So you’ve been riding for about seven years, how’d you get into it?

Actually, a girl in junior high got me into it.

I’ll assume she was good looking. How long have you been sponsored? Dreams of going pro?

Of course! I’ve been riding for Easyrider for the past two or three years.

What’s your favourite part of riding?

The freedom of it. You get to the top of the chair, plug in your headphones, and just ride.

What do you listen to when you ride?

If I’m hitting rails and park, I like gangsta rap, well, just rap I guess. It has a nice beat to it and gets me stoked.

Are we talking Timbaland or Gangstarr?

I’m talking Snoop Dogg and Dre.

Ahh...A little west coast. What about when you are riding the mountain?

Free-riding? Mostly reggae or good electronica.

What was your best experience riding?

Riding on my birthday, June 30th... or riding with my friend Raj in New Zealand. It was pretty sick.

Counterpoint, what was your worst fall?

Reconstructive surgery on my wrist. Fell off a ledge into some stairs...straight backwards at Remarkables in New Zealand. I couldn’t ride for five months.

Let’s all be thankful for travel insurance.
