Sierra-at-Tahoe

uh well we had some competitions in the midwest we had um some like midwest championships i think um and that was in alexandria minnesota a little dinky ski resort i don't know if it it's hard to say like what was the first professional like because because i was just like a grom that was like you know going there to hang out with all my buddies but i remember like totally sending it and just being that crazy kid always was that crazy kid like i'm just gonna overshoot jumps i'm just gonna land on my head i'm gonna try stuff and like it just i just loved it and um so i don't remember what my first real contest was uh but i mean i remember just like swapping and just, you know, traveling and snowboarding everywhere.

I mean, I'm sure if I thought hard and long enough, I could probably think of the first contest, but it was, it was maybe it was like Sierra Tahoe and it was like a triple crown event.

And I ended up making him the finals of a border cross and doing pretty good in the big air.

It was just like, I always just showed up and I was always just, I think really Luke, what, what set me apart was I just, you saw the passion I had and, for the sport and it was, um, it was contagious.
