At first, I thought he didn't have any kind of game. But after we played a little bit of pick-up, I saw that he had a nice shot and he had some moves up his sleeve.
First and foremost, I've realized that I've been snowboarding for many years, and the biggest high that I get is when I really cut myself off from society, to really know the mountain. The high that I get from hiking up these mountains is a much bigger challenge than taking a helicopter to the top. I have to put more into it, but I get a lot more excitement out of it.
Last year they washed our trucks but they did a really bad job with it.
I watched the first game and it looked like fun, so I got involved the second year.
This is my senior year; I've got that extra bit of motivation.
Protect Our Winters is this foundation I started in 2007, and it focuses on slowing down climate change by bringing the winter sports community together and having a strong voice to make change and slow down climate change.
Man, the feeling of the make is something that I can’t put to words, it’s the very best feeling in the world. I just chase that, it’s a very real feeling and straight up, I am addicted to it.
In the past people would say, "I can only do this world-class snowboarding if I have a helicopter." Actually, if you're committed to it, willing to put a bunch of energy into it, then you can do it under your own power.
Life's a little bit too crazy for my liking right now.
