A few weeks back a clip from Russia called Bonus dropped online and we were pretty blown away by this kid who was just taking an indoor park apart. Curious, our interests piqued about this mysterious G'ed-up-from-the-feet-up Russki, we asked him Who Are Ya?! Who Are Ya?! Turns out this mad rail technician is named Denis Leontyev and he is one hungry young wolf. Scroll down and find out more about Denis, check the pix & flix and remember his name, cuz this kid is taking over. Denis Leontyev, Who Are Ya?! Who Are Ya?!

My homies from Saint Petersburg (where I'm actually from) and some new-school skiers.
Denis the rail contortionist

I'm not a mad fan of any one person but I like the riding of the Technine crew.
Who are your enemies?
I don't know but it seems to me that most people don't like me cuz I wear really baggy clothing, haha!

Who are your sponsors?
Academy, Apo bindings, 32, LRG, Dakine, Skullcandy, Lil Kings. But I'd like to let you guys know that Russian sponsorship is different than in Europe and the States. I only get flowed gear but no actual paycheck or travel budget. My sponsors promised me that they will give me money next season so I can go abroad to ride in your parks and participate in your contests, I hope that will come true!
