00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:13.359
On set. Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the Lan's Body Podcast with your
2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:30.280
host Benji Weatherly. It's the podcast
where you learn absolutely nothing. Okay,
3
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:38.240
here we go, let's potty.
Season three episode This one I'm you know,
4
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:43.359
privileged to have. This is the
Burton Month. We're doing snowboarding,
5
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.880
my favorite thing in the world and
the reason why I'm actually here in one
6
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.200
of Jake Burton's sons homes. So
if we have today a youngster in the
7
00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:00.640
game of being a pro snowboard woman. And I got the privileged to go
8
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.519
to Europe with this young lady and
get to know her and love the human
9
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.959
being that she is. And our
guest today is Gracie. You just did
10
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.439
one of the biggest handrails, uh, any woman's ever done. And where
11
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.200
oh Nova, Scotia, Scotia,
So tell us about what that was like.
12
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.239
And for the people out there that
don't know what doing a rail and
13
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.200
a snowboard is, it's basically like
brush and roulette with a gun. You
14
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.200
push a button and if the gun
goes off, you die, and if
15
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.920
not, you make it. And
you're like, yeah, I live.
16
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.640
So doing rails is always terrified me. And you do the craziest one.
17
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.159
So what what kind of stem that
scene? It's on video obviously, right,
18
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.879
Yeah, okay, tell us about
that? Is that in that movie?
19
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.000
I just watched The Crazy Burden Win
with all you guys doing. No,
20
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.000
that was I was filming last season. Okay, so this is just
21
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.680
recent, right, Yeah, talk
to hear this story. There's not really
22
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.560
a crazy story about it. But
how'd you find it? Uh? We
23
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.760
just kind of came across it.
And what was that? Like? Were
24
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.120
you driving around and like, oh
shit, look at that? So tell
25
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.080
us about that? Like action,
like, we don't go around looking for
26
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.199
crazy shit to die on. Yeah, so we were driving around like,
27
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.560
oh that's scary. Actually, the
homie Ian lives there and he was like
28
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.759
kind of filling us in on certain
spots and yeah, we came across that
29
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.000
thing. He like sent us a
photo of it, and I really like
30
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:31.360
big rails and like, where the
heck did that come from? Are you
31
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.639
like the Kings too? In the
real the Kinks? Yeah? So yeah,
32
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.479
this one was perfect. And it
was calling my name and yeah,
33
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.360
I love that calling your name.
He's pretty insane. So was Louis there?
34
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.560
When I say Louis until I call
Luke uh in Australian people, but
35
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:59.360
it was Luke there present and by
the way, Luke Winkleman so the most
36
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.479
dying piece dream boy cuddle bug of
all time. Luke her boyfriend. He's
37
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.719
also a Burton team writer and I've
known him since he was a little kid.
38
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.520
He's there and he told me about
it. He said it was then
39
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.080
earliest rail ever. So is he
doing the rail with you or are you
40
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.319
there filming and he's watching? They
were originally because Rob was there too,
41
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.319
and Robin Luke wanted to hit it, but I was kind of it was
42
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.039
kind of like when you're on a
street trip. It's kind of like you
43
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:35.960
take turns right and they had gotten
clips and I was really attracted to this
44
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.319
rail, and yeah, it was
kind of my turn and they were gonna
45
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.560
maybe hit it afterwards. It didn't
work out that way, but yeah,
46
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.879
I kind of just was like,
yep, this is this is mine and
47
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.000
can we get technical like was it
a backside? Like were you coming up
48
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.400
on that thing? Front side?
Backside? What was it? I just
49
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.199
front fifty front fifty day, Yeah, and explain that because she doesn't stole
50
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.000
word and stuff that would be like
she's your regular foot, right regular foot.
51
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.680
She was coming up the front side
like that instead of like for me,
52
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.360
it would be terrifying to go backside
because you're if you hit, you're
53
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.800
going to face first. She's going
back right like that, right, yeah,
54
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.600
going back. So I did fall
pretty good one time because the stairs
55
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.720
were tight, Like there's two railings
and the stairs were pretty tight, so
56
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.319
you had to go out that way
when you're bailing. Yeah, OK,
57
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.680
hopefully, And like one of the
times, I rode down the stairs and
58
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.839
then like caught the last support at
the end, which actually has never happened
59
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.800
to me before, and I've always
wondered what that was going to be like
60
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.560
when it happened, So it was
like it was good to get out,
61
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.199
and the boys like fluffed up the
landing really well so it didn't hurt,
62
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.279
but it was kind of crazy to
like actually get my board stuck in the
63
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.839
support and like fly forward like yeah, and then you went back up and
64
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.839
nailed it a couple more. I
think I think that's my favorite thing about
65
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.240
skating and snowboarding. We don't have
it in surfing, where you can try
66
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.399
a trick over and over. Now
we do with waite poles but you never
67
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.079
have that. You have one opportunity
maybe once a month to get that lip
68
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.800
in that perfect section. But with
you guys, you're always like wiping off
69
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.199
blood, like you know, just
eight shit so many times and then you
70
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.959
finally nail it and all your friends
are there and you're just like, yes,
71
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.079
that's right. It's like almost like
conquering something like I'm sure after you
72
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.560
took a pretty good dig, it
sounds like you got back up there and
73
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.480
you had a couple more digs and
then boom, nailed it. Yeah,
74
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:38.720
but I'm kind of obsessed with that, like the whole process of like failing,
75
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.759
yeah, until you win or succeed. It's like your guys own baseball
76
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.759
game. At the end, you're
like, you hit the game winner when
77
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.120
you nail it. I don't want
to go too far down the family tree,
78
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:54.319
but we can, which I love. Your younger brother is a good
79
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.839
snowarre yeah, and your younger sister
is a pretty damn good snowbard to hurt,
80
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.160
right? And is that your parents
snowboarding and skiing? How did you
81
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.560
guys get into this? My dad
has like always loved snowboarding. Snowboard yeah
82
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.839
cool, oh yeah, and yeah
he taught all of us when we were
83
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.839
like four, and we're all like
three years apart. So for him,
84
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.839
it was probably really cool teaching one
and then right when that one can like
85
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:29.319
carve down the hill by themselves onto
the next. Yeah. So now he's
86
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.519
kind of like, you guys,
baby girl, baby girls, one of
87
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.240
the best snowboarders in the world right
now? Is he just the happiest dad
88
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.720
ever right now? Dude? Yeah, he's wearing red Bull. He's my
89
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.319
biggest supporter. Yeah, he does
like to wear the Red Bull. Who
90
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.240
doesn't. It's like established. Is
mom into the sports? Uh? Yeah,
91
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:58.839
she's super into sports, super competitive. During that process, I think
92
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.240
she kind of like missed her window
of learning how to snowboard because she had
93
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.079
my older brother pretty young and then
kind of just kept popping us out.
