Tina Basich
Tina Basich (born June 29, 1969) is an American snowboarder, originally from Sacramento, California.[1][citation needed] Basich began snowboarding in 1986, when the sport was still new. She is noted for winning a variety of competitions from the 1980s onward, and for being the first woman to successfully land a backside 720 in competition, at the 1998 Winter X Games Big Air.[citation needed] She also played a part in the design of outerwear and snowboards for women, including one of the first women's pro-models for SIMS Snowboards, alongside Shannon Dunn-Downing.[citation needed] Basich was also one of the founders of Boarding for Breast Cancer, and hosted the girl action sports TV show GKA.[citation needed]
In the late 1990s, Basich dated musician Dave Grohl for a couple of years. Basich ended the relationship after discovering his infidelity.[2] In 2003, she wrote an autobiography titled Pretty Good for a Girl.[3]
