not a typical looking, sounding olympian. one thing i know about snowboarders, you look at me and say we've got a lot in common. i am a snowboarder on the granny slope, but the fact is -- those that ride just go to do it because they love it so much. there isn't necessarily a competitive nature in the sport. so how do you bring that a-game when you're at something like this venue? the olympic games? you have to change the whole purpose of snowboarding. doesn't it? >> at the end of the day we're all snowboarding and all got into it to have fun and i made a lot of friends over the years competing, and although, like, we are really competitive when we drop in. when you're in your run you're not just fooling around, really. you're definitely here for a purpose, but you're having fun with it, and there is a, like, really competitive nature when you're in the course, but once you're out, at the top everyone's high fiving each other. at the bottom, i don't know if you watched. hugging each other.
