Last week I raced in the NorAm Copper Cup races at Copper Mountain, CO. It was so much fun. The conditions were perfect for racing. I was happy with my riding over the two days of racing. Due to timing problems on Thursday the parallel giant slalom event turned into a two run giant slalom....

I just wrapped up two great weeks of training at Copper Mtn., Colorado with my America’s Snowboard Team Teammates. It has been cold and winter-like at Copper the past days, but the training has been excellent. I’m riding fast and having a lot of fun on my giant slalom board. We got a lot of...

I returned home last night from a week of slalom training and racing in The Netherlands. We had our slalom World Cup Opener in Landgraaf, Holland last Friday. Unfortunately I made a big mistake in the opening qualification run and my day got cut short. I’m a little bummed as I was riding strong, but...

I rode my mountain bike to Crested Butte last Saturday. What a sick ride. I climbed up Express Creek from Ashcroft to the top of Taylor Pass with my friends Tom and Jon. My pack was so heavy I thought I was going to explode. It’s a lot different riding your mountain bike with a...
