Do you have any other special talents (music / write / draw / paint…)?
I plaid Piano when I was young for Seven years but I never touched it again. I plaid Guitar when I first started snowboarding but I gaved it up when moving to B.C. I am good at
driving cars, trucks or go-kart but racing is too expensive. I am good at playing video games but I have better things to do with my time (or should I say more profitable). I am good with animals that’s why I always have a couple siamese cats around. I am good with the attention of details, that’s why I am part of a defeciency crew in the summer (construction). I am good with people, that’s why I am helping out managing the backcountry riders on the SugarShack Crew. I like cooking on the Bar-B-Q but that might just be a guy thing and I am pretty good at drinking but that’s what happen when you lived in Whistler for ten years. I am pretty good at wrenching on Vehicules but that might be because I am too cheap to buy a brand new one!
