Who do you admire in snowboarding or outside and why? I think that Eero Ettala is a major inspiration to me because he pushes the sport in all aspects. Scotty Lago is also an inspiration to me because he has this loose style that alot of other pros don't have, he has flawless style in every trick in all aspects of snowboarding. I also think that Iikka Backstrom is a great rider and an inspiration because in all of his movies he is always positive and having fun and I think that's whats most important in this sport.
