Lonnie Kauk is a unique individual and the only way to truly understand what I’m saying is to meet him yourself. His positive outlook on life carries everyone around him to have a better day. His multi talented position on snowboarding and rock climbing will change those sports forever. He is pushing the limits of both; laying 13d routes on the rocks, and stomping new tricks while filming with Standard films on the snow. The following is a preview of the interview we are doing with Lonnie. This was gathered during a fifteen minute conversation while we waited before we went climbing the other day.

Here is a preview of an interview we are working on with Lonnie. The following was recorded during a conversation the crew had while chilling out in Mammoth.

SR: What are you are doing right now?
Lonnie: Constantly dreaming about the future but the past fuels me because it’s kind of been a long road for me, but its all fuel for the future. Now I have been to the spirit world and I realize life is just a dream and I can create anything I want to.

SR: What is going through your mind when you’re out on the hill?
Lonnie: When I am snowboarding, I feel like I’m a warrior going against all the voices that are trying to go against me. And when I’m at home I’m thinking about snowboarding and its like I am sharpening my blades to go into battle to go against all the voices that are out there going against me.

SR: Where you picture yourself a year from now?
Lonnie: I picture myself in every dream I have ever thought of coming true flashing before my eyes and suddenly be standing where I have been seeing myself this whole time, which is on my snowboard.

SR: What was your biggest accomplishment this season?
Lonnie: Realizing that I am an artist and that nobody does it like me. When I found this out it was very special.

SR: What about billy’s pink sugar cookies?
Lonnie: I think if we all change the way we eat, and the way we treat each other, we can reach a higher standard of living.

SR: What do you think about Snowboard Revolution?
Lonnie: I think snowboard revolution is the greatest thing that has hit snowboarding cuz they listen to people who love snowboarding.

SR:What do you enjoy doing when you are not snowboarding?
Lonnie: I love to rock climb and I love to close my eyes and dream about what I want to do, its like I am traveling through time, I cold close my eyes without leaving the house and travel all day.
