“It happens in Rutland every fall. There are fights everywhere, cracked-out carnies, fresh milk from cows, and sketchy rides. They had a game with a table of knives, and if you could throw a ring over any knife, you won it. I heard someone stabbed a person with a knife they won, so they took the game away. The best ride is always the Zipper. It’s caught on fire a few times, but they always bring it back.”
The West Coast
“Everything is easier. I went from riding ice to riding pow—that makes life way better.” Killington
“Under the Superstar lift on a pow day is the best. There are three good rope ollies, and no one goes there. It is also steep, and you can go so fast.” Being pro and still living back East
“I was thinking about living in Killington this next season because I don’t think I’m going to be able to afford rent in Tahoe. I think I could pull it off.”
Gremlins 3
“The Rutland movie is a two-year project. It is going slow but good. It’ll be skating, snowboarding, a bunch of partying, and hopefully a bunch of fights and girls…and some four-wheelin’. It’ll be the Rutland BozWreck. Lucas was all crazy one night and decided Gremlins 3 was going to be the name. That was that—the name was set.” Rutland’s Next Generation
“Either Tyler Lynch or Ryan Allaire.” Snowboarding Goals
“Getting last part in a video.”
OTHER SPONSORS: Darkside, Throw Rutland in, I guess.
