Meet Dima Luchkin. At 13-years-old, this Ukrainian snowboarder is living with his family in Innsbruck, Austria, as refugees of war. He’s not your average kid, with skills far beyond his years that have him on a path to potentially become the first Ukrainian rider to reach the international spotlight.
In this episode of MY TURN, our host Selema Masekela, travels to the Alps and interviews Dima’s family to hear their story and learn about the peace they have found through snowboarding.

About MY TURN
You can tell a lot about a rider by the way they turn. The tracks we each leave behind tell a story, saying, “This is how I do it.” But when we ride, we’re not always on a board, and our turns take many forms. MY TURN gives people from Burton’s community a blank canvas to take their turn, make their mark, and tell their story.
