That's how you jump or that's how you, you know, get an athletic stance.

But with, um, prosthetic legs, our ankles don't bend.

I mean, even really the best prosthetics, your ankles bend very, very little because, um,

If you have too much motion, then you're kind of all over the place.

You can't control it.

So my ankles were very stiff.

And I actually remember the day that I tried to snowboard again.

I went up with my sister and, you know, just put my normal gear on everything.

I remember everything felt so weird trying to just even walk in the snow and not feel my feet.

I was kind of slipping around.

And then as we were on the chairlift going up, I think that's when it really hit me, kind of the fear of what if I can't do this.

That's when it hit me.

Because the whole time, that seven months, I kept thinking, I'm going to snowboard.

I'm going to do this.

I'm going to get my legs.

I'm going to walk.

I'm going to learn to snowboard.

Whatever I need to do to snowboard.

But then all of a sudden that moment was there.

Yeah.
