who
do you wish would sponsor you?
BURTON! I have a lot of respect for burton!
What
gear do you think should be improved for snowboarding?
Bindings!
they have come a long way! but they need improvement! Lots
of bindings still have these "pressure points" and
they can be really distracting when riding!

The Backflip Method!!! it looks so nice!
What
trick are you working on?
the backside 540 indy and the backflip.
What's
your motto? "STICK
IT THE FIRST TIME, THEN GO BACK FOR SECONDS!" |
How/When
did you start snowboarding?
In 1999 I saw it on tv and noticed the men were so much better
than the women. That's when I had a goal!
I hope to boost "female snowboarding" a bit! I think
it is up to all us females to boost up to men's ability. Just
cause we are girls, doesn't mean we don't rock! :0) and we have
to prove it. |
Do
you have a coach?
Nope, I taught myself everything... every once and a while
I will find someone on the slopes to give some advice
on a trick of some-sort... but other than that... nothing
official. |

bike, mountainboard, and a lot of
balance boarding!
