What are your plans for this season regarding to the faction collective film shoots?

You're not only skilled at rails but an insane jump skier as well. Would you ever compete Slopestyle?

Who is your favorite big-mountain skier? (Beside the possibility of Candide)

Will you come to Tahoe this year?

do you feel like your Begging for change segment kind of flew under the radar ? It's one of my favorite urban segments and I feel like it doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

I met you and John Ware getting off the plane from SLC when you were headed to Costa Rica (or somewhere like that)so do you remember me!?

How does it feel to be in my opinion, on one of the most stacked teams in the game right now?

-My favorite moment from being on the Faction team was probably our team shoot out in La Clusaz last winter. The resort we were at was super fun and we had good weather pretty much the whole time we were there.


-The scariest urban feature was a down flat closeout that I hit in Beggin for change. We joked about trying it for a couple nights and then ended up hitting it.

All the time. Urban can be the most frustrating thing in the world. So many factors have to line up to get a shot. A lot can go wrong and you definitely leave features without getting the shot you want very frequently.

-We got big plans for this years Faction webisodes. Got a couple different trips planned and I think we should be putting out some really cool episodes this season.

-I used to do slopestyle contests but kinda got over it after spending so much time traveling to ski park. I really enjoy exploring new places and filming gives me that option. I would like to do a contest this year but with all the new regulations with points and everything its hard to get into anything.

- T hall and Pep. They both ski some really impressive lines

-I dont have any plans to come to Tahoe but you never know!

Definitely a litle frustrating. It's pretty easy to get mad and break a couple poles throughout the season.
