So much style. Easily one of my favorite riders. He always has a segment that blows me away. I feel like he should be skiing with Stept.

I've watched this more times than I can count, one of those edit's that got me through my season ending (5/6 month long) concussion. He's the nicest guy too, super modest.

Talked to him a bit after WE at IF3 and he was so glad that I told him that his segment was nuts. He even asked me and my friends if we were coming to the party. One of the nicest pro I've talked to
