Comment: "I changed my plans (after
missing the Olympics). I rode some powder at Tahoe, did some filming,
and got back into the fun of snowboarding. Then I crashed in about three
contests in a row�I couldn't pull it together�so I took a break and went
home just before the Open. I went to Japan and was gonna ride a pipe but
the snow was no good, so I only got eight runs, so I focused on my training.
I went to the Open looking to just enjoy it. Coming back from Japan, I
went from hating it to things being so swe-e-e-t, and I got to drop in
after Terje�he's so rad to watch, so inspirational for me�and I landed
all three of my runs. From crashing just before the Open, something was
pushing me all the way through. Maybe third time's a charm, huh? It was
pretty cool."
