When did you first become an MGT lifer?
When I was just a young buck of fourteen I picked up a MGT snowboard camp brochure at a local skate shop and chose to attend a MGT summer camp on the glacier.

How did you first get rad and what were you doing?
Leanne and Joanna taught me how to do methods on a jump we had in out park. I don't think i have ever been more stoked on one particular trick haha.

Which MGT coaches have you had over the years?
Thus far, I have been lucky enough to have Leanne, Juan (Jacqui Berg haha), Alexis, Dom, and Joanna. Joanna, Robin, and Kluz show me up at Canada Olympic Mountain on a regular basis though

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you have going on?
Well this season I went to Grouse (Vancouver) for the MGT slopestyle (probably the best contest in the world) and from there I went to the Billabong All Girl Flaunt It slopestyle at Tremblant. I did a few more contests in and around Canada and I was lucky get down the states a couple times also for some contests and fun. I even lucked out once or twice and ended up winning some money so I got mortal kombat for my garage and remodeled my fish tank in a china theme.

What do you have stashed away in the ol' bag o tricks?
I most certainly have methods on speed dial and Bev V stands in on Tuesdays as my assigned stunt double. Other than that I’m pretty fond of a variety of whirly birds and half twists that seem to be pretty regular.

What has MGT taught you and if and how has it helped you achieve your current position in snowboarding?
I don’t even know where to start… to name a few: Giving me some of the best experiences I have ever had in my life, teaching me tons of tricks, coming to my school disguised as penguins and snowmen and dancing around my auditorium to Le Tigre, getting me involved with amazing companies such as DC, K2, Nomis, Electric and The Source, helping me get to contests, being amazing friends and role models, showing me exactly who I want to be, showing me how fun snowboarding actually is, having my back 100%, and being my second family, well that’s only the beginning. Somewhere in the past four years for which I have been involved with MGT I acquired lucky stars and I could not be more thankful. Coincidental? I think not.

Say something awesome for the kids.
Well, when Pac was a child his best friends name was Phil. Pac and Phil grew up together and one day Freddy D got beef with Pac and for those of you who are not familiar, Freddy D packs a chainsaw. Well luckily, Phil was there and he took the heat for Pac and Freddy D stabbed Phil in the heart. With a chainsaw. They had to graph Phil’s heart with unicorn hide and phoenix pelt but Phil ended up living. So mostly the moral of the story is snowboard for fun and don’t worry about a thing because it’s snowboarding and it rules! Oh yeah, and you probably shouldn’t mess with limp biz.

When did you first become an MGT lifer?
At the tender age of 17 I believe...haha. yeah 17.

How did you first get rad and what were you doing?
I guess you could say I was really goin for it...I hucked myself off everything..I really like to spin and so I decided to try my first seven the last day of camp. Low and behold, I did not kill myself!! haha.

Which MGT coaches have you had over the years?
Let's see...Leanne, Joanna, Susi, Robin, Spencer, Dom, Lexi and the list goes on.

Tell us a bit about yourself and what you have going on?
Well, I really love slurpees and dancing, beatboxing and trying to rap..ughhhhhhh...oh and as for snowboarding stuff...this past season I had tons of fun at the MGT at Grouse, where I placed 2nd in the MEGA GNARLY TAIL GATE PARTY, and I also won a dirt bike at the Kawasaki Triple Big Air down in Southern California, and placed 1st in the Nikita Chickita slopestyle. I also got to travel to some awesome places like Whistler, Colorado and Utah. I live in Tahoe and when not hittin up the library, I ride Northstar everyday. My sponsors are: Bonfire, Etnies, 32, Northstar-at-Tahoe, Nomis, Kicker Audio, Spy Optics, Elm Company and Academy.

What do you have stashed away in the ol' bag o tricks?
Tons of shiftys and donkey kicks to say the least.

What has MGT taught you and if and how has it helped you achieve your current position in snowboarding?
Oh man...everything! Seriously, the whole camp is really positive and all of the coaches are so rad and truly encouraging. The camps are really for the campers. All of my coaches at MGT gave me the confidence to believe in myself and to just have fun. Not only did they sign some sweet posters of themselves for me (which are still up on my walls), but they helped me lock down a couple of my main sponsors. Totally awesome!!

MGT is Legit son!!!!! Go there to learn some sweet tricks, meet rad new peeps, maybe add some new dance moves to your routine and some guaranteed laughing sessions. It seriously is so fun and you can really learn a lot!
