Wunderkind Alexis Rowland in NY Times

I am not sure whether I love her or hate her....Alexis Rowland the wunderkind snowboarder who at only 8years old is just above and beyond anything I have seen. Anyway, this time she is gracing the New York Times,a little late as the story was posted 2 weeks ago...still worth a read and check out the video near  the end of the article. So ridiculous - in a good way!

Check it out here...NY Times Article

She's very good, she's about as good as any best guy in my country. but, that is not fare to compare her to guys. Someone has made a comment on youtube, that when shawn white was her age , he was busting 5's all ways possible. I dunno, havent seen footage of him in comp at that age. However, she's a girl, with girl's physics and psychics. She's very determined and has a very supportive family. I hope she keeps up to any other interests she has, doesnt forget to rest and so doesnt loose interest in snowboarding, and for sure, she'll become the best out there.