94
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.120
So she's pregnant for like a lot
of that. And then yeah, kind
95
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.600
of her she dislocated or not dislocated, she rubbed her a disc in her
96
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:26.720
neck, So snowboarding, not snowboarding, just being a mom natural call.
97
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.319
I guess I don't really know how
it happened, but yeah, then she
98
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.079
was kinda like, I don't know
about this snowboarding thing, but she's a
99
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:41.639
snowboarder at heart. She loves it. Little hold your little sister seventeen seventeen,
100
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.000
it's seventeen. How are you twenty
three? Three? And then your
101
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.800
brother is held twenty twenty okay,
and then my older brother is twenty four
102
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.720
kids, there's four oh okay,
yeah, and everyone rips. Everyone's ready.
103
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.439
That's so cool. Yeah, so
sick family trips still going on or
104
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.000
you guys all have your own lives
now. Family trip occasionally. I think
105
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.720
it's hard to like get everyone together
and you guys are getting to that age
106
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.759
and your expensive expensive. Yeah,
that's why I know people. So,
107
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.720
how did it was a volleyball before
you started snowboarding? No, I've been
108
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:22.560
snowboarding forever whatever. Yeah, and
then I've played soccer like my entire childhood.
109
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.639
I think I saw you at the
Bash playing soccer right, Yes,
110
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.319
that was actually heated. Yeah,
yeah, they had girls were going hard.
111
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.600
You were going on right well?
Position forward? Is that the one
112
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.559
that scores all the goals? Yes? Yes, I like scar goals On

then volleyball came later when you were a
121
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:20.519
team. Volleyball came in like middle
school, and yeah, my mom was
122
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.679
a volleyball player and she pushed me
to do it or try it. And
123
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.159
I really liked how fast it was. Is this the six on one side?
124
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.159
Six or five and six and six
and six and and you I was
125
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:43.919
like defensive specialists, So I was
like in the back my major to do
126
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.919
her sport. Yeah right, she
likes the action. But tell everybody out
127
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.919
there, I heard you had a
scholarship, right, yeah right, I
128
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.320
got a full ride to my community
college and you had Did you end up
129
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.960
going or did you go? I
went for a year? How that experience
130
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.799
it was good, but the volleyball
side of it was crazy, because my
131
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.120
high school team was like better than
my college chef. So it's kind of
132
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.679
like, uh, I don't know
about this, Oh really yeah, but
133
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.879
it was really fun, really cool
experience. Do you like the school part
134
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.720
of it? Yeah, social,
I kind of love school. Not that
135
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.360
I'm good at it or anything.
I think. I don't know. It's
136
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.600
weird like doing well in assignments or
like figuring out a problem makes me feel
137
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.039
good. It's kind of been weird
without it because I haven't gone in like
138
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.960
two years now. Yes, kind
of finish my last class at twenty three
139
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.120
in you're a pro board sporder.
It's your prime. It's this is the
140
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.919
time where you have to push,
you have to be super focused. But
141
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.879
it's all new, and I want
to talk about this experience next. You're
142
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.000
from the city, not city,
but small mountains, if you will,
143
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.679
And you're really good, and so
is boyfriend. He's from North Carolina and
144
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.600
she's from Michigan, and I wish
I remember the city, but it's outside
145
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.919
of Detroit, right, yeah,
okay, And there's not really big mountains
146
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.519
there. And I can't wait to
ask you how bald Face was because it's
147
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.559
it's like a surfing your whole life
and a three foot waves and then all
148
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.480
of a sudden you go surf why
man like or toropu or something, and
149
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.519
it's the best feeling. But it's
so different. And you were telling me
150
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.120
on our last trip together something the
other night that you couldn't do it.
151
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.200
You're like, I don't understand what
I'm doing. And she's a pro snowboarder,
152
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.720
but it's it's when you write powder. It's just that you have to
153
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.279
get on the back foot. It's
a totally different sensation. But how was
154
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.279
that experience? And I know you
struggled in beginning, but you got it
155
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.240
probably towards the first end day and
you love it. Right, it was
156
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.600
fun. It was so fun.
Yeah, how'd that all come about?
157
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.600
When Luke went obviously? Yeah,
I guess I could fill you in on
158
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:01.279
like the Michigan scene where I'm from
Michigan, Like outside of Detroit is super
159
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.159
flat. There's like no hills,
and so all of our ski hills are
160
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.559
old garbage hills, like their old
landfills. Wow that they put like a
161
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:20.120
toe rope and a couple of chair
lifts on. So it's like not that
162
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.000
eventful to learn how to snowboard.
There because you're just riding like a couple
163
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.799
hundred feet down the hill and then
you get back on the lift. Uh.
