WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE PLACE ON EARTH TO RIDE? Snowmass because everyone is so awesome there and I can always find someone to ride with no matter what.

IF YOU COULD PICK FOUR RIDERS (alive or dead) TO SNOWBOARD WITH, WHO WOULD THEY BE AND WHERE WOULD YOU GO? Wallace Westfeldt, Scott Stevens, Travis Rice and Jake Blauvelt in some endless Japan pow.

WORST LIE YOU EVER TOLD YOUR MOM? I stopped lying after she figured out when I was lying or not.

SUMMER TIME: SKATE, SURF, OR RIDE? I am not the greatest surfer but I try to skate and ride as much as possible.

Please give us one or two interesting facts about your shop: The building used to be a chicken fryer warehouse. We retrofit the space to accommodate our shop, offices for our ecommerce operation, a backshop and an art gallery, all while keeping the environment in mind. We repurposed as many materials from the original space as possible and used recycled materials as much as possible.
