We'll go to the next event and try to win that thing.
But anyway, so that was an amazing situation where I was pretty convinced I wasn't going to do well and somehow pulled it out.
Nailed it.
There's been a couple of those.
There was one where I actually set the record for the highest air out of the half pipe.
And the best part of the story is, is that the morning of I had, I think I was fighting a cold.
And so like, you know, if you work out or you do something strenuous, like your body's fighting the cold, not repairing the muscles.
So I woke up and I could barely walk.
I was so tired.
And I call my coach, different coach at this point.
He comes over and shows up with giant bags of ice.
And like we fill the bathtubs, hot water and cold water.
And I just start going back and forth.
I'm like, okay, I got maybe like three runs, four runs in me max.
So let's do like a pretty simple warmup run and then just try to do it in the contest and get it done.
And I drop in.
Yeah, I drop in.
I can't stop.
My leg is so tired and so worn that if I, I can't use it to break, like there's not, like it would have folded on me.
And so I went so big cause I couldn't stop.
