He grew up in Vernon, started snowboarding. snowboarded for 11 years. Actually got sponsored by burton, landed one of the first 1080s in the 01 x games qualis on a snowboard but failed to make an appearance in the real xgames, then switched over to skiing a few years ago, he won the us open last year with a sw 1440, and he was dialing down his normal cork 1440s this summer up in whistler, and I never saw him ride away, but he was definitely going for sw 1620s on the 40ft... he's been killing it in breck lately, and learned double front flips with simon dumont. (If you've been to keystone or breck recently then you've prolly seen simon locking down sw front) has anyone seen him ride away from the switch double front???, ive seen him try it a few times and get close, but not ride away.
