Chapter 11 - Travis Parker

Ever since I first went snowboarding in 2001 I get excited as winter arrives. Now it’s not as if I am particularly good at snowboarding or even go frequently, but when I see snow I instantly imagine myself on (or in) it. 

Unfortunately I live in Queensland, Australia, where snow is unheard of. At this point of my life, I will soon need to make a decision as to where I am going to go with my career. As crazy as it may sound, one of my major influences has been the presence of snow in said places. Hopefully I will end up somewhere like Canada once my studies are complete, but that is still a distant dream.

In the mean time, I’m hoping a trip to Japan will let me go snowboarding for a couple days and satisfy my cravings. For those two days, I will be Travis Parker; this is my favourite YouTube video of him:


There are a few other videos of him floating around, but most searches unfortunately return with “Travis Barker”. If you have trouble finding videos leave me a comment or email, and I will send you some links.
