Who's leading the charge in the world of Instagram?
Haha, everyone has some highs and lows it seems like. Cam'ron this rapper from New York has some pretty good highlights, but right now I really like Jussi's pics cause he just bought this old Van, and it seems like he is just hanging out in that thing 24/7. Lots of van grams. Terje too. He is killin it on the gram. He's a gram father for sure.

What's the summer holding for you?
Not gonna make any real plans for the summer, just gonna go with the flow. A couple quick trips to Cali and whatnot, but for the most part would like to hang at home, Dirtbiking and getting my skate ramp in good shape. Some river floats for sure too. Then its on to movie tours and it'll be winter again soo fuckin soon. 

Where did you spend most of your winter?
We ended up hangin out in BC pretty much all season. Whistler area, a trip to Terrace, and I hit up Revy briefly. But it was a hard snow season for lots of areas, and we had it soo good here at home. so we just stayed. We tried to hit up Europe for a trip cause they had a dope season too, but we only stayed for 2 days cause it got warm as soon as we got there. Had a nice little spring break in Zurich though.
 
When are you going to start filming for Slednecks?
Hahaha I couldn't hang with the airs those dudes do, but I do really like hitting stuff on my sled. It gives me a good scare
 
Why do you live in Squamish?
Well it was a pretty natural transition from living in Whistler for soo long, to just head down the highway. I had a house down here when I was still living in Whis, and it was just time to finally move into it.  It's a dope town, there is tons of shit to do here, I have been here for about 5 years and I feel like I'm just starting to figure it out. It still has that wild west feeling where you can do pretty much whatever you want.
