Describe how you first got interested in snowboarding: Clearly it was through the black snow/and mogul monsters, but i saw it on a trip to Whistler when i was ten with my pops and my bro, i just loved the fact that
they had a park and it seemed so fun. a few years later he cracked and got
us some private labels, and it's been downhill ever since, hahaha

What keeps you snowboarding today? All the things i've done, and everything i dream of doing seems reachable now more than ever, so it's motivating to no that my work is paying off. Also being a part of the ripzone team offers alot of diverity in the riders you've got guys in all aspects of riding, then
there is Dennis Bannock who i rarely get to ride with but see him all the
time killing it and he is a huge inspration to my riding here in Canada

What do you get up to when you aren't snowboarding? Mostly get together with friends and have some good laughs. Once in awhile it's fun to go to the club, and holla at some ladies.

Describe the perfect day:
Winter- Timmy Ho's, High speed quads, and lots of laps pow and park
Summer- sit out front of mountain riders and peep the crowds talk smack, chat up the girls, not that i get anywhere

Have you had any injuries or situations that have made you re-think your lifestyle? I've been hurt yes, but shreddin is all i got so i don't stress to hard on anything else

Contests and freeriding....describe likes and dislikes of both: Contests are awesome, to see your friends and try to stomp a line and take it all. presure is good it definetly lets you know where you stand. Freeriding is dope when you rip down no one is there to see it but it wasn't about the sight it was all feeling, scared, stoked, heart beating faster then your unhealthy body should be handling.
What keeps you snowboarding today? I thought i just answered that (see three questions

Where do you want to be in 10 years? Way to far. anywhere the life i live now takes me in that time i suppose.
