LNP
LNP is a rock and roll skateboard hellion who destroys any terrain put in front of him. From his tight red pants to his long hair, LNP’s style is different. He went on a coast to coast rail rampage this winter that culminated in an unbelievable part for Any Means. LNP is super creative on any type of feature he rides, he’s absolutely hilarious, and he’s got more nicknames than anyone you know. LNP can put a hurting on any rail, he can stomp jumps, and he can slash the whole mountain, but most importantly he can do it all with style. Just don’t go snowmobiling with him, follow him through customs, or try to tell him what kind of music to listen to.

Awesome year filming for this project, we did it by any means.
Best Memory of the Year:
Rail sessions with Max, Yan, Greg D, Will and Cavan.
Rome House, tell us the ins and outs:
Dirty, dangerous, overcrowded house in Lake Tahoe. It’s pretty fun to hang out there. Lots of free beers.
What does the Collective Addiction mean to you:
Snowboarding is a drug you do with your friends... just like a drug you feel bad when you don't do it, you need to do it to live. It's a real addiction.
Best Hang (trip of the year):
Camping in Wyoming was pretty fun. Quebec for rails awesome...tough to go to the US for sure.
Tell us something personal:
Puking is my phobia.
Best story of another team rider:
Greg Desjardin lost a huge wooden drop-in ramp on the highway. I was in the truck with him…awesome!
You’re a bartender make a new drink and name it:
Who needs mixed drinks, that’s for girls. Drink beer.

Lasagna
Favorite website these days:
Thrasher
Johnny Drama, Turtle, and E make up Vincent Chase's Entourage. Who would be yours?
I don't watch Entourage. I leave that to Cavan.
Music Top 5 songs of all time:
Any songs of Sonata Arctica. Ramones - Havana Affair or any songs of the Ramones. Kalmah - The Third, The Magical. Children of Bodom - WarHeart. Pentagram - Forever My Queen
Energy drinks, cell phones, department stores. Snowboarders these days are ending up with pretty ridiculous sponsors. If you could have any company sponsor to go along with Rome who would it be?
Heineken
Biggest Influence in your life and why:
Skateboarding, cause I think it's the most technical and insane sport that exist on earth.
