Summer Fun?
I live in New York City from June to October. It's really different from Colorado but I wouldn't have it any other way. Greatest city in the world!
Snowboarding Priorities:
- Always scope a feature out before you hit it. Snow constantly changes because it's made of water!
- Ride to your ability. Don't just chuck carcass off a jump because you saw your buddy do it. Live to ride another day.
- Hit the gym as well as the mountain. Strong muscles mean strong riding!
- Drink lots of water, especially if you live at 11,000 feet like I do. Being dehydrated never got anyone to the X Games.
- Be a nice person. Don't be a dick because someone knuckled a jump and you have to wait while they move out of the way. We're all in this together!
- HAVE FUN! That's what snowboarding is all about!
