WHY DO YOU RIDE FOR THE LEVITATION PROJECT?

I ride for the Levitation Project because. They make the best shit. Everyone that is involved with the company is fuckin rad. Where all really good friends and have a ton of fun.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN WHEN YOU RIDE FOR THE LEVITATION PROJECT AND HOW IS IT DIFFERENT THAN RIDING FOR OTHER COMPANIES?

It means that you have a love for snowboarding. Your a bad ass!! No hipster ass pussys ride for this company. It's different from other companys because everyone knows each other. Its not corporate in any way. You just don't have to deal with any bullshit.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LEVITATION PROJECT PRODUCT?

The base layer stuff is amazing. And the face masks. So good

WHAT DOES SNOWBOARDING MEAN TO YOU?

Snowboarding to me is having a great time. I love it for what it is. There's nothing better then being with your friends and having a blast no matter where you are, how cold and shitty it is outside. I just have so much fun doing it. If I ever stop having fun I'll probably stop snowboarding.

WHAT SACRIFICES HAVE YOU MADE TO GET TO WHERE YOU ARE?

I've pretty much starved for months at a time.  I've beat the shit out of my body. I've left my family and a lot of good friends and moved away. Just had to deal with a lot of bullshit.

WORST JOB YOU EVER HAD?

Working at a ski shop at Deer Valley.

WHAT ARE THE WORST INJURIES THAT YOU HAVE HAD TO DATE?

Broke both my wrists. Fractured both my ankles. Dislocated my elbow. Completely fucked up my tail bone. And hit my head hard a few times.

WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL WINTER DAY LIKE?

Wake up pretty early depending on the snow. Drink some coffee. Smoke an energy stick. Make a stop by 711. Either go hit a rail. Build a jump or just go ride some resort.  Then go in the hot tub. Drink a beer. Watch a movie. Maybe go get a drink at a bar.

WHAT IS YOUR TYPICAL SUMMER DAY LIKE?

Well most of the summer I'm at hood so I'll give you a hood day and a salt lake city day.

Hood:
Wake up at 6 am. Most of the time pretty hung over. Drink coffee, More  smoking. Get on a bus. Go to the mountain. Hang in the lodge. Go up  the chair lift. Ride to our park. Rake and salt for a while. Go  snowboarding all day. Rake and salt again. Go down the mountin. Eat  dinner and go to the bar.

Salt lake city:
Wake up around 10 or 11. Drink some coffee. More smoking. Maybe go  skate if it's not to hot. Or just go over to my friends workshop and  watch him work on motorcycles or make some sweet shit out of metal,  like some sort of weapon or try and do something to my motorcycle.  Then we usually BBQ and drink some whisky and ginger ale. And then go to a  bar or something.
