Why did you start riding? I started riding because i was so into
skateboarding. I skated everyday as much i as i could and then all of
a sudden my Mom got me a snowboard for my birthday. I got hooked from
then on. I grew up mostly in this town called Mt. Pleasant and we had
this lil jewel of a spot to ride with great snow that didn't cost
anything. We would all pile in the van and my mom would give us
shuttle runs all day. There was a giant loop road that you could drive
up on top get dropped off then ride down and get picked up again. It
was amazing!!!
What are your interests? I'm interested in lots of stuff right now,
i'm really trying to figure out what i want to get into as well so i'm
trying a bunch of stuff. Lately I've really been into a lot of
electronic music. My old roommate is a DJ and he really got me turned
onto it. We would sit and mess with his setup for hours!
I love to ride bikes and be outdoors. This summer I've been doing a
lot of hiking and exploring. We found some sweet huge waterfalls in
central Utah that are amazing! Snowmobiling too! I love that shizz
anytime I'm not snowboarding you can find me on my sled!! So fun!!!
I'm trying to get my skateboarding back as well, but it sucks because
i just don't know anyone that skates anymore at least where i'm
currently working.
Are you a Nerd? Yes, I love the internet and my computer. I'm a member
of every possible social networking platform out there. I used to play
video games way to much... kinda lost my gf that way. I played the
trumpet in middle school and love all sorts of lil electronic
gadgets!!
