Snowboarder Questionnaire
How old where you when you first began riding?
I had a few free lessons with some of the boarders at Wycombe Summit when I was 6, but I didn't like boarding on Dendix. I went and rode a few times at MK then Xmas 06 I was mucking around and managed to cut my shin (5 stitches) just above my boot, so I couldn't ski for a couple of weeks, so I started to board more regularly.
What/Who got you into it?
The ATV Crew had a big influence, Gazza, Gary and the rest of the guys at MK. The Euroboys always push me. But when I think about it Jon Weaver and Alex Spence gave me a board at one of the High and Dry comps a few years ago, maybe that planted the seed?
What sort of board do you ride?
Flow Micron.
What length board do you ride?
133
Do you ride Regular or Goofy?
