came check everybody mad riding speed teammate wanting win
Why speed check when everybody else is riding strong? I'm mad at a teammate for doing that when he's got a teammate right on his butt. I came in here wanting to win this thing. I'm pretty ticked.
ask
Here he comes. Why don't you ask him?
game olympic
I don't know what he is doing, speed-checking on Olympic game day.
cut great guys hard next riding spectator three throat
It's a cut throat world out there (on the course). It is hard enough on your own but then you've got three guys riding next to you. It is a great spectator sport.
ahead behind front good hang line looking risks speed
When I am behind and I am looking ahead and there is that line in front of you, of that guy, of winning and losing, then I really hang it out there and take big risks to make the speed up, and then I'm pretty good at passing.
games sports
The X Games have done night and day for snowboarding and action sports.
definitely drag good straight
I think my strengths are definitely - I'm a really good glider. I'm one of the fastest, like on a straight drag race, I can pretty much kill that.
anxious coaches trainer
When it comes to working out, I really don't like the gym. I go because I have to, but I'm usually not happy about it. I do what my trainer and coaches tell me to do, but I'm always anxious to get outside.
I've always had a strong start, but the start in boardercross is so important. And if you're not getting better, you're getting worse.
bad focusing good olympics starting starts
Some days I'll have good starts, and some days I'll have bad starts. I'm really focusing on having more good starts than bad starts, and I traditionally do. But I would hate to make it all the way to the Olympics and have a bad starting day.
favorite lake ready time warm year
Summertime is my favorite time of year in Sandpoint, reason being, Lake Pend Oreille is warm and ready for action.
best execute gate time
When the gate drops, it's time to try and execute the best you can.
finger people pulse
I go to all of the trade shows, know a lot of the people making marketing decisions, and I want to keep my finger on the pulse of snowboarding.
aunts boomer favorite home hooked send uncles woods
My favorite team is the Bengals. In Idaho, we didn't really have a home team. But my parents are from Ohio, and when I was a little kid, my aunts and uncles would send me Boomer Esiason T-shirts and Ickey Woods mini-footballs, so I got hooked on those guys.
