"The scariest moment was in the Congo, when I was on the back of a motorbike, thinking I was about to die, getting driven into the jungle. That was pretty nuts," the 27-year-old told reporters. "Probably for about one minute (I) thought about quitting, and then I realized I couldn't, so that was about as close as it got," he said.
