Scouting Report: Started in January 2011 because his mom said he needed a safe environment for his thrill seeking nature. That and the lifeguards at the yelled at him for doing flips off the high dive.
He practices once a week for 1 or 2 hours.

Favorite Pro: No one person. He watches a lot of YouTube thrill seekers such as those people who jump off cliffs in flying suits and just soar like a flying squirrel.  He likes anyone who does unusual and cool things.
