Brin: What's your favorite snowboard?
Wimbles: My favorite snowboard right now is a Capita, I believe it's tyler Lapore's board which he designed which really works for me.
Brin: He rides for option, right. Oh no isn't he in Seymour Skids?
Wimbles: Yes he is.
Brin: Where do you like to eat on the mountain?
Wimbles: On the mountain, breakfast or lunch?
Brin: Lunch.
Wimbles: I'm going to have to say Glacier.
Brin: We usually hit up Crystal hut, burgers, steaks, salmon fillets.
Wimbles: Well I guess I'll be learning a few things from you guys this year too.
Brin: How long have been riding?
Wimbles: This winter will be my tenth year. and you?
Brin: I'm ten and I've been snowboarding seven years.
Brin: Have you ever been to any other snowboard mountains.
Wimbles: I've been mostly in North America, I spent a year in Tahoe a year in Mammoth.
Brin: I have a friend that lives in Mammoth, Trevor Jacob.
Wimbles: Cool, I've also been to Colorado, Utah
Brin: Park city?
Wimbles: Yup! I grew up in Kelowna so I've been all over the interior of BC. That's about it, I have yet to go to Europe or Japan but I'd like to to that.
Brin: I've been too Mount Hood.
Wimbles: Yeah I've been to mount Hood, What did you think of it?
Brin: It was rainy that day. Who's your favorite pro snowboarder?
Wimbles: Umm, that's a good question. That's a hard question for me because alot of my best friends are my favorite riders but my most favorite, favorite rider would have to be Johan Olofson. His part in TB5 got me into thinking about snowboarding in a different light.
Brin: Sweet.
Wimbles: Who's your favorite pro?
Brin: Kevin Sansalone, he' rips and he doesn't smoke. Do you smoke?
Wimbles: No!

Brin gives Chris the thumbs up and continues skating.
