How did you get into snowboarding?

When I was 6 my parents asked if I wanted to try snowboarding and I said yeah , and ever since then I’ve been riding.

Where are you currently living?

I’m living in Woronora Heights with my family and in winter I live at Jindabyne which is sick.

What have you been up to so far this winter??

Just training at the snow, doing gymnastics with NSWIS and riding around with friends, doing comps and practicing new moves on the tramp. Got to hang out with all the Rip Curl team at the Ripcurl Freeride Pro but I was too young to compete so they let me have a few runs at the Throwdown Rip Curl event under lights at Thredbo, I also snuck into the V.I.P section at the SnoShow with my friends when the security guy wasn't looking.

Where is the best place you’ve ridden?

Copper Mountain Colorado or Big Bear California. They are both awesome. The weather was really good and the pipes and parks are the best but they have good powder runs as well. I saw Shaun White at Copper and we shared the same pipe but there was so many guys there I had to snake them to get to the front but you can do that when you are little.

What are some of your new fave things at the moment?

Hang out with my friends and catching up on all the goss I’ve missed, surfing around home, looking forward to going to Queensland in October school holidays.

Have you any plans for next winter?

I have been picked for the half pipe development team again to go to Colorado but we are just going to have fun shredding with friends overseas and good in comps.

Songs in your head?
