Q&A With Shawn Semb

Most memorable coaching moment?

My most memorable coaching moment was in 05/06 teaching two little girls who where sisters, 8 and 6 years old. they where so full of energy and just all around fun. We played games and told funny stories everyday. i looked forward to every day i got to coach them.

Coolest part of the burton academy in my opinion?

The sweetest part of the academy is that we promote enjoying snowboarding. that is the most important thing about snowboarding is having fun and loving what you do. and that is what the academy is all about.

Camber vs Rocker?

I'm all about camber boards!

How long have been coaching/riding?

I have been coaching for 9 years and riding for 13years

Favorite run at northstar and why?

The stash is really fun, but for me if there is snow on the ground anywhere at Northstar that is where I want to go and play

Favorite Trick?

I have a few but a switch front-side 180 flying squirrel is awesome!!!

Most inspirational rider?

My brother has been the biggest inspiration for me. He got me into snowboarding and then into coaching and has always been there to go ride with and have fun. he is always pushing me to become better and helping me to.

Season trick?

My season trick goal is. to snowboard at-least one day at every resort in Tahoe and do a flying squirrel on it
