IF YOU COULD PICK FOUR RIDERS (alive or dead) TO SNOWBOARD WITH, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHERE WOULD YOU GO? Craig Kelly at Baldface…that would be legendary. Other than that any three people that share the same respects and beliefs about the mountains. I know there is to many to list.

WORST LIE YOU EVER TOLD YOUR MOM? I was supposed to be going on a four day wrestling trip. I packed the wrestling bag with all my snowboard gear and spent the next four days at the ski hill. The school called her the next week wondering where I was she was surprised. It was well worth it.

WORST LIE YOUR MOM EVER TOLD YOU? She would bye me a vehicle if I graduated. It was a total psych out.

MAC OR PC? MAC, I need every bit of user friendliness I can get.

WOULD YOU RATHER BE SMART & UGLY OR DUMB & BEAUTIFUL? Either one would be a nice change from ugly and dumb.

WHAT’S YOUR WORST HABIT? Not flushing it can be pretty disgusting when you come back around.

SUMMER TIME: SKATE, SURF, OR RIDE? Freeride mountain biking. I just got hooked last summer. It’s super fun.

Despite the fact that Lib Tech was the major sponsor of the event, an aspiring Arbor team rider and northwest sub rep named Brice Niebuhr took the Biggest Air Championship riding a 2009 Draft. “The concept of the Holy Oly, from the beginning, has been to have a gathering of like-minded snowboarders come together to celebrate the past, present and future of Northwest snowboarding,” says event creator, Krush Kulesza. Congratulations Brice, you’re one step closer to being on the Arbor skateboard team…snowboard team…skateboard team…hum. We’ll have to figure that one out.
