The best thing about snowboarding is that it is fun. It doesn't matter if it's raining or snowing, when you snowboard it’s fun to do.

My brother started snowboarding first, and naturally I wanted to do whatever he was doing. My parents rented me a board and I loved it, I have been snowboarding ever since.

The motivation comes from wanting to learn more tricks. Whenever I ride I try something new; whether it’s a new grab, or a different spin, I do it because of the challenge of learning something new.

I think it would be amazing to win double gold again at next year’s Winter X Games. I also want to win both Winter and Summer X Games. Oh yeah and going to the Olympics would be cool.

Do it. You have to go out and try it; once you do you will be hooked. Oh, it's also a good idea to get a lesson, it makes learning a lot easier.
