And the knee brace that was supposed to be holding it broke and stuck in between the tibia and the femur.

didn't even crash pulled off and i was bawling i was i was 11 i was crying and my dad comes over he's like you broken or are you you tore ligaments or break i said both he kind of laughed it was i was right actually by the way and i was just i was bawling he said man i've seen someone get shot that cried less than you suck it up and the whole lesson of that was he's like he

you're gonna have pain and stuff.

He goes, you gotta be tougher.

And my mom was also mad at him for being so mean.

But they were always supportive of everything I wanted to do.

And dad never said go faster, never got mad at me for doing everything.

But he was like, one, have respect, and two, don't be a sissy.

And I think that mentality

really helped me through, through action sports and helped me in life in general.

I think it was a lot of nurture in there and just being brought up.

My dad was one of nine.

You know, he had five brothers.

They were all very tough.

They all worked construction.

Everyone was together all the time.

My grandma fixed lunch for all of us every day that we were home.

It was family.

It was a lot of that.

A lot of support, but a lot of that.
