Simpel Session, I bet you cannot wait?
- I can not. I've been the past few years and every time I go, I always have the best of times.

What was your first impression when you saw the 3D drawings of the Simpel Session course for 2011? -
- My first impression was like; wow! The course has everything to offer for every type of rider and some pretty good lines. I am looking forward to seeing what other riders' lines and runs are like at the event.

When are you getting there?

- I am getting there on the Wednesday.

- Who are you looking forward to see at the event?
- There are so many good riders at the event, I am looking forward to watching everyone ride.

- Who do you think will make a podium spot for sure?
- Drew Bezanson, Garrett Reynolds, Maddog.

Who is going to win the bunnyhop contest? Ty Morrow? Brad Simms or Alex Kennedy? Or who's your pick?
- That's gonna be a good one to watch.

Will you be nervous when you drop in for your run in front of a few thousand screaming girls?
- Haha, maybe a little.

Are you ready for the after-parties?
- Of course, haha.

If the right obstacle is there, what trick are you going to try for the first time in a contest?
- Not to fall off trying most things. I dunno, there's so much to chose from on the course, it's crazy.
