Quote:
Following the dream to become pro happened, says Arnold, "Right when I graduated from high school I moved out to Mammoth, CA. I moved with my friend Charlie Morace [rides for Santa Cruz snowboards]. He is still my roommate. He's awesome. He drove and I flew, I got the easy way out. Whenever we're around Mammoth we ride together. But we fell in with different companies so we don't get to ride as much as we used to."
