Do you warm up each day before you ride? If so, what do you do to warm up? yes, i stretch a lot because i have bad knees and i learned from my mistakes of not stretching. then ill start out on some easy, not hard tricks that always are in the "comfort zone" then i work my way up to my "non-comfort zone".

How keep in shape in season? How keep in shape for snowboarding out of season? i play soccer. i am on a travel team that goes all over michigan and sometimes out of michigan so i can keep in shape. but don't get the idea that i want to be a professional in soccer because i don't. i am fully dedicated to the sport and i love it. i have 100% percent back-up from my parents that help me out a ton.

Fave riding buddies? ohhhhhhh yes! my best friend bubba litwiller is an awsome friend to ride with. he always pushes me to my limit and farther becuase he knows how good i can be.

Who do you admire in snowboarding or outside and why? i admire professionals of all sports because i know that they have sacreficed many things to be where they are today.

Do you ever get bummed out about your riding, and why? no, im never bummed because i am mostly in my "non-comfort zone" all the time so i never have low expectations. and if i do fall on a trick that i know i can do, i'll just blow it off, but if i'm playing "snow" which is like pig for snowboarding, (i'm sure you know this, but if not there it is)
How do you fix it? do it until i know that i did it to my fullest potential and style.

Do you use visualization, and if so, how? yes i do use visualization, i see my self do all tricks right before i do them so i don't forget on the runway towards the obsticle.

What safety equipt. do you wear, use for snowboarding? i use a helmet and i use to wear wristgaurds until i know learned how to fall.

If you're pro, when did you decide to “go pro” — and what happened to get you there? i am not pro. but i would like to be.
