The whole goal with this thing [Ultra Natural] from the start was to really let rider's style define them and their line choice.

I'm passionate about capturing amazing snowboarding action. I get so much out of the artistic endeavor of even getting one amazing shot in a pristine environment, using specialist cameras to showcase how fun and dynamic snowboarding is. That's what I live for.

We faced blizzards, sub-zero temperatures, and of course dangerous snow conditions and vertiginous drops. That's what you get when you're working with fickle mother nature - you start out with a solid plan and it always changes, so you have to evolve and adapt.

I'm really interested in revamping the Supernatural contest, so I'm going to put a lot of effort and energy into that going forward.

It’s not the destination but the adventure along the way.

I knew Shin [Biyajima] a little bit early on, but it's funny because where I really met Shin, and where he made a strong impression on me, was in Jackson Hole. I sledded back to a secret zone way deep in the Jackson backcountry to some freeriding. I got out there and followed some snowmobile tracks figuring it's just some snowmobilers.

Now you're gonna take beatings. It's written in our DNA, you know. You're gonna go down. You get up, it's that simple.
