Describe how you first got interested in snowboarding: I started skiing at the age of two. Then I almost fell off a chairlift craning my neck to see these two dudes shreddoggin at Dagmar. My homies Jeff, Tom, Drae, Rick , Matt and my little bro Mark used to ride every weekend. This was before sidecut and camber so carving was non existent.
What keeps you snowboarding today?
Progression..Trips with my bro's.. I guess I'm addicted...
What do you get up to when you aren't snowboarding? Hanging with my Wife, Skateboarding, watching movies, seeing the odd concert, drawing ugly pictures.
Describe the perfect day:
Winter- Its Sunny. Theres four feet of fresh, empty liftlines and its just me and my bro's.
Summer- Its also sunny but theres a breeze. I spend a few hours at the beach relaxing , at about 7pm I go to the skatepark with the oldtimers until dark then I go home and BBQ a huge Steak. play some Backgammon and pass out.
Have you had any injuries or situations that have made you re-think your lifestyle? Yes I have... To all the youngsters out there Only think about the make.. Never think about crashing.. Self Control is a good thing...
Contests and freeriding....describe likes and dislikes of both:
Freeriding can be dangerous and I dislike fighting for lines with Powhounds those dudes can be Assholes. I like haveing a good day with my bro's dinkin around.
Contests are a good place to see your friends that you don't see on the regs. Like the Air N Style in Calgary I get to see the 138 Jonas and Hardingham, as well as Wade and Sandy Mac. THAT CONTEST RULES!!!!