164
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.279
So that's where like these toe ropes
really come into the picture because they'll
165
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.879
you can get up to the top
in ten seconds and lap features over and
166
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.960
over and over again. So like
snowboarding to me was always hit a rail
167
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.159
ride, a couple of feet hit
a rail ride, a couple of feet
168
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.120
hit another rail, hop back on
the toe rope, go up, and
169
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:01.639
just like for hours, never on
strap. It's continuous skateboarder. You're just
170
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.799
in a parking lot doing rails pretty
much. That's cool. Yeah, was
171
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.440
that not to interrupt, sorry,
but is that ever a time when you
172
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.279
first started you're on a real mountain
or did all your beginnings were from that?
173
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:20.039
Yeah, that's amazing. And then
I think I was like twelve or
174
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.279
no, thirteen or something when we
went to Colorado for the first time,
175
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.279
and I was like completely mind boned. What was the first run? Like
176
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.320
when you're getting like groomers and you're
like what And I was just like,
177
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:39.000
holy shit, my legs are on
fire, Like this run is forever seriously,
178
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.919
So yeah, like transitioning from that
kind of snowboarding that I was used
179
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.039
to my whole life, to cat
rinning at Bald Face on real like real
180
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.840
life like snow from the sky.
A lot of people done snowboard and know
181
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.840
what a cat is this? Where
was this trip you just want in Bald
182
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.639
Face is? It's literally the top
of the mountain of snowboarding. It's just
183
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.519
the most amazing trip you could ever
go on. But you have to take
184
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:11.240
these big basically like a tank with
these big giant things on the side that
185
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.639
take you straight up these mountains and
you drop off. But was this recent
186
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.799
like a couple months ago, like
three weeks ago, three weeks ago,
187
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:24.320
and she's at the best snowboard powder
mountain in the world. And how was
188
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.240
the first ride? It was like
you get in the tank that we're talking
189
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.600
about and they're going up. Are
you nervous? You're like, I don't
190
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.039
know what to expect because I know
you know how to snowboard better than anybody,
191
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.039
but like at that point you're like, I've never really done this.
192
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.240
I was really nervous because everyone was
so good, right and I was the
193
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.879
best people in the world to it
was kind of like I'm like learning how
194
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:50.799
to carve on this stuff and like
ride a powder board. So definitely completely
195
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:58.360
out of my element, but it
was like an exciting exciting nerves because also
196
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.080
growing up I watched a lot of
like backcountry videos, like my dad would
197
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.200
just throw them on the TV.
So that to me was like what being
198
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:16.320
a professional snowboarder looks like. And
so in my mind that was like never
199
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.159
attainable, Like it just seemed like
kind of a fairy tale. So it's
200
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.200
kind of like your dreams game trope
kind of. Yeah, I still it
201
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.639
doesn't really feel like I just went
there and did that. The first run,
202
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.159
you're bluebird or is it cloud?
Is it clouds? Had cloudy?
203
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.600
So it's kind of hard when it's
dead light like that, how do you
204
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.600
call it? Like whatever, the
light's not low light is hard and powder
205
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.240
it's hard and snowboarding for me.
But so your first run, you're at
206
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.120
the top a little nervous but excited. Yeah, and so what happened on
207
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.759
the first round and you go down
head over hills? What happened? No,
208
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.759
that was like a couple of runs
in but uh, they kind of
209
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.559
ease you into it, like you
have guides when you go and they start
210
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.399
you off on something pretty mellow so
you can get your feet under you and
211
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.360
then you like slowly get to better
terrain. So the first roe was chill
212
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.159
and nice, open, no trees. First run, yeah, I was
213
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.399
open, open. The trees are
the trip apart, dude, I don't
214
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:19.919
even know. I was like just
full survival moment, like, oh my
215
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.840
god, my first trip. I
went to Wiggley's you heard of Wiggleish in
216
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:29.840
Canada, And I went with Terry
Hawkinson and Brianagucci and Dave Downing and I'm
217
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.000
nineteen years old and this other pro
surfer that passed away was with us,
218
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.200
and the whole time they're like,
just stay out of the trees, don't
219
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.679
fall in the whales. If there's
an avalanche, you got you know,
220
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.759
you learn how to do the beeper
everything. I'm a surfer from Hawaiian I'm
221
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.559
like, I'm gonna have to try
to find you guys if you fall.
222
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.360
I'm like what? And I ended
up getting in a powder what do you
223
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.799
call the pillows? And I'm in
the pillows and it fell on top of
224
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.159
me. And Dave watched Downing.
He was a good friend of mine,
225
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.879
and he saw the avalanche coming on
top of me and I almost got kind
226
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.720
of caught in it, and he
goes, that was way everything. You
227
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.079
know what just happened because I didn't
know what was happening. And the people
228
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.319
after us actually died an avalanche the
next trip after us, and the guy
229
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.000
ron was our guide, send me
a postcard, because that's how old I
230
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.039
am at postcards. And he sent
a postcard saying the whole crew except him
231
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.799
and the other person guide lived so
sad. But that whole backcountry is it's
232
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.039
for real that you like, let's
go do it, but it's there's so
233
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.480
much to it. It's like going, I take you to Jaws and you've
234
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.119
never done it. It's like you
got to know how to get out of
235
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.400
trouble. And did you ever get
in trouble on that trip? No,
236
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.000
it just smooth. It went really
smooth, okay, and we were with
237
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.319
a lot of people that really knew
what they were doing. But yeah,
238
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.119
I think that's a lot of what
makes me so nervous is that I'm super
239
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.480
uneducated back there. Did you have
to go through the whole test of finding
240
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.799
the beepers? Yeah, you like
learn how to use so for annie,
241
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.640
they they give you these things around
your chest that are beepers, right,
242
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.599
and so if she gets caught in
an avalanche, all of us have to
243
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.880
turn our beebers to a different sequence
or signal yeah, the search beep beep
244
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:11.720
beep, and we as a team
had to get around the perimeter and try
245
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.759
to find them. And they make
you do that when you're like a bunch
246
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.680
of times under the snow exactly,
and it's but they do it and and
247
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.839
and you have to learn how to
do it. And there's times where I
248
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.440
can't figure it out, and they're
like, Okay, let's go, and
249
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.079
I'm like, but I didn't find
my friend, you know, and you're
250
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.039
like, fuck, I didn't even
know how to do that. And now
251
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.400
we're going up in the plane or
you know, helicopter usually, and then
252
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.000
you're like, but I didn't even
figure out how to work this thing,
253
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.480
Like I could never find my friend
in time for him to be alive still
254
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.240
or her, And so it was
terrifying because that's what you learn how to
255
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.240
do. And then you go up
and you're like, what if that happens?
