SIA

This year I got to go to SIA snow show! Only got one day but I think it went well. I met a lot of companies and think I made some good connections. I did get one new company called Shred Ready, I got a new Helmet. I really like it the adjustable part in the back and the magnetic clip is awesome. It will be nice to not have to fix my helmet when riding because it flew back. I got to go with my friend Jared who I’m also riding for. He owns Riders Anonymous; he helped to make most of the connections possible. I’m happy I moved to Colorado. Can’t wait to hear back from the other companies and see what they can offer me. Hopefully I do great in the Canadian Open so prove I’m worth it. I also just received an invite to Norway for the World Snowboarding Championships. Will see if I end up going but feels good to be invited.

New Season


This season started out slow but good. Not a lot of snow here in summit, Co. however we have started to get some! It was cold enough to make snow so the park was pretty awesome. Got to practice a lot and getting ready to step it up. I went to the first two competitions of the season, a Burton Pro-test and a Rev Tour. The pro-test went well got second! The course was pretty fun also. Mammoth was hurting a lot for snow though, never thought I’d have to dodge rocks and joeys’ at the same time. North Star wasn’t doing as bad but not as good as CO. it was fun though lots of practice time. The competition didn’t go as well but guess it’s hard to slow down! It was a very fun trip and hope my next one to Calgary, AB for the Burton open, goes as well or better. Can’t wait though! The season is starting to come together.
