NBC Olympic Zone Interview

NBC brought me in studio this year during the Vancouver Games as a "Snowboarding Expert" whatever that means, but I was there to talk about snowboarding and bring some knowledge and education to the people at home that may have not known too much about the sport. It was a great experience and pretty fun to banter a bit with their sports anchor, Joe Amorosino.

2010 Burton US Open

The 2010 Burton US Open marked the most progressive halfpipe riding that has ever been performed in snowboarding. Some would say that the Vancouver Olympic games would be the pinnacle of the 2010 year, but not the case at all. Shaun Whites Gold Medal run would probably not have made Podium at the US Open this year. The level of riding in the mens finals was beyond what people thought could have been possible just a season before. I was on hand again this year to host the event with Preston Strout and newcomer Avert Guldemond. The weather couldn't have been any better and the overall vibe was great this year. Can't wait to see what's in the cards for next year!!

The Oakley Arctic Challenge

The Arctic Challenge is an event that is put on a pedestal in professional snowboarding. Only the best of the best get invited to come out and ride the event founded by the legend Terje Haakonsen. This year I was invited out to be the English speaking announcer for the contest. The event was absolutely crazy and the fans in Norway are on a whole new level. My time in Oslo was absolutely amazing and I really enjoyed all the people and the community. A huge thanks needs to go out to Liam, Matty, Joe, and Lasse at Oakley, as well as Terje for making me feel welcome in his hometown.
