Can you explain the following word, Bro-mancing and when it would occur?Bromancing is when a couple of guy friends get together and start to tell each other how cool they are or how great their friendship is or how awesome the crew is.
Normally you don’t see the bromance without the help of a couple cold ones.
The “Bro-mance” is also closely connected to the “Bromuda triangle.”
The only difference is that the Bromance can happen at any time, where as the Bromuda triangle can only be found on the main level of a major trade show floor and has more to do with impossible amounts of new foreign hand shakes and never being able to leave do to things such as: drinking, perving and Bromancing.
How do you like the night scene in Whistler?
It’s definitely a love hate relationship. My tax report had a lot of digits from Garfs and Earls. The scene up here is pretty sweet right now, I swear there are more girls than guys out these days, and the bar management seems to be pretty tight right now so were getting hooked up and its lots of fun, should I say addicting possibly.
Some people might not know this, but you’re really into the moto scene. When did you pull your first back flip? How was that feeling?
Ya, I love moto, I can’t get enough right now. If snowboarding didn’t run for so long up here, I would love to train and try my luck in the Canadian national motocross series, but I just don’t think I could get in shape in time to be competitive. As far as the back flip goes…well I spent a week in Spokane Washington two summers back with Travis Pastrana, his dad, Andy bell and some other moto heads that were all on a weeks break from the Dew action sports tour. Within a couple of days my ass was on the line. Travis’s dad was calling me a pussy and I wanted to land a back flip just to throw it in my cousins (Jeff Williams) face. It happened and it was one of the biggest and scariest adrenaline rushes I’ve ever experienced.

Waiting for the snow to fall in Whistler, you just did a road trip down to
Palm Springs with your moto. How was that?
Palm Springs is always sick, sunny and relaxing.
As for the moto, we stopped at all the major tracks and OHV zones. Had to rush back here because it’s dumping right now and everyone was calling me to get home.
The green trees were way too expensive though.
If you had a chance to make a snowboard video and had deep pockets to make it, who would you want in it and where would you want to film?
If I had a chance to make snowboard film I would run with the money and make a moto movie, cause moto kids don’t bitch and have whack style and talk smack all day. They just keep it pinned badass style, no complaining.
You have the “trav pop” as we’ve seen in the last shot in ‘In Transit’. Can you explain how to master the Trav pop?
It’s all in the genes; my brother and sister also have some pop. It was all the peach Gerber baby food I think.
You always talk about riding with your friends is what snowboarding is all about. So what’s a great day for you and the banc crew?
Just a regular day on whistler mountain with all the boys and Girl. Some sunshine a big tree and a pulled pork sandwich at the end of the day, Oh and of course getting bombed at Garfs
Would you rather spend your days in the backcountry or playing on Whistler/Blackcomb?
Both
