When you think about it, we're strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It's pretty intense.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Despite all I have seen and experienced, I still get the same simple thrill out of glimpsing a tiny patch of snow in a high mountain gully and feel the same urge to climb towards it.
I've reached my goal with snowboarding.
It's about the pleasure of being in the mountains, traveling efficiently over the terrain, having that sense of dynamic motion which you don't get when you're on foot.
It's the board I had a problem with. I could totally handle being in the water and stuff. I came here to do my own stunts. Water! Ocean! Action! Big waves! That water, that water has tamed me. You can feel that the world is connected to it.
I think snow is so evocative and has such a powerful atmosphere.
To do anything in this world worth doing, we must not stand back shivering and thinking of the cold and danger, but jump in, and scramble through as well as we can.
I seem to be landing really great locations on a lot of my work. I hope that continues, knock on wood.
I love the fact that we are surrounded by this spectacular natural beauty that routinely strikes us dead. Hikers walk off into the woods and are never seen again. And still we tug on our fleece and skip off into the wilderness, not a care in the world.
My favorite thing is just walking in the woods. I can do it for days on end without tiring of it.
I just thought that it was magical having to glide across the ice.
