What was your first snowboard? A Gnu Todd Schlosser 151, gifted to me by my cousin when I was 14. That board changed my life.
What was your first snowboard movie that got you hooked? Subjekt Haakonsen and The Brotherhood.
Scariest moment of the season? My last run in Haines, Alaska. I stepped out of the helicopter onto a ridge line about two feet wide and the snow collapsed. I thought I was about to drop into the 2000 ft shoot below toboggan-style with no sled, but was lucky enough to wrap my arms around the skid of the heli and self arrest. Hanging on for life. That was a trip.
Best trip? Haines, Alaska, with Gigi and Curtis. Nothing compares to AK.
One item you always have in your snowboard pants A lighter.
Besides snowboarding? The skateboard, drawing and painting, writing, bad habits, and surfing as much as possible.
Future plans? Shoot the moon.