256
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.039
You know, it's it's it's for
real stuff. It's just like big
257
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:49.559
wave surfing where you're like this is
gonna be rad and then you're out there
258
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.319
you're like, oh shit, like
we could die really easy. But uh,
259
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.160
whether that must have been a pretty
good eye opening. Is it something
260
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.559
that you want to keep going after? Definitely? Oh right, And I
261
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:06.200
want to do some like I need
to get educated on it, So that's
262
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.359
cool. I want to do some
courses and it's just reps. You just
263
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.519
gotta keep going. Yeah, and
you have the opportunity now, Yeah,
264
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.200
he'd probably be really good with those. Man, you know, when you
265
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.559
make your own jumps into the pow, that's my favorite. Don't tell Mark
266
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.240
that though. I mean, I'm
not used to the airtime really much either.
267
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.359
I'm sure it'd be good. One
day. We'll get there. And
268
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.079
Luke too. Luke's but he's not
really slope, right, that's just staying
269
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.720
slope. Yeah, he's a jumper. Her boyfriend is he's a dining piece
270
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.240
and he's good at everything. When
I met him, he was twelve,
271
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.240
and he was this little cute kid
and he's like, oh, there's there's
272
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.920
a fucking mini ram right there.
He's like, I want to ride that.
273
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.039
And it was right when I met
him, and it was in Long
274
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.640
Island at the carpenter's house and he
just started doing Allie cake flips and of
275
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.519
it. And I'm like, oh, this little kid's really good. And
276
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.240
they're like, yeah, he writes
for Burton, and I was like,
277
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:56.880
oh, he's just no order too, Like it was just like this kid
278
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.039
and watching him grow up that was
ten years ago, because now he's twenty
279
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.960
three and now just you and him
together, it's so exciting and fun.
280
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.240
And we went to Europe. We
went to Switzerland and Austria together, right
281
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.119
We went to a few places and
had some fun. The the whole team
282
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.359
of Burton right now is the best
it's ever been. And I've been with
283
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.799
them for almost thirty years and the
team right now, you guys have the
284
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.240
coolest fucking team, dude. I'm
so honored to be a part of it.
285
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.319
You got just your girl squad is
like, and we're all so close
286
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.480
and we have so much love for
each other. It's it's insane. It's
287
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.799
seriously so crazy to see where the
women are now. And yeah, it's
288
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.880
insane. Like I just came from
an event in Salt Lake called the Uninvited
289
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:47.839
that Jess Kamara started, and yeah, there was like uninvited because it's kind
290
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.799
of playing on the women not being
invited kind of. Yeah, that's right
291
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.400
exactly. And it started off as
like video based, and she would like
292
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.400
hit all these girls up from around
the world and get their street footage and
293
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:06.359
put it into video to just like
highlight us and and for to give us
294
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.759
opportunity to be the star. And
yeah, she's turned it into a contest.
295
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.039
And there was over seventy girls there
that were like absolutely ripping, all
296
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.319
from around the world. And it
was just the craziest thing I've ever seen.
297
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.799
Because I grew up and I was
the only girl in the park my
298
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:32.160
entire life. I didn't even know
that there's other girls out there, and
299
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.240
now to see it, it's so
crazy. Especially skateboarding too, dude.
300
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.839
Yeah, I think I think we're
like a little bit behind skateboarding, So
301
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.839
it's like cool to kind of see
into the future when you look at skates.
302
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.359
Do you see the girls this year? Yeah, we just went to
303
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.079
Street League the other day. Oh
you went to that because it's super cool.
304
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.480
It was insane and all the girls
were under seventeen years old. The
305
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.480
new generation coming up is insane.
Like the fourteen year old I'm like,
306
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.640
the what is go down crazy rails
stuff. They do the heaviest drinks with
307
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:10.559
like the sickest style to I'm like, damn, weird. Your favorite skater
308
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.640
girl after street leak this girl Chloe
Chloe. Yeah, she's like fourteen.
309
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:22.319
She's the youngest X Games medalist ever
or something. I mean, I don't
310
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.079
know if you've watched Hot Coco or
not. I saw the one with you
311
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.000
guys doing crazy rails all the girls. What was that movie Hot Coco?
312
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:34.799
That was it's all you guys are
Nora and I and uh Luke and no
313
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.759
that's bloom Okay, so no,
I didn't see this one. Yeah,
314
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:45.799
this is not last I only saw
the one I think I saw. Then
315
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:52.000
you should watch Hot Coco because yeah, it's like all women just put a
316
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:57.119
Coco section of her right here in
the podcast and started right here. It's
317
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.920
going to start right here. It's
three point two minutes. What is it?
318
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.279
Three minutes? How long is your
part? I mean I don't have
319
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.359
a full part, okay, but
this is like in kind of a cool
320
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:15.839
time where I like s I signed
with Burton while the girls were filming for
321
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.039
this project, and then I like
squeezed into the last trip so I have
322
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.680
like four clips in the movie.
Yeah, that's perfect. We won't put
323
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.160
all four, We'll play three and
a half. That was good. I'm
324
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.799
just so happy that I was able
to squeeze in there because it's got a
325
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.319
legendary video. Yeah, you got
to get in these starting points. That's
326
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.279
what how I made a living is
getting in the most important moments in the
327
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.960
beginning. So how do you get
linked up with Burton in the first place?
