Who do you Ride For?
 The voice inside my head sreaming SHRED, my homie's who cant shred anymore, obviuos tallies and fyve snowboards

Lets start with a little history where your from?
 I grew up in wagga wagga skating with mates for many years got a big krew still down there, pretty mad bunch, have the lot covered from wake, skate, bmx, moto x everyone's doing stuff but most just love to party now.
 
Where's the best place to ride?
 Havent travelled extensively or riden many o.s resorts but the sierra nevada's in C.A have topped my list.
 
Whys that?
 Resorts around like bear valley is the pow mecca for me and have some epic freeride and access to backcountry, get a sled plus the rest and the local tip and your on. From bear you can see kirkwood resort which holds the record for most snow fallen in the U.S in a season. Talkin POW.

How many years have you been boarding?
 First season was 05 at buller

Tell me about your job?
After school i was cabinet making for my dads business, we make custom handcrafted furniture from Australian hardwoods, its a good job but it was time to get out of wagga. Now i work at canterbury racetrack in sydney as a greenkeeper, early starts but its good work and i enjoy it.

Do you like to compete?
 The more i compete the more i like it, you just have to have a crack and ride your style, its a good feeling stomping something sweet in a comp gets me amped.
 
What is your best result?
 none really, went ok in an unsponsered rail jam at ess boardstore in erina this year and won some outterwear for 2nd place, its all good experience.
 
What's best move on and off the snow fields?
 Straight out the swisher box

What your style eg. jibber, pipe, freeriding and park riding? What da Jizz?
 well riding buller kinda forces you to smash rails n alot of em so my style's definately moulded around jibbing in the park i guess, MFM  nollie steez off everything i can, getting more into jumping but if theres pow finding those freeride features and building kickers is what im about, love the cliffdrops pillow pow lines double nubs rockdrops n stepdowns... i like it all but dont ride much pipe.

Best pick up line?lip slide my rail ill nose press your box

Have you ever been injured from snowboarding? Yeah broken wrist (first one for perisher 04 season) claim to fame did it hucking a 3 off some gay 1 ft hit, full punter steez ha ha umm broken thumb to

How the fuk do you handle down time?? staight out the swisher box... nah i dunno play skate 2 alot and stay away from shred vids and your mates talking up the day you missed... ring your mates you never see and do all that stuff your too lazy to normally do

Do you ever snowboard drunk?
 not intentionally but it happens, usually pretty rubbish on it after a few

Who was your most influential snowboarders as you grew up.kevin jones and MFM probly

What's the best movie you've seen?
 i hate this question i dont know depends what your in the mood for really, finger on tha trigger shit like one love is sick but they get too gangsta/baller/bullshit on that shit, it aint right im into it but it goes too far, picture this is good, child support i really dont have a favourite and im too stinge to buy em
 
Is there anything that scares you about snowboarding? yeah for sure if not your not going hard enough. spinning at mach speed is scary, avalanches and watching punters hit features thats scary.
