I wouldn't even call snowboarding a sport. For me it's just a way of life. It's a chance to finally shut your brain off, and live within the moment. And, for as long as I am able, I will ride until the day I die.

It would be really nice to have a venue stop in Japan someday. Japan would be perfect for it.

Experiencing the world through Endless secondhand information isn't enough. If we want authenticity we have to initiate it.

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.

There's no doubt 'normal' is changing - spring actually came a month early in Alaska, for example, and we had to stop filming.

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.
