Besides Snowboarding are you into Surfing or Skating? I've surfed 3 times, got too excited I got up and forgot to turn. Skating - love it. JLA park all the time.
Top three Powder days? #1 - in Ag. 2 summers ago with my father and my friend Leo DeCarli who is from there. There were only like 8 inches but just being in a different country snowboarding with my dad was the best. #2 would be At Bromley Vermont a couple years ago when the US Open was going on. That's where I learned to snowboard. There was fresh snow, it was sunny, and I found places on that mountain I never found in 10 years. #3 would be the first time I shredded the dragon's tail at mammoth.

What tunes are playing in your Ipod? The Beatles, Bob Dylan, and the Marleys. Lots of stuff, it really depends on the mood.
What do you think about Urban/Street snowboarding? If there is lots of snow, no flat landings, no concrete stairs, and no kinky handrails then I love it. I get enough concrete on my skateboard.
Situation with the ladies? One woman for me.
You know the Spice girls are Back: Are you into it or more Rock? I think that's awesome. It'll remind me of eighth grade.

Your top three riders ever? That's the trick question in this interview isn't it? Honestly I could list no name friends or go with the standard household names. My top three are those who believe they have more fun snowboarding than anyone else.
FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND:
Rome Snowboards: Innovative marketing, tons of stoked kids, growth. Mammoth: A huge mountain and tiny town that can sometimes be constricting, home. Lots of cops. Kevin Jones: At one time ahead of his time. Sepultura: A band who's songs I never knew, spanish class. Jenna Jameson: Soft supple imagination. Best Pipe you ever Rode: The one at Windell's a few summers ago when it was under the bottom of the Palmer. It had these huge boulders in the transitions that got bigger as the summer went on. The shape was unbeatable.
What is your favorite magazine? Newsweek
Future plans? Snowboard my whole life, complete a college degree, learn to surf for real, get a motorcycle, build a house with a nice woodshop behind it and solar panels on top of it.
- Mammoth Backcountry
Dream Destination? An earth with snowy, cold winters in 30 years.
Do you live alone or with friends? Roommates - Cody Rosenthal, Shayne Pospisil, Nick Contenta, and (sometimes) lots of other people

What do you think about this snowboard-revolution.com: (Be honest) I like it a lot. More (different) snowboarding coverage is a great thing.
Thanks? Family and friends! Rome SdS, Brandon Richards and the Val Surf Family, Dennis Bellew, Cory Smith, Grenade, Poss construction, Chart House Mammoth Lakes, Sherman Poppen.
