Home Mountain: Watterville, New Hampshire

Favorite Song on iPod: That is a tough one it changes a lot, but right now I would say either Youth Brigade “I hate my Life”, The Beatles “In my Life”, or any Clash song.
Why the Session? The Session is one of the most exciting contests of the year in terms of the creativity in the setup, the riders it attracts and the attention it commands.  I always look forward to see what fresh new setup the builders have going on- it’s like no other contest.
If you could Session anything? I think that a session on anything in the backcountry is awesome.  Other than that, I have the most fun sessioning rails and jumps during the summers at High Cascade.

Why the Session? I'm coming to the Session because I've always noticed what a sick setup there is every year and how many awesome riders take part.
If you could Session anything?  If I could 'session' anything it would be a freshly groomed park on a sunny day with all my friends.

Home Mountain: Breckenridge, Colorado
Rides: Goofy
Sponsors: Sims Outerwear, Unity Snowboards, Breckenridge, Smith, Nikita

Favorite Song on iPod: Too many to name, something by Le Tigre maybe.
Why the Session? It is one of the most fun and innovative competitions out there. There is a really good vibe and it allows you to be creative.  The format of the Session inspires progression instead of sticking to a safe contest run which is the norm in other contest formats.
If you could Session anything? Everything and anything.  I love that snowboarding allows you to look at the mountain, or urban features with and open mind and often the best sessions come when and where you may least expect them.
