I think some people might think we're insane. My mom's just happy we're not flipping motorcycles. She doesn't call it insane. But she's having a tough time with it.

I was having fun. Snowboarding is fun. I was feeling great that I was ahead. I wanted to share with the crowd my enthusiasm. I messed up, and oh well, it happens.

I had been having trouble with that jump all day. (Grabbing the board) helps you stabilize in the air. I tried but it didn't work.

I am nervous, I just never show it, that's a little exaggerated. I never really show any kind of emotion at the top. I usually close people off except for my coach and my other team riders.

I was just trying to stabilize my board.

I just wanted to have a great experience and something to always remember.

Snowboard cross gives me a horrible feeling in my stomach.

I was caught up in the moment.

There is a real science to this. When we have jumps, we try to get on the ground as quickly as possible. You've got to remember, you're faster on the snow than you are in the air.
