What did you think of snowboarding the first time you went? I fell over heaps and had no idea what I was doing so wasn’t too sure about it all, but I guess that just made me more determined to succeed at it 
If you were forced to choose between snowboarding and losing all of your teeth, which would you pick? Snowboarding, you can always get fake teeth. 
Do you ever injure yourself doing something stupid and then blame snowboarding? No that’s just silly! 
When you become a rich and famous snowboarder, what’s the first thing you’ll buy? A house  
Pirates or Ninjas? Ninjas can pull more moves 
Tight pants, wide stance, or gangsta steeze? They are all sweet, personally though baggy is more comfy
What’s the most embarrassing thing that has happened to you on a snowboard? I was riding the superpipe and my pants fell down, oops. 
Mittens or gloves? Gloves for sure
