Favorite Trick: Big Glides
Describe how you feel when you can't ride due to and injury or travel, etc: Frustrated and really bored. It gives me the drive to come back as soon as possible and heal.
Favorite country, spot, hill, park, etc: I love going home to Vancouver. It’s such a rad place, but my favorite is at home in Orlando.
