Why did you choose to ride for EMPIRE? Simon told me about his idea and I liked the sound of it. He wants the same thing in a glove that I want so its working out well.

What do you think of Simon Dumont as a rider? Simon is for sure one of the best riders right now, he owns the pipe and is a really fun person to shred with.

Who’s your favorite athlete outside of skiing? Ryan Sheckler - This guy is my hero, He is pretty much everything in the skateboarding world that I want to be in the ski world.
