What do you like best about Liquid Militia? Liquid Militia is a great company, filled with good people. They care about their riders and the sports that they are involved with. I want to expose this company to everybody so that they will know what the company is all about. I like to sport their products at different events, and answer all questions that people have asked. The product is top notch and I want everybody to know it. My main goal is to expose the company and help it grows. Because Kyla and Ryan are good people...

What was the first trick you tried? I tried a nose stab. I remember going to a secluded place to practice so that no one can see me eating it.
