At 54, he is one of the oldest professional racers, often competing with people half his age, but that hasn’t stopped him from keeping his spot among the top 20 racers in the world, and after hip replacement surgery last year, he said this could be one of his best seasons in a long time.

The near Park City Hospital, his elbow pads were lined with zebra-print material and he wore black and white checkered slippers. Price made his way to the States in 2002, hoping to qualify for the Great Britain snowboard team to compete in the sport’s Olympic debut. He didn’t make the cut, but he did fall in love with Park City. He applied for a green card two years later, and to his own surprise, earned one through the EB-1 “Einstein” visa – the same type that Melania Trump was granted, which requires exceptional skill or acclaim within a field. “I just applied for a joke,” he said. But he received a letter asking for more evidence. “Because I was able to give them TV appearances, articles, race results, I got accepted,” he said. “So in 2008 I came back, had my green card for five years, then in 2013 I became a U.S. citizen.” Now, he works as a snowboard instructor for Park City Mountain in the winter and travels to slalom skateboarding competitions in the summer. For those not familiar with slalom skateboarding, it is a lot like alpine ski racing.

Please see Weaving, B-4 Wednesday, July 25, 2018 REGIONAL FORECAST FIVE DAY FORECAST FOR PARK CITY ALMANAC rows of cones, which are arranged at different intervals to create either a tight slalom, slalom, or giant slalom course. The different race formats require different board set ups, and Price typically competes on his signature board, the Paul Price roadster, produced by Pavel, with different truck placements and wheel sizes. Sometimes racers will have to navigate more than 100 cones on a course, at speeds up to 35 miles an hour. On Saturday, during his practice, Paul demonstrated a run that he said fell between a regular and giant slalom. He pushed off from the top of the hill, then started to weave on his board — this is all intentional. Because of the way the trucks are set up, racing boards don’t get speed wobbles like street boards do. When he reached the first cone, he was already turning at the appropriate interval, and continued on his path as if the cones were incidental to his course. As he threaded between them, he pumped his arms almost like a sprinter, which he said allows racers to accelerate through the turns. As one might expect, crashes are frequent in slalom skateboarding, Price said, especially when courses are improperly prepared.
