Upper Midwest Snow Series member Bennett Schneider has been putting in the reps. At the start of this season, he entered his one hundredth USASA Upper Midwest Snow Series competition, not counting National Championships or The Futures Tour events (!!) -- so we thought we'd take a minute to gain some wisdom from Bennett on what he's learned and loved about competing at USASA as he’s grown from Ruggie to Breaker.
100 Competitions is a big deal! Congrats - do you remember your first USASA Competition?
I do. It is crazy to look back and think about how far I have come and how much more I understand about the sport. It was a BX race at Afton Alps in Minnesota with the Upper Midwest ALT series. I was 5 years old. I was super nervous when I stood in the starting gate. I dropped in, and ran the course slowly. I was last, but I was still super excited because I didn’t fall.
