Bluebird and freshies - what’s the schedule? What happen’s? What gear? When filming powder in Tahoe… wake up at 5am, eat quick breakfast at hotel, drive half hr to gas station, get food and gas up truck and sled. Drive 45 minutes to parking lot. Unload sled, drive sled 1/2 hr into backcountry, do some pat downs, or quick builds first thing. Then spend about 4 hours building a jump, hit the jump, get worked or get a shot. Then drive sled to lot, drive truck to hotel, getting home around 830pm, shower, eat quick, get to bed by 930pm, set alarm for 5am. Repeat.

Urban trip: Meet in the lobby of hotel with gear around 8am, go find a rail, set up usually about two hrs, hit the rail/wall/gap/etc… get worked or get a shot, get lunch, go to the next spot, build for two hrs, hit it for about two or three hrs depending on the trick, get dinner, then rest a bit and wait for businesses to close, go out around 10pm, set up a jib for two hours, hit it, usually done around 2 am, but sometimes go until 6am…. drive back to hotel. Eat gas station food, cause its the only thing open at 5am… go to sleep.

Park Day: Wake up in mammoth around 10am, stretch, eat some breakfast at home or the Good Life Cafe. Go up to the hill around 11am. Ride the park until about 2pm. Get home, have a snack, then check emails etc… Go to dinner at Sushi Rei, watch a movie or go have some drinks with some friends. If its spring, get down and go skate the park for a few hours, then dinner.

Vacation Day: Wake up in San Clemente around 10am with my girlfriend Saori. Go to Antuans Cafe for breakfast, then go to the beach relax, surf, and play guitar. Come back to house, go eat at Carbanara’s or Nobu Suchi, go skating at Tave’s house with some of the homies, then chill at Tave’s, maybe party or go see a movie. Then sleep.

If you weren’t a pro snowboarder, what would your work day be? I don’t know…. depends what I did?? I would like to do something with music, so it could be similar, but maybe having a job in the industry too, then it would be more 9 to 5 I guess.

What’s wrong with snowboarding? People feel that progression happens when we do the same tricks but bigger and bigger… I think we need to get more creative.

What’s right with snowboarding? Its the funnest thing ever.

Sex, drugs or rock ‘n roll? All three please :)
