What got you into Snowskating? A few years back I was at a snowboard competition and I saw someone using an old Premier G3, after seeing that I went to my local shop and bought an NG3. Of course, I used to do the old "take the trucks and wheels off of a skate deck" thing.
Favorite Trick: Backside 180's.
Trick you hope to accomplish someday? Tailpress a 17 stair... in like five years.
Who are your inspirations/Role models? Motocross racer Kevin Windham, and my dad, Noel Smage.
Advice to newcomers: Don't get frustrated if its hard at first, once you get the used to the feeling it will be the most fun you are likely to have.
Sponsors: Premier Snowskates, Ambition Snowskate Apparel, Clive Bags, Switchfilms.net, Vareint3.com, Moose Racing, Aplinestars
Favorite place to snowskate: The hill behind my barn.
Words to live by... Favorite quote: "For all of this, I'm better off without you" I want to hear you sad-by The Early November

Favorite Music: Taking Back Sunday, The Early November, Senses Fail, Silverstein, Matchbook Romance, Hidden in Plain View, Etc.
Future Goals/Aspirations: Have a good enough showing at Winter X to show everyone that snowskating deserves to be a main event, Spread the word on both the sport of Snowskating and the Premier Snowskate name, Get my own Premier Snowskate Pro Model.
Biggest Accomplishments: Winning Winter X Games in 2005, and being the 2003 Wisconsin State Trials Champion.