328
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.640
When I was like seventeen, I
they hit me up to just give
329
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:57.200
me some free gear and boards,
and I was like completely shocked because I
330
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:03.000
never really tried to pete or like
thought I was good at snowboarding. I
331
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.279
just kind of like I was trying
to keep up with my brothers and be
332
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.759
like, yeah, I could do
this too. So yeah, that like
333
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:17.839
changed kind of everything for me.
Where I went from just snowboarding because I
334
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.559
thought it was fun and trying to
keep up with my brothers to being like,
335
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.559
damn, like I just got a
free snowboard, Like that's crazy.
336
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.960
So was that like the moment you
were like, oh I could do this
337
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.160
professionally. Not at all. No, I was still just like so hyped
338
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:40.160
that my dad didn't have to buy
me boards anymore. And yeah, I
339
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:47.000
think I'm still kind of trying to
comprehend the whole pro snowboarder thing. It's
340
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.599
kind of crazy. I yeah,
and I haven't really hit that moment where
341
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.160
I'm like, damn, I'm actually
good at this. I love your sensibility
342
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.680
and your your She told me,
I don't even know out a snowboard,
343
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.839
and she said it like for real, and I there's got to be some
344
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.559
sarcasm behind it, because obviously snowboard, but just the way you go about
345
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.200
it is so cute and humble and
so rad. No, but I'm really
346
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:17.839
genuinely not trying to be like that. There's just so much to snowboarding that
347
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.720
you have a lot of respect for
it. Yeah, that I really haven't
348
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.359
even get my toe into. So
I'm like so excited to just keep learning
349
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:32.519
and progressing. I feel like I'm
just starting. You know, you're humble
350
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.799
and honest. Those are two traits
that not many young people have, and
351
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.519
it's it's refreshing on a level that
makes me smile so hard. Yeah,
352
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.720
I mean, I just I want
to see now. I'm super interested in
353
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.599
seeing you go backcountry and getting better
because like you said you love the process
354
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.240
of accomplishing things. Well, guess
what, You're gonna have so much fun
355
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.839
doing that one because it's fun and
excited. Other than Mark mac Morris's last
356
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:03.039
injury, Powder is usually pretty forgiving. It's just Mark is a gnarly dude
357
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.240
and he gets in situations where he
puts him you know. I mean,
358
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.519
Mark is a warrior, Kid's been
through a lot insane. I think that's
359
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.319
the thing too, is like I
went from like not knowing a single professional
360
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:21.960
snowboarder or really paying super close attention
to the scene much like I'm a very
361
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.720
uneducated snowboarder. But now, to
be honest, it's really it's really cool
362
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:33.319
that like all of the best snowboarders
are like my best friends. Know you're
363
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.880
around the best. I'm kind of
like, yeah, maybe that's the reason
364
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.440
that I'm frented in my place.
I mean, if you could imagine,
365
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:48.319
you couldn't be talking to a more
relatable person because I grew up Mike.
366
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.119
Mike, when I was with you
in Europe, that's the best snow wars
367
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.720
in the world, best team in
the world, and I know you're just
368
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.200
like me where you're like I'm supposed
to be with these guys. I was
369
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:02.200
Kelly Slater and Shane Doran and all
the best service in the world my whole
370
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.920
career, and I'm like, I
don't belong he who int I've always been
371
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.519
the I'm just kidding wrong guys.
I'm in the back joking because it's like,
372
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:12.799
really because those kids are so focused, like we're saying the mc morris
373
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.680
is and all these guys that you're
around, and it's like, fuck,
374
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.359
did I put as much work in
and you had all these things go into
375
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.519
your mind? But you do belong, Yeah, And that's what's cool.
376
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.039
But I do think that that's what
makes it kind of weird where they've been,
377
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:33.359
Like all my friends that are competing
today have been doing that forever,
378
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.920
and they've been putting so much work
in and they've been taking snowboarding very seriously.
379
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.440
I'm just so grateful for the opportunities
to like reach out and explore too.
380
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:47.359
And I feel like this year was
a big year for community for me.
381
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.599
Like I think I did a lot
of events and met a lot of
382
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.559
kids and people that were into snowboarding, and just like getting the opportunity to
383
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:03.400
share your love for it is really
special and something that I've learned a lot
384
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:08.480
about lately, Like even the stuff
that Zeb does with Slide into her where
385
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:14.599
it's like for anyone of any skill
level to get together and it doesn't matter
386
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.000
how good you are, We're all
just together and it's a community and we
387
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.400
love the same thing. And I
think it's special, and all board sports
388
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.720
are kind of like that, where
it doesn't matter what age you are or
389
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:33.799
where you come from or anything.
You're just out there and spreading love and
390
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.799
riding together and on the same level, you know. And that's what Jake
391
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.519
always wanted, and that's why I
always preached his community. And it's so
392
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.680
cool that we have that. You
can't go play basketball with your friends,
393
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:48.599
you know, and have the same
kind of feeling we have. You know,
394
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.640
it's definitely a family in a community. What else you got of there?
395
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.839
I'm excited She's going to ask you
some really personal stuff right now.
396
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.640
Oh God, We'rei's the one that
makes does really good stuff. Yeah,
397
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.400
I mean who, like, you
have so many rid people around you?
398
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.440
Are there like any specific names that
you look up to or like want to
399
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.319
emulate as you kind of round out
your snowboarding war overall? My biggest inspiration
400
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:26.240
in snowboarding is my little brother really
yeah, Drake Warner. He is just
401
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.000
the sickest I love the way that
he rides his snowboard and ever since I
402
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:36.480
was a kid, I've been inspired
by him. So that's definitely number one.
403
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:40.839
Other than that, all of my
friends inspire me so much. I
404
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:47.400
think a big one is Ilva,
not necessarily even for her snowboarding, just
405
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.519
like the person she is, and
her snowboarding is just like aig gold cherry
406
00:29:51.559 --> 00:30:00.119
on top for sure. But yeah, I think as far as inspiration and
407
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:08.119
on like my riding specifically, I'm
I kind of like, I don't know,
408
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:14.079
just do what makes me feel good. It's very much like an art
409
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:21.759
form to me totally, where like
I'm not really forcing it and I don't
410
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:27.319
know, just like the way that
I move my body feels like art.
