck sincerely for the rest of his career.
