今までツアーした中で一番良かった場所は?
2012年にGigiとアラスカに行ったんだ。そこに5週間滞在して、素晴らしい体験だったよ。彼はスノーボードだけじゃなく、ライフスタイルも完璧だった。また行けるのを本当に楽しみにしているよ。
今まで聞いた中で最高のストーリーは何?
ひとつあるよ。僕はそこにいなかったんだけど、友達が教えてくれた話なんだ。友人たちが家でパーティーをしていて、そのうちの一人が女の子をゲットしたんだ。その子の家に行って男と女のアレをやりだしたら、その子の彼氏が突然現れて襲いかかって来たんだ。結局、パンツ一丁と靴で放りだされたんだ。しょうがないから寝床に帰ったんだが、鍵も携帯もなくて家に入れなかったんだ。結果、いつも色んな人が出入りしている僕の家まで数マイル歩くことにしたんだ。ヒッチハイクをしてなんとか僕の家まで来たんだけど、その日はうちも鍵を閉めていてまた彼は途方にくれたんだ。唯一空いたドアが洗濯物部屋で、そこにあった僕の母さんのパジャマを着てバスに乗って別の友人の家まで行ったらしい。その家はドアが開いていて入れたんだけど、もう両親が仕事に出かける時間だったからみたいだ。

WHAT BOOT DO YOU RIDE?
I love to ride the V-66 these days; this model is so good and feels right, even on the first day.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE VANS SHOE?
I'm into all the Classics, but I love the new Chima Pro.
WHAT'S YOUR SET UP?
Volcom boards made by Capita and Union bindings.
WHAT'S THE BEST TRIP YOU'VE EVER BEEN ON?
In 2012 I went to Alaska with Gigi; I stayed there for five weeks and felt amazing. Not only was the snowboarding perfect, but also the lifestyle that came with it. I'm really looking forward to going again.
WHAT IS THE BEST STORY YOU'VE EVER HEARD?
I have one in mind. I wasn't there, but my friends told me the story. They were basically partying at home and one of them scored a chick. He went to her place and started to do what a girl and a guy do, when the boyfriend of the girl got there and started to beat my friend. He kicked him out with only his shorts and shoes. After that, he went to where he was supposed to stay and discovered that he was locked outside with no key, no phone ? nothing. So he decided to go to my place a few miles away, as it's always an open house. He hitchhiked and a guy took him in, thinking he was so miserable. This time, he found that my door was locked too, so he was trapped outside once again and could only get in next door, which was the laundry room. The only clothes he could find were my mom's pajamas! He put them on and took the bus back to one of my friend's places, where he could finally get in 'cause the parents were going to work.

LAST GOOD BOOK YOU READ?
