Some of my favorite quotes:
“I’m almost moving away more from the shit that I don’t enjoy.”
“When I’m snowboarding by myself and not with a huge crew is when I do some of my best stuff.”
“High Cascade is like the All Star Games for snowboarding”
“I learned (my style) from watching people like Travis Parker and Kyle Clancy.”
“You got to be ready to see stuff that you thought would never be possible.”
“One footed snowboarding is kind of like – we’ve raped this pretty hard right now.”
“In my head, I would love to say that backcountry would be a thing…but, my knees are getting bad.”
“I was hanging out with this kid… I was watching how he ate and I was like holy shit I eat exactly like you.”
“When it comes to loading a sled up, waking up at the butt crack of dawn and driving out to Whistler – that part of it kills me. I’d of been better off there back in the 90’s when snowboarders were perceived as lazy.”
“I want to snowboard on my terms and that’s not all that possible when you get paid to do it.”
On snowboard videos: “I probably have most of what’s come out since 1997”
“It’s gotten a little bit creepy how into it (tramp skating) I am… It’s something that I’ve gotten, in my eyes, better than snowboarding.”
“Bode is fucking good at everything…. he wont lose – you can’t even call him an alpha male, he’s a god amongst mortals.”
“I’ve built tramp skate followers on Instagram that don’t even know I snowboard.”
“My first job a High Cascade was the trampoline monitor.”
On video parts – “I pay attention to what been done and what has not been done.”
“It’s slightly hard to find a balance and only be slightly parkourish.”
“I see these Too Hard chicks hitting rails that I don’t want to hit.”
“If I find out that some of my friends don’t like dogs, we don’t hang out so much.”
“My parents were super into Seinfeld, they’d have Seinfeld parties.”
“George is probably my favorite character.”
“I turn into Larry David on an airplane… I feel like the middle seat should get both arm rests…”
“Chris and I want to give back to snowboarding – with Change That Tape.”
