1. How stoked are you on this years Bald E-Gal video, Tiller?

Tiller is sick.  Look for Poachers 10 this coming year…a little birdy told me it would be good!

2. What were you up to all summer?

Graduated from Park High School.  Went out to Hood and spent the summer digging-to-ride at High Cascade, snowboarded a bunch, had a prime time parking spot at the T-line lot, camped with friends, surfed couches, went to the Oregon coast, came back to Minnesota and longboarded a lot with my friend Ricky, skated alot of Mini-Pipe with Cody Beiersdorf, skated Summit’s new park alot, worked as a dishwasher at Mississippi Dunes Golf Course, gave a lot of plasma and recently got into Bikram Yoga.

3.  Day in the life of RP…run down the “to-do-list” for us.

What do I do?  It varies but a good day would include good music and breakfast to get me up, Bikram Yoga in the morning, hit up Summit’s park to skate for awhile, head to Afton to go shred with my friends, and then come back to the CG (Cottage Grove = <3) and hang with my girlfriend…jk – i don’t have a girlfriend!

4. What gets you stoked every morning to go shred?

Kaya by Bob Marley…Watch one of my favorite video parts while I eat an egg, cheese and avocado tortilla…then maybe some yoga to limber up, then it’s ON!!!

5. Who are your favorite riders to watch snowboard/who do you look up to in the snowboard world?

There are a lot of riders I like watching: Marben, Jake OEoeoeo, Jonas, Jed, Keegan Valaika, Cody Beieresdorf, Grendy, Scotty Stevens, Mike Nova, Ricky T, Ricky Koukal, my little bro Randy, Sexton, Jeffy, Bradshaw, Alex Andrews, Louif, Eathan, John Jackson, Auston Young, ShaneR, Austin JH, Cale Zima, Bode Merril…I look up to some of those dudes (some of them not really, ha, just like their riding) and I look up to dudes like Dan Brisse and Jake Blauvelt cause they kill it, have really positive attitudes and work really hard for what they love doing.

6. What’s up with Knowbuddy?

It’s a cool blog style website, Knowbuddy, but it is also an awesome team of Burton rep riders from all over the world.  It’s a cool place to see some stuff that’s happening in boarding.  ShaneR and I like to post stuff up there on occasion so check it out!

7. Favorite non-snowboarding websites?

I really don’t like the internet.  It just sucks me into it, but…scratch the “non” part, I don’t have many of those: This Website, TW Snow, Skate Bible, Helicoptergame, NOAA, Facebook (actually I don’t like that site), Knowbuddy, You Tube, Google Maps, Dirpy (you can turn You Tube videos into mp3′s, it’s siiiick!!!)

8. What does the future hold for RP?

Lots of snowboarding…Utah, Hood, MPLS, Carpe Diem, and in about a minute I’ll be off this silly confuzer!
