Why do you love/hate Snowboarding?
I love just being outside in the mountain or a city with my friends , I think thats the part I love the absolute most , snowboarding alone can be really great but it‘s always better when you can share the moment with someone. I’m not too sure what I hate about snowboarding . if I had to say anything its some of the weird little industry things , but that's whatever , pretty mellow .
How do you keep your passion for Snowboarding alive after all these years? What keeps you coming back each season?
By doing it my way and for myself , thing like the snowboard realms allow me to do what I want and express myself how i see fit .
Is filming/shooting a job or fun for you? Why?
Doing it with the snowboard realms and with friends is . i filmed for some big productions in the past and i didnt like it , I felt like i was a part of a money making scheme , where how i wanted to ride and who i was mattered less than how cool everyone thought i was , these days im enjoying most everything about shredding
How do you deal with big slams? Any mental preparation?
I say fuck
Do you feel fear? How do you handle it?
Everyone feels fear , sometimes you just have to put it in your back pocket and go. You just have to do it and then youre fine , chances are you wont die.
Do you have any ceremony/ritual before you enter a big jump or rail or drop something?
Nah
Are you a blue bird shredder only or uphill in all weather conditions?
I go up whenever , wind rain shine , unless its too expensive.
How do you close your boots? Tight, loose, open?
Little bit of a mix , usually pretty tight though
Sharp or round edges?
Yeah just a little detuning on the contact points and were good to go
Last word?
I have no idea what my last words will be . im hoping that they arent for a while
