Basa Stevulova is one of the hottest up-and-coming female shredders in the world, and we mean that in both the figurative and literal sense. Not only is Basa very easy on the eyes off the slopes, her style is just as enjoyable to witness on the hill. So we decided to "ketchup" with the Roxy rider and see what is going on in the world of Basa.

Favorite spot to ride and who with?
Dachstein is the number one spot to shred for me, especially during the spring time with all the Croatians, Hungarians, Bulgarians, etc, it's always so much fun. In Slovakia I like Jasna-Chopok. That's the best place to be when there is powder. Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned that part, haha... Sorry for not picking only one, I just had to say both.

If you knew your boyfriend's password, would you read his emails?
I dont want to have a boyfriend who gives me a reason to read his emails.

Sunset session meat helicopter to stomp.

Do you think females get a good deal in the snowboard industry?
You get what you deserve, sometimes maybe even more. I don't know what kind of deals the other girls have, but some of them are definitely good. I'm satisfied with mine, that's what's important.

Describe Slovakia in 3 words.
1) Halušky
2) Borovička
3) Najkrajšie, baby

Who would you most like to have a date with (living or dead)?
John Legend. He sings a song called "Heartbreaker" with MSTRKRFT. He has such a hot voice. And there is somebody else, but he is just too busy.

Basa goes BIG!

Would you rather be a human with a chimpanzee brain or a chimp with a human brain?
I would be a chimp with chimp brain. Definitely not a human with a chimp brain, then I would be bit retarded, I guess.

Would you rather follow Torstein off the biggest kicker or follow Jeremy Jones down the steepest Alaskan chute?
Jeremy. I would rather die riding AK than kill myself on a huge kicker, hahaha.

Basa is a Backcountry Badass.

Would you rather ride for some random sponsor that made something ridiculous like ear socks or ride for no sponsors at all?
Ear socks??? I wouldn't ever wear ear socks. No sponsors.

Laying down a mean toeside in blower pow.

What do you think you might get into if you were forced to stop shredding and join the real world? Golf, maybe?
If i was forced to stop riding then i would go to school or work. That's the "real world" that 90% of the world population knows.

This summer you will be:

a) lying on the beach till you turn Puerto Rican - Already done
b) getting extreme in some sloppy slush - NOOOOT
c) pushing wood and getting down in the local skateparks - NOOOOOOOT
d) hanging with your man-cakes - Don't have one
