I, the term is, I snagged it.

It's not, I didn't really catch it because what you're trying to do is a specific tricking thing, right?

And what makes it a game is that it matters that you did it that particular hard way, right?

Does that make sense?

And under this, under the Shuta's description,

Anything could be a game, but not everything is a game because it depends on why you're doing it.

By the way, tell me if I'm rambling on too long.

This is like a topic on which I could talk infinitely.

But one easy example, he says, is imagine two people climbing a mountain together next to each other.

One is climbing it because there's some rare medicine at the top that they really want.

And the other is a rock climber, right?

They're a mountaineer.

They're engaged in the game of rock climbing.

And the way you can tell that one is playing a game and the other is not is if like somebody passes by in a helicopter and says, hey, do you want a quick ride to the top?

Then the person who just wants to get there for the medicine, right?

They're like, of course, I just want the goddamn medicine so I don't die.

Get me to the top as quickly as possible.

And the mountain climber, and this is really important, it doesn't matter if they're a professional or an amateur.

It doesn't matter if they're doing it for the reward of being the world's top mountain climber or if they're doing it for pure joy.

The mountain climber who's playing a game will reject the helicopter because it doesn't count as climbing the mountain unless you did it under a specific set of constraints.
