What inspires you to compete?
It`s not what, but more who! My grandmother before she passed away always told me to chase my dreams. Otherwise one could develope regret. I promised here three days before she was passed away that I`d try 200 percent to make it in snowboarding and not give up when the going got tough!
Describe your style...
I like to go really big and do massive rotations, almost overshooting sometimes. Style is the most key point in riding to me, so it depends on how I feel I need to express myself!
Do you train? What does your schedule look like?
Yes, at this level I find it neccesary and fun. I spend three hour every other day decated to training during the off season. during the season I cut it in half. My work out is inspired by Les Miles training called body pump, I just do it for 3 hour instead of 1!
Music?
I have an I-pod and it is the best thing to mix with riding. Pretty much I listen to all genres and 80`s ol school is on my playlist a bunch!!
Do you like to travel? What's your best (clean) road trip story?
Raod trips are the best you always learn something new about yourself. We took a trip to Mammoth but ended up in Tahoe instead. It started out with us buying a $200 honda accord that ran like a champ. The Utah police impound it becasue of artile something or anther. We had to stay in this hotel and the chick we met at the front desk was awesome! Her and her Husband took us to the greyhound station which we bought tickets on over the phone. It ended up being the wrong one and we spent 12 hours hanging with truck drivers and other random people! We were showing them our videos and stuff. They were stoked and had a better understanding of riding and living the dream.
