What is "the
launch" to you?
The
launch is a big gathering of the worlds best snowboarders under the age of 21.
We all come together and hot lap a private park, push each other, progress
snowboarding, shoot photos, and have a blast!

What's it mean to
be riding in it?
It means a lot to me. Only 100 riders get the invite, so I'm
stoked I got the chance to be apart of it. I got to meet a lot of new people
and make new connections and being apart of an event like the Launch is huge.

What does it mean
to get shots in the recaps?
Getting in the
recaps is huge, because those photos are pretty much all over the internet and
tons of people see the recap article. It's good exposure.
