More About Me
To start I want to give everyone reading this a little more information about me; I grew up in and around the Milwaukee area, so I?ve lived near a big city my whole life.

That is one of the reason I love the sport so much, because it allows the rider to determine what he or she is comfortable with and allows them to do things they never thought they would be able to do, or others thought they would be able to do. A great example of this would be people like Shaun White, who is constantly changing his style and developing new tricks to keep fans interested. Without pioneers like him this sport would not be at the caliber that it is at
