A monumental Snowboarding moment that you’ll never forget? Learning my first backflip. I had been trying for a few weeks just slamming straight to my back and then one day I got it all the way around. I spent the rest of the day lapping the jump because I was so scared I was going to lose it and have to start over. I probably did like 30 backflips that day.

Biggest Fear? Bad car crash, centipedes

Favorite Video Part of All Time: That | Forum Snowboards 2006 (Travis Kennedy part)

Biggest Inspiration: The Trollhaugen crew

Steel or Powder? Steel

Go To Trick on Rails and Jumps? For rails it depends on the day but front lip sameway or front 1 pretz 3 just because they are feel good tricks. For jumps probably a front 3 or a method or a backflip.

Least favorite trick? Front board pretz unless its proper