411
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.279
You know. I love it.
It sounds kind of weird maybe, but
412
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.279
no, it is. I mean
I can't speak for snowboarding as much just
413
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:37.640
because I'm not around it a ton, but I mean, at least I
414
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:42.039
know for surfing, like it is
art and you're basically doing the same thing
415
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:47.160
just on snow Yeah, It's like
the way people do like specific turns or
416
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:52.039
carves and stuff like that. Like, yeah, it's just gorgeous to watch.
417
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.599
Yeah, and it's such like a
personal relationship that I have with my
418
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.400
snowboard No, for sure. Do
you have any like relationships with like certain
419
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:10.839
mountains? Definitely my home mountain yea
Alpine Valley really kind of ratchet place,
420
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:17.440
but I love it something about like
the crunginess and I don't know, it's
421
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:22.839
tiny and there's really not many rules, and yeah, it always felt like
422
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.680
home to me. I love that. Yeah. So any of your siblings
423
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.839
trying to be pros too or do
they just love it and go rit?
424
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:37.359
They love it. My younger brother
actually rides for the Rome team and he's
425
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:45.480
killing it. I hope he's gonna
start getting more opportunities here soon. But
426
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.359
I could definitely see him going pro
for sure. Like my friend Savannah and
427
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.319
I, who is also a pro
snowboarder. She rides for Ride and Vans
428
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:01.160
and maybe some other stuff. She's
awesome them. She was around for a
429
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:07.200
little bit but then moved to Vermont
when we were like fifteen sixteen, And
430
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:12.279
yeah, she was kind of the
only other girl that I'd ride with.
431
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.119
But it didn't last very long.
So yeah, I didn't have really girls
432
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:22.400
to look up to, just because
snowboarding what to me was what was in
433
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.039
from. Yeah, you have your
own path, man, from all the
434
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.839
stuff we've been hearing, it's like
she has her own path. What about
435
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.119
this journal I wrote the other night? See journal a lot? Yeah,
436
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.839
yeah, you didn't read my journal, but I did. No, I'm
437
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:44.160
just kidding. I didn't read it. But is that something that you get
438
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:50.839
all the stuff off your chest at
Luke's bugging you about? I started journaling
439
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:57.480
like three years ago, continuously,
like I would journal here and there growing
440
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:07.119
up. But yeah, I think
my life went from being pretty I don't
441
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.160
know how to explain it, but
like steady to now it's pretty crazy and
442
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:16.400
I can't really keep up with all
of my adventures and travels. So it's
443
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:22.680
cool to write it down and have
something to look at. Also, Like,
444
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.400
I feel like it'd be so cool
to have all these journals that your
445
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.839
kids can go through when you're older, sure, or like when I'm like
446
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:35.200
an old woman, like sitting watching
the news or something, I can like
447
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.799
sit there and read stuff that I
wrote from when I was twenty, like
448
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.240
talking about mine. Yeah, me
and my friends did it too, and
449
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.920
then you stop because you're a jerk. I don't want to stop. I
450
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.359
hope that I keep going. I'm
the same way, and I love being
451
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.200
able to even just see how like
my mindset has changed. So you guys
452
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.440
go back and read your journals.
So I would always write in it,
453
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:00.680
and only for a while. I'm
not going to say that I did it
454
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.599
for that long, probably like five
years, but all our friends we had
455
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.359
this thing called a friend saver.
It was insane. It was the coolest
456
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.039
thing ever. But you guys do
go back and read it totally. Really
457
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:15.840
Yeah, do I ever go back
and read anything I've ever done? I
458
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.880
think and it probably helps. It's
like therapy. Oh like I was thinking
459
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.039
that. Yeah. I mean for
me, at least, it was.
460
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.639
It's nice like it, I don't
know, kind of keeps me centered in
461
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.159
a way because you know, you're
journaling when you're in like a really bad
462
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:31.360
space, and you're also journaling when
you're like, this was the best day
463
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:35.039
I've ever had in my life.
Yeah, So being able to, like
464
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:38.000
when I'm having a really bad day
and you know you're in that headspace where
465
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.519
you're like it's never going to be
better, Like I'm just in such a
466
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.880
deep hole to go back and read
like all those really good days, you're
467
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.079
like, okay, that is going
to come, Like it'll circle back around
468
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.960
and then I'll be there and then
yeah, you know, something will happen
469
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.639
and it might get a little lower, but then it'll always go back up
470
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:59.920
again. And it kind of puts
a lot of things into perspective. Love
471
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.960
that, and it's very self therapeutic
too, because once you start writing a
472
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.159
couple of sentences and then you get
that out of the way and you're like
473
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:13.719
digging deeper into like how you actually
feel or what that experience actually meant to
474
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.599
you. Yeah, it's like when
people hold things in it's not good.
475
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.159
Like if you write it out,
it's like getting it out. Yeah.
476
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.400
Yeah. Like stream of consciousness journaling
I think is really cool because like a
477
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:25.960
lot of them. When I journal, it's like just me writing down like
478
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.199
everything that happened in a day because
I have a terrible memory, so I'm
479
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:31.679
like, yeah, I want to
write everything down so I remember it later.
480
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.559
Same. Yeah, But then there's
like stream of consciousness journaling, which
481
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.400
like if I'm really upset about something, I'll usually do more of that where
482
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:44.199
you just start writing like everything that's
going through your head. You always end
483
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.840
up with like a gnarly handcramp after
and sometimes when you write on doesn't even
484
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:51.480
make sense, but it like you
feel so good after because it's everything that
485
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:54.559
was in your brain is like out. Yeah, it's so sick. And
486
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:59.639
I don't know if you could even
read my journal because yeah, some some
487
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.559
of it just like wow, like
words on a paper on a piece of
488
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:08.639
paper, but and it's all over
the place. But I think, yeah,
489
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.239
it's special to just word vomit.
