Full name?
Calum Paton
How old are you?
17
How long have you been shredding for?
Just over 3 years.
Who is your inspiration?
Loads of different people within snowboarding, some outside of snowboarding. I’m inspired by most british riders and the quality that is in this country at the moment, despite not having any good mountains close by.
What would you be doing if you weren’t boarding?
Not a lot, snowboarding has pretty much taken over my life!
What was your favourite toy as a kid?
Probably either my hot wheels cars or my xbox. They were both pretty fun when I was a kid.
What can’t you leave home without?
Money as I always end up needing some, my house key too so I dont have to wait outside if no-ones home and usually chocolate.
What can you not stop doing that you shouldn’t really be doing?
Looking at facebook or playing xbox, they are both addictive.
Scariest moment of your life?
Probably when I fell over at tamworth and couldnt move anything but my arms, that was scary when I wanted to move my legs and body and I just couldnt do it. Never want that to happen again!
Water balloon or super soaker?
Water balloon, I can throw pretty well so I like them.
What is your favorite movie?
I’m not sure, there are loads of good films, I did enjoy Capita Defenders of Awesome recently though.
Worst habit?
Cracking my knuckles, it annoys me but I still do it…
Do you think clowns are cute or scary?
I think they are wierd more than anything, for some reason they just make me angry, dunno why though.
Ever been arrested? If so what for?
Nah I’m a good boy!
If you won the lottery, what would you do with it?
Be sensible with most of it and save it, make a bunch of new rails for Tamworth, give some of it to my parents to compensate for my childhood and then spend the rest of it snowboarding and doing random things.
Any shout outs?
Everyone I ride with especially all the Tamworth people, all my friends, my parents, The Riders Lounge, Boarders Boards, Rich Jonas, everyone from FBBB, Tamworth Snowdome and of course Ash Edwards too!
