C3 Development

Just wanted to share some of the photos taken with my new sponsors Core Fitness and C3 Development!

Core Fitness and Training Center

I am so honored to be a bigger part of a brand new gym, Core Fitness & Training Center.  I have trained with one of the trainers at this facility for about 5 years, and now under new ownership, Core Fitness is a new sponsor of mine! I cannot wait to represent this amazing new and updated facility! Whether looking to lose weight, train for a sport (like myself), gain muscle mass, or simply increase your social life, Core Fitness is the place to be! They offer outstanding personal training packages or basic gym memberships. Core fitness is also much more than a business, they are a family, and I am so stoked to call them my family!

Check them out... you won't regret it!

Finally a Video!

People keep asking me what exactly it is that I do, so with help from Roger, I put together a documentary from my competition at Big White, Canada.  Hope you enjoy!

Summer Training

Even though the competition season just ended, doesn't mean I get a break.  In fact, off snow training is the time to work the hardest to get in shape for the snow season. I plan on getting back into my daily workout schedule, which includes cardio, crossfit, weightlifting and yoga.  I also will continue being extremely strict with my diet.  Skateboarding is something I will master this summer as well, it transfers over to snowboarding perfectly. Everything I do counts and will be a huge benefit to my journey to the world cup!

Big White Canadian Nationals

My season definitely went out with a bang in Big White, Canada for my last two competitions of the season. The course was super fun, and I felt very confident with it after two days of training we had. April 5th was Junior Canadian Nationals; anyone to the age of 20 could compete.  After a long day full of lots of crashes, and passes, I am stoked to say I finally made it on the podium with a third place. This was such an amazing feeling. It was exactly three years ago to date from this day that I had my last podium, which was 3rd place at USASA nationals.  The following day I was determined to get back on the podium again, but with the whole Canadian Olympic team competing, I new it would be much more difficult.  I ended up placing 12th, which I was still very pleased with.  These were such a great way to end my season, and I already cannot wait until next season to get consistent top three finishes.  A big thank you to everyone who has supported and helped me throughout this season.  Without you all I would not be where I am today.

Spring Shredding

Though it was nice being in my home grounds on the east side, I was definately stoked to be back to the western part of the country.  My next race was in Mt. Hood, Oregon, by far one of my favorite mountains.  On top of being able to compete at my favorite place, the weather was also beautiful! 50 degrees and sunny every day, heck I was rockin' a tank top and sun glasses at the top of the course! Though this course is just about the same every year, I still had a blast.  Day one, I had a lot of mental issues and put a lot of pressure on myself (once again), so unfortunately I had to settle with another 15th place.  Day two I focused more on my mind than my snowboarding, and it finally worked! I qualified 11th, putting me in a pretty good place in heats.  I made it past the first round of heats, but unfortunately got taken out in semis, leaving me to settle with the small finals. Finals or not, I was so increadibly stoked to have made it this far! In small finals, I made two awesome passes, and I ended up placing 6th! My best result so far, and I couldn't remove the smile off my face.  I can finally see that all my hard work is paying off.  Baby steps... but don't worry, I'll be on top sooner than later!

Thanks dad for getting my small finals pass on film!

Oh Canada!

Continuing my journey on the east coast of the country, I headed up to Toronto, Canada for two more races at Beaver Valley.  This was by far the most technical, feature filled, most fun coarse of the season to date. I had a great time training it; learning so much and developing my boardercross skills further.  On day one, I finished 11th, and day two, I finished 10th.  With not as many girls as there usually are at races, I had much better chances of placing higher in the rankings.  I wish I was able to do better, but everything is a learning lesson, and I believe I learned an extreme amount at this race about how to handle boardercross specific features. Placing in top ten isn't so bad either! :-)
