contest dropping goes nervous
Dropping in, I was more nervous than I've ever been at a contest before. Once you're snowboarding, it's what we do every day, so it (the nervousness) kind of goes away.
ya
Keep it interesting, ya know. Keep it dramatic. That's what I do.
biggest confidence event forward full good looking olympics potential represent sweep
I have full confidence that everyone who is going will represent really well. Everyone who is going is a really good representation of U.S. snowboarders and snowboarders anywhere. I think everyone has full potential to sweep (all the medals). The Olympics is the biggest event in the world, so I'm really looking forward to going there and having a lot of fun.
coming kick olympics realize until
I didn't really realize all I was getting into. I'm pretty young for being in the Olympics in the first place. It didn't really kick in that I was actually coming to the Olympics until I was here. So there was a lot of pressure.
hard rode threw today
She killed it. You know Hannah rode really hard today and threw down. We're all stoked for her.
