Ok, so if it involves some kind of board, you pretty much do it. What the hell is “sand boarding?”
Well here in Wyoming…we have fabulous sand hills!! In the off season, we take our trashed boards and bomb massive sand hills. It’s not the same, and sand gets EVERYWHERE…but heck! It’s something to do!

Are there any board sports you haven’t tried but want to?
RIVERBOARDING!! I wanna get out this summer and give that a try, looks pretty rad.

How long have you been snowboarding? Skating?
I have been snowboarding 10 years now, but really 9 seasons. I took up skating avidly when I first moved to Wyoming- so 4 years now.

What’s your local mountain?
Well, Utah is 2 hrs aways from me, and Jackson Hole about 3 and a half…So I can’t really say I have a ” local mountain ” at the moment…I grew up with Mt. Hood and Mt. Bachelor as my home mountains!

Where’s the best place you’ve ever ridden?
I love Utah/Colorado/Wyoming powder, I have ridden em all just about…that is a tough choice!! I would have to say….Jackson Hole and Copper Mountain were worth my moolah!

What would you like to learn over the next season?
HAND PLANTS!! They look sick! And freakin fun to do!

Who do you usually ride with - by yourself, with guys, or with other girls?
Just my hubby and I, and whatever friends come with us…so mostly just my crew of fellas.

Ever had any bad injuries?
SHHHYA! Re-injured my knee on a rail, re-tore the meniscus. Torn tendons…but no broken bones!

You’re into photography as well… what kind of stuff do you usually shoot? Ever shoot any action stuff?
I do immense amounts of landscapes, especially out here in Wyoming, man we have amazing rock structure out here, it’s unreal. I am totally into action as well, and I love photography all the same..but it seems that landscape has “captured” my heart!

If you could travel anywhere to ride/skate, where would you go?
NEW ZEALAND! My hubby and I are planning a snowboarding trip to Mt. Rapahoe! I wanna be able to shred the pow during the day, and go surfing in the evening…ahhh great combo!! Barcelona always looks appealing to the skater in me!

If you could ride with anyone, who would it be and why?
Pro wise..Molly Aguirre, she just seems so fun, and chill. Personality wise, I think we would be great together! But seriously dude, I would love to find some off the hook ladies, that just love to shred, and who all get along!

Fill in the blanks:

When I ride, I listen to…PUNK, SKA, REGGAE and rock, anything that gets the adrenaline pumpin!

My favorite pro is…Miss Molly Aguirre!

If I’m not riding, I’m…Shooting guns, painting, or playing guitar!

Tight pants or gangsta steez…GANGSTA STEEZ SUCKA!!!

Hottest guy pro…Kinda always had a thing for Terje (Haakonsen)…haha I think it’s the whole “Norwegian” bit!

Most inspiring female pro…They all play an important role to me personally.
