- Your favorite Trick?
Satoflip or just a good ol Method
- Your favorite Trick into the BAGJUMP?
Double cork FS 10
- Next Trick you want to learn?
Get more consistent on double cork BS 10s.
- How did BAGJUMP help on your Tricks?
BagJump allowed me to correctly learn the dynamics of several double corked tricks without the consequences of a snow landing. I could never have had that many chances to refine my technique on any single jump into powder.
- What do you like most about BAGJUMP practice?
How fast you can get back up and try your trick again- you can just session, make mistakes, and just run back up and try again until you get it right.
- What is the best way to learn new Tricks?
Visualize first, progress through the more basic moves so that your pop and the way you set your tricks is correct, and then go for it- especially on the BagJump.
- How many injuries did you have in your career?
Only about 4 major ones.
- Explain how BAGJUMP can help to prevent major injuries?
Snowboarding has gotten to the point where progression has pretty high consequences. BagJump allows you to dial in your big tricks on a real snow jump so that you can refine your technique enough to be confident of landing on your feet when you step up to the real thing.
- What are your plans for this season?
Ride pow, compete in the North Face Masters and Baker Banked Slalom, land my first double cork on snow after learning it this summer on BagJump at Camp of Champions!
