Bio
Owen Pick took up snowboarding on a trip to Colorado and soon after followed up with a snowboard instructor’s course.
His first adaptive race came in 2014 and he quickly impressed, becoming part of the British team and picking up an eighth-place finish at the 2015 X Games.
In 2017 Owen claimed his first World Championship medal when he finished second behind Finland’s Matti Sur-Hamari in Big White, Canada.
Owen competed for ParalympicsGB at the PyeongChang 2018 Paralympic Winter Games - the first time the country has had snowboard representation at that level. He finished ninth in the snowboard cross SB-LL2 and ninth in the banked slalom.
