BEST CONTEST RESULT:
2nd place USASA Nationals 2008
If you invited us over to dinner at your family’s place, what would we get to eat?
Well, if it was up to me we would eat some of Mikaelas favorite recipes. These include Tuna Helper, Mashed potatoes, Cheesecake, maybe some boneless buffalo wings, my mom likes making lasanga so you would probably get some of that. Basically you would get an interesting combination of my favorite foods.
Do you have any unique talents or hobbies that you are proud of?
Brickbreaker, I once had a score of 1.2 million, which is kinda a big deal. Like i spent 4 months on the same game. And then my phone froze and someone took the battery out to fix it. And the game was lost! And I didn’t get to submit my score. I was devistated. But I am still going for the world record.
What do you hope to accomplish as a member of the PacSun USASA Team?
I just want to inspire the younger kids to stick with snowboarding. Also stay competing with USASA. Almost every notable pro has gone through it so I think it is really important for kids to realize what a good program it is.
When you need courage before a contest or photo shoot, who do you turn to? Why?
Without a doubt.. MY DAD. Whenever I am having trouble I call him and he tells me “This contest is just for fun” it started when I did little local contests that were just for fun, but he says it even when I am at the open or grandprixs. He reminds me that even if I fall both runs it doesn’t matter as long as I am having a good time and enjoying what I am doing.
What is your favorite brand at PacSun right now?
This is really hard because there are so many good brands. I would have to say 1. Billabong 2. Lost 3. Hurley. And Roxy has the all time best swimsuits.
What item of clothing at PacSun is on your wishlist?
I cant pick just one here either. I really love all of the dresses and swimsuits at pacsun so for dresses I think the “Reef hurricane dress”. I love it, I want it really bad. Haha. And for swimsuits I like the “ Roxy Rebel white” swimsuit. Its so cute.
