Is snowboarding ready for the Olympics? Kind of. It is getting so big and growing so fast. I just hope it doesn’t make it look stupid. People are training hard and it’s rad.
If you didn’t snowboard what would you be doing right now? Going to college, studying sports medicine.
What do you do when you’re not snowboarding? Work out at the gym a lot, I have a trainer when I am home. I like to hang out. Weights, swim, run, mountain bike. I like skateboarding, and hanging with my pals, riding horses and singing country music.
Who most influences your style? Michele Taggart, Todd Richards, Aurelie Sayres, Peter Line, Hillary Maybery.
Who do you ride with the most? Aurelie. We have good times together. I like riding with Hillary, Barrett, and Marcus.
