 Where ya from? I'm from Minturn, CO Where ya at? Still in Minturn, CO Birthdate? August 7, 1987 Years riding? This will be my 12th Dream day? In my dream day, I will wake up early after 10 hours of sleep and do yoga. Eat a delicious breakfast consisting of a toasted onion bagel with cream cheese, strawberries and a banana, and a hazelnut latte. Head up to the mountain around 8:30 (no traffic or delays) and meet up with my brother Dylan and a few friends to ride powder until my legs can't possibly make another slash turn. Then I will magically teleport to a beautiful warm beach with my favorite people (and my two dogs) for a few hours where I will read, write extremely interesting and significant things in my journal, and gorge myself on a tropical feast. Maybe I will catch a couple waves when I feel like it. I will not get pummeled by big scary waves even once. I will watch an amazing colorful sunset to the sounds of Slightly Stoopid (who will teleport to the beach to play a set live) before I teleport back to my family home. I will eat a chocolate dessert. Then I will watch really really good movies until I fall asleep. And I will get another 10 hours. I really don't think there's enough hours in a day to do this… and I know teleportation scientists are slacking so we can't teleport yet. But a dream day doesn't have to be realistic. Goals for this season? Ride more backcountry and park! BS 9s and cab 7s in pipe. Other sponsors? Flow, Helly Hansen, Rip It, Copper Mountain, US Snowboarding Any film projects? Not yet. Inspirations? Captain Jack Sparrow, anyone driven to live a low- or no-impact lifestyle, Switters, Jim Smith, and the people I ride with all the time such as my bro, Jake, and the US Team. Best day this past season? So many good ones… If I had to pick one it would be powder riding at Squaw the day after that huge storm they got with the US Team (including Ricky Bower who is too good of a snowboarder to be a coach. But I'm very glad he's mine.) Coffee or juice? If you held a knife to my throat and made me pick one, juice. But I love coffee too. What would you do if you were not snowboarding all the time? Be a terribly depressed pirate. |
