Agree – he is a great boarder, however, that being the case, he could have trained (or should have been able to train) anywhere. Learn to focus with distractions man! Maybe less caffeine – stop drinking so much Red Bull.

Seems like a lot of fuel to waste for one freaking boarder to train for the Olympics.

Chicken chicken chicken…

#19 – the worst trip I ever had over Red Mountain Pass was one January where I thought I was being a real smart-ass. I’d made it from Durango to Silverton, OK – and spotted a county hwy department plow heading into the road up and over Red Mountain.

Figured I’d just follow the truck. Guess what? At the top of the mountain, you bump into the county line and the fracking truck turned around and went back.

Those remaining miles down to Ouray took me about 2 hours creeping in 1st and 2nd gear in the Acura I was driving back then.
