What is the most difficult part of your activity/sports for a beginner? The easiest? I'd have to say overcoming the thought of everyone thinking you aren't as good as them, but when it comes to snowboarding you quickly learn that most on the slopes don't care and are more than happy to give you tips on how to improve!
What is the best and worst thing about being female in your sport? Learning to snowboard with 3 brothers was hard as they seemed to pick everything up easier (I mean it took me 2 weeks to be able to use a button lift without falling off and my little bros managed to nail it first time) but there is a moment where everything clicks and you aren't scared to try new things...Plus ridding with a bunch of girls is tones more fun!

How dangerous do you really think it is compared to what people do in their regular activities? As long as your safe and respectful of others on the slope you'll be fine.
I bet in your experience you have seen some crazy crashes. Describe one. Everyone goes through them stages where they think they better than they are. So there I was stood at the top of the biggest hill in Portsmouth with my z-flex shouting I'm gonna do it...5 seconds later I'm wrapped round a doggy bin.
What usually gets people hooked on your activity/sport? All your worries and fears go when you're on top of the world ridding with your crew! You get that feeling once and your hooked...Welcome to the dark side.
What is your favorite trick? That cool thing everyone seems to be able to do when they land a jump.

What do you do in your spare time when you’re not riding/shooting/competing? If I'm not in University doing my animation work, I'll be out and about going on adventures with mates or I'll be stuck in my room watching snow/skate edits wishing I was on a mountain.
How about in the off season to stay in shape? We don't really have an off season in England...in the winter I'm snowboarding or skating if it isn't raining, and in the summer I'm skating or up at an Indoor Snow slope.

Favorite conditions? It would have to be clear blue skies, fresh snow and the sun beaming down.
Where would be your biggest dream place to ride and why? Somewhere in Canada...Anywhere..please someone?. Anyone?
What song(s) do you listen to while riding that puts you in the zone? Jamie-T playlist on repeat and who doesn't like a good old Disney sing along on a chair lift?
