Favorite Skullcandy Headphones when riding
Icon 2 – Solid construction, great sound quality, Iphone controls and fits under my helmet… everything I need.
Favorite Skullcandy Headphone you wear while your not on the hill
Skullcrusher, blocks out unwanted noise and pounds the bass into your skull!!!
What was good about this year for you?
I got to diversify my skiing and compete in all 3 disciplines (Pipe, Slope, Big Air) and improve in all areas as well as some solid comp results and a bit of filming with Level 1 at the year end park shoots.
Plans for this summer?
Coaching at Momentum Ski Camps and 3 weeks down under in New Zealand at Cardrona.
Plans for next year?
Follow the competition circuit for all disciplines and make top 3 ranking in Pipe as well as top 5 in slope (AFP rankings)
How does listening to your favorite music motivate you?
It helps a lot at comps by taking your mind off of any stresses you may have and just lets you do what you need to do.
Any shout outs?
My coach Trennon Paynter for helping me get where I am. Jimbo for being the man. My parents who’ve supported me all along. And all my other sponsors for helping me live the dream.
