June: Bailey Mitchell


Roussel: Aight so what you been up to now that the snow has melted?

Bailey: Not to much at all, I got a new job stocking shelves, been skateboarding a lot, and goin up to the new cottage. Hasn't been too bad now that the snow's gone.

Roussel: Coo, so what do you think about the skiboard scene these days?

Bailey: Skiboarding is on the way back up. People are starting to realize what the true sport of skiboarding really is. All our veteran riders (people that didn't cave to skiing) are on the way up and these are the kind of riders that are never going to stop. More events are being held and now we have a new movie coming out at the end of next season. Its stuff like this that tells us that the sport is not going away.

Roussel: What do you got planned for Tip-2-Tip in the future?

Bailey: We got tonnes planned, next year I'm going to try to organize a T-2-T event for all the riders and whatever skiboarders are able to come. I'm in the middle of getting clothes made for the team (they're soo sick).. if I ever get enough cash I'll mass produce so I can sell them to the public. I'm hoping that maybe we can put out a full length T-2-T team video. I'm still thinking, I got all summer, there's plenty more where that came from.

Roussel: What are your plans for next season?

Bailey: Next season I plan to do as much as I possibly can in the short couple of months. Of course I will try to exceed my skill levels and support my friends/teamates like past seasons. I'm going to try to get the Tip-2-Tip name out there more-be recognized by people all over the world. And I'm gonna try my hardest to get myself to all comps. Last year we had events at Mount Bruno and Tremblant, next season we'll be doing the exact same but 100 times better.

Roussel: Awesome, last words? Shout outs?

Bailey: Definately, Kevin Boate and Mike Wass have been there alongside with me since the start, I wouldn't be where I am today without them, Ben Wann for everything he did for the sport last season and future seasons, All the riders on T2T for a great first season, Greco from SBOL for helping out huge-time at this years comps, SBMag and GST for helping keep it alive, and most of all-whoever is still riding to this date, you are the people that make this sport, THANK YOU ALL!