And I like the act of writing
490
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.800
too, right, so much better
than like typing. Do you have any
491
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:22.639
like goals? Like what's like the
next thing you like, Like you just
492
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.480
did a massive rail, Like is
that what we're going to see it in
493
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.280
a movie coming up? Or are
you saving for clips? What do you
494
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:36.159
do? I've I've found like a
lot of satisfaction in this whole community aspect
495
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:40.679
of things, and I want to
like create more opportunities for girls to get
496
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:47.639
out there and like maybe start locally
and yeah, give people the tools they
497
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:54.920
need to try it out, and
just continue to spread my love for snowboarding.
498
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:01.679
But aside from that I really on
a film, a part that I'm
499
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.920
really stoked on. So hopefully i
can figure out my schedule to where I'll
500
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.679
have some more time to get out
there in film. It's exciting. Yeah,
501
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:17.320
I think one advice I'd give you
because I had to recreate to be
502
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.360
a free surfer and you would be
free snowboarder, which sounds so silly and
503
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:28.920
dorky, but I would always have
to have goals and then present them to
504
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.960
the sponsors. And I was my
own agent. I had the family and
505
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.760
people help me for other sponsors,
but surf industry, I was my own
506
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.000
agent. I'd sell myself. You
know. I got good at it because
507
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.519
I did it for so long.
And I would go in and they go,
508
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:45.960
okay, what's two thousand I could
two thousand and four. Like I'd
509
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.719
go into Billabong and they go,
okay, what what's the next two years?
510
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.199
Look like you gotta sign two year
contract. And I would go,
511
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.599
okay, well, I'm going to
be in the top ten of trans worlds
512
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:57.480
like a bosure meter because I'm going
on these trips. And I would say
513
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.599
the trips, I'd line them up. I'd call people, line these trips
514
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.239
up. This is something I want
to see you do, and then I
515
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.280
would I would say, I'm going
to make this movie with this director.
516
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.079
We have a plan to make it, shoot it, and release it at
517
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:14.119
this date, and you determine your
goals, right, and that's right right
518
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:17.039
now, you just nail that clip, So that clip should be attached to
519
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:21.920
your goal next year when you release
that whatever that's going to be attached to,
520
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:25.039
because it sounds like it's going to
be the banging closer clip. Hopefully
521
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:29.480
not hopefully it's the fucking shittiest clip
you get. That's what's dope. Maybe
522
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:35.440
it's not the banger, but it's
a starting point. Yeah, I think
523
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.480
I definitely need to do a better
job at that, like identifying what my
524
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:45.480
goals are. And I think because
it's still so new to me and I'm
525
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.159
feeling like, whoa, I have
to have like goals and like to do
526
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.599
this whole professional yeah, because you
have to be worth something. Yeah,
527
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.760
it's still something that I'm trying to
figure out. But I'm excited to like
528
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:04.480
put the puzzle pieces together and figure
out like what I want to do overall
529
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:08.400
with the space that I have.
So what would be the dream trip?
530
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.079
If you're gonna put one together,
like the people, the place, the
531
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:19.039
whole crew that I filmed with for
Bloom, like the Burton team is just
532
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:23.159
amazing. It feels like family.
It's like a comfortable space for me.
533
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:30.239
Yeah, I would love to get
back out there and film with them.
534
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:37.320
Also, I do misfilming with my
hometown homies and my little brother, so
535
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.599
it'd be cool to split my time. Figure that out somehow. Little bro
536
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:50.159
thinking about it's been all over the
place. Honestly, it's been good and
537
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:54.320
he's so supportive and loving, but
it's also been hard for him, I
538
00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:00.320
think because I'm just not around,
you know. And he also just went
539
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:07.119
through acl surgery. Yeah, so
he was out a lot of this winter.
540
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:13.320
But he's back and he's crushing it
and his knees strong, and I'm
541
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.800
proud of him for that. But
yeah, it's kind of it's a roller
542
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.559
coaster for sure. Yeah, how
is it being away from home? Crazy?
543
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.320
You are crazy because I'm super close
with my family, Like, my
544
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:32.920
siblings are my best friends. My
parents are fucking incredible, So it's weird.
545
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:40.320
But FaceTime is beautiful, really feels
like you're with them. Let's talk
546
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:46.079
about Luke, What where when did
the love start happening on this trip?
547
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:52.800
You guys are so borning a guy. It was like a slow thing.
548
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.840
It's insane. Ill you do?
What do you do? The podcast?
549
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.000
That's so red in the phase And
now I just did it again? Do
550
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:08.199
you No, guys are the cutest, completely honest. It's not like a
551
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:15.360
It hasn't been like a real public
thing like I not that I don't want
552
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:21.760
it to be. I justh and
like he has and does his own stuff
553
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:27.320
and I do my own stuff,
and it's like really healthy. Remember I
554
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.440
do the questions about making you uncomfortable, Yeah, you're doing a great job.
555
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.679
You're doing a good job. She's
going to bounce us back into a
556
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:38.960
question that doesn't make you uncomfortable.
But you and Luke are the cutest couple
557
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:44.960
and you're doing something hard together and
it's red and it should be celebrated and
558
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.119
not to the public. I can
see it in your eyes and your smile
559
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.800
that it is the greatest. Yeah, it is the greatest. I absolutely
560
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.639
love that. And I think it's
great because it's not like a big thing,
561
00:41:55.719 --> 00:42:00.599
you know, it's kind of just
just do you know? You guys
562
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.320
are both so similar with their laxadaisical
view of the world. It's brad,
563
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.920
It's not like you guys have a
care in the world, and going on
564
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.960
bike rides is like the funnest thing
in the world because you guys aren't worried
565
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:15.400
about OHO's on the phone, and
you guys just go and do your thing.
566
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.599
Yeah, it's good to see.
