If somebody would pay you a trip, where would you go and with whom?
I really want to go to Japan, and I would go with my brother, Sam Taxwood, and any of the other homies!
Who are your favorite riders to hang out with?
My brother, Sam Taxwood, Max and Gus Warbington, Blake Paul, Griffin Siebert, Ben Bilodeau, and many others, the list goes on!
What do you do besides snowboarding?
I like fishing whenever I can, can't say I'm super experienced at it but I love it. I've been doing a lot of spraypaint art these days which I really enjoy. And just hanging out with friends and family.
How many years are you snowboarding up to now?
I think it's about 13 years now
To whom did you look up to in snowboarding when you started?
All of the RobotFood crew. Travis Parker, Chris Engelsman, Scotty Arnold.. all of them!
What was your first trick?
I am not sure but I think it was just an indy grab or something off a tiny jump.
What is your favorite trick?
I really like frontside 5's and backside 3's, they never really get old.
Why did you start snowboarding?
I learned skiing first and I really just didn't enjoy it that much so I told my parents I wanted to learn how to snowboard, and just kind of took it from there!
Do you train in the off season to stay in shape?
No not really, I like to just enjoy the off season. I do go to Mt. Hood so I do still snowboard in the summer but its a lot different than snowboarding in the winter season.
What music are you listening to when you ride?
I don't ride with music normally, but when I do I mix it up, anything from Young Jeezy to Pink Floyd haha
Day or night?
Day, I feel like there is more to do in the day
Early bird or late riser?
In between right now I guess, I've been waking up around 8-8:30 lately which is nice, you get to do a lot more stuff in a day if you wake up earlier.
Pizza or Pasta?
Can't go wrong with Papa Johns Supreme pizzas, but I also love chicken alfredo pasta. Call it a tie haha
Baggy or tight pants?
More towards the slim side. But can't go too tight
What can you tell all the kids out there why they should start snowboarding?
Because you might find a passion for it, and its a world full of a lot of great people that are awesome to meet. You should really just give anything a try at least once because otherwise you may never know if you would've liked it or not.. except drugs haha
