I like snowboarding because I can meet people with a lot of talent and a lot is possible. My plans for this year include trying to do a lot of contests in the USA as well as Japan.  I just want to ride, ride, ride!  I also want to get a lot of photos on street hand rails and backcountry spots. If I wasn’t snowboarding, I would be skateboarding and surfing a lot, if I lived close to the beach.
