you know show up to the event and like you know the pipe's not built for the first two days because it was a really bad winter so it was pretty dry and like they're like oh there's only one day of practice like literally like all these weird things like i show up for this practice session and then the the machine that builds the half pipes broke oh i flew to canada and then the canada like a giant storm blew in and then i was like okay well we gotta go back to mammoth mountains i go fly to mammoth mountain i got there and um i got really ill i just got a flu or something and
So all these weird things kept me.

I haven't done.
I did the trick like twice, I think.
I finally just like got it done.
But I hadn't done like repetition.

And I'm flying to the Olympics like, well, I guess we'll just do it when we get there.

There's one more run.
And I was just like, I want to win this.