I like it. Yeah, He's
567
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:23.239
definitely taught me how to unplug and
be present. I know. I walked
568
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.599
in on these guys the other day
and they weren't having sex, by the
569
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:30.880
way, parents. They were working
out together, okay, working out,
570
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:36.360
and I was like it was something
kind of corny, it was funny,
571
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.159
but they were like doing their workout
together, and I was like, oh
572
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.480
my god, I've never seen anything
like this my life. And it wasn't
573
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.239
like they were, you know,
not having fun. They were just doing
574
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.280
the work together. And that's what
I'm trying to say, is like,
575
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:52.679
if I had a girlfriend in my
twenty three year old state and she was
576
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.400
twenty three and a pro surfer,
I don't even know how that would have
577
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.679
been to me. It would have
been mind boggling and been like I have
578
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:01.519
someone to talk to and journal with. But you know what I mean,
579
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:05.679
like that's it's a really special thing. And seeing Red and Haley too,
580
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.599
but just it's it's really neat and
it's it's something that it's not like you
581
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:14.480
guys aren't going down the red carpet
together like you're saying and making it about
582
00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.960
like you guys are the couple of
the industry and stuff. It just seems
583
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.320
like you guys just love each other
and have good times together. Yeah,
584
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.119
and that's all that matters, right
that. And he makes you go on
585
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.559
crazy rails, which is what you
want your boyfriend to do, is go,
586
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:31.440
hey, this rail, you go, I'm gonna watch. It's always
587
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:35.800
nice to have someone there to be
like you got this, yeah, I
588
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:37.760
know, and then do it with
you, right. Yeah. It's like
589
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:40.679
he's not going to tell you to
do something he wouldn't do, which is
590
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:44.280
kind of cool. Or maybe he
did on that one. He's like,
591
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.639
you do it and then I'll just
sit back here and watch. He was
592
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:52.119
swizzy fucking right there when you made
it. Yeah, super stuked. I
593
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:54.880
mean, his text to me about
that rail, he's like, honestly,
594
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:00.880
I'm thinking about it and I think
he missed my make Oh you know what
595
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.679
Luke, I hate. I don't
know. I have to ask him,
596
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:07.400
but I think he missed my make
that was like the one drop that he
597
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.840
might have ran to the car or
something. Oh, I don't remember.
598
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:15.320
Maybe I could be wrong, though, I could be wrong. Maybe he
599
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:21.119
was the problem. Maybe yeah,
maybe he was that. Hey, Luke,
600
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:24.360
just go away now. But that
was cute that and then he gave
601
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:30.320
me some other kind of cute insight
and stuff. But he loves you so
602
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:37.199
much. It's so cute, right, and we we had waker on and
603
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:39.599
just all the love he has too. In your guys, industry, that's
604
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:44.559
what makes our sports so special.
It's like we had, like you said,
605
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:47.679
like the community. It's it's mind
boggling that when you get around all
606
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.400
you guys, how much you guys
actually encourage each other. Yeah, and
607
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:54.400
a lot of sports. When I
was younger, and surfing especially, it
608
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.599
was tough guys. It was egos. It was oh my god, if
609
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.760
you're doing well, everyone hated on
you. It seems like you guys are
610
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:05.199
all like supporting each other and surfing
too, like carrying each other at the
611
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.480
beach. It's it's it's a better
place now than it could ever be.
612
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:14.880
Definitely, and we all want to
see the bar go up. So yeah,
613
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.280
you just did in Nova Scotia world
record, but it's up out there.
614
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:25.679
I think going back to community,
that's like so important to my snowboarding,
615
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:30.840
even because growing up on a tow
rope, it's like you're so close
616
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.679
to those kids every single day and
you watch them progress and you my I
617
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:39.960
I would always like link up with
the fucking thirteen year old little boy that's
618
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.119
like teaching me how to like do
a back tail, and I'm like sick,
619
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.119
like we're learning how to do a
backtail together and you're child. No,
620
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:53.719
not in a weird way, but
but like yeah, just encouraging all
621
00:45:53.760 --> 00:46:00.199
the locals and getting making such tight
relationships there. It's almost like escape park
622
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:06.320
more so so like when I'm off
snowboarding on my own or like doing my
623
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.800
own thing, it almost feels weird. Like I like the community aspect of
624
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:14.840
being like, oh, like riding
up the tow rope and seeing your homie
625
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:21.320
do something sick and like cheering for
them and watching, like even just locally,
626
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:24.400
because that's what it was for me. But yeah, it's so special.
627
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:30.800
I love the community friendship aspect of
all of that. That's really incredible
628
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:37.360
to hear because that's what the backcountry
guys don't want, right, And it's
629
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.199
not that they don't like community,
but they like that be by themselves and
630
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:44.559
all that stuff. Yeah, but
you're raised like a New Yorker. You're
631
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:46.199
in the street like a street skater, those guys, right, I mean,
632
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:51.639
it's pretty cool that you have that
perspective. Like I will get motivation
633
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.159
from like watching other people do stuff. So I had a thing when I
634
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:58.199
was a kid, when I was
your age. Actually I started. It's
635
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.719
called Little Humans Contest, and I'd
give a car away to the winners.
636
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:06.599
It was only seventeen and under,
and the older division would win a car
637
00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.280
and I get old Ford Fairlanes.
I had a Nova Chevy Nova. I
638
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.000
would always do this, and nowadays
I would never do it because it probably
639
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.440
costs twenty grand for those cars.
This is a while ago, and it's
640
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:20.039
called Little Humans Contest. And Slater
guys would come and do and I would
641
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.280
put the pros in their heats so
they would be like these twelve year old
642
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.840
kid and be like is that Kelly
Slater and my fucking heat? And they
643
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:28.440
were just they would paddle out with
them and it was so much fun.
644
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:31.159
And I did it like eight years
and it was so much fun. And
645
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:36.079
I can imagine because I like the
community too. I'm just like you.
646
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.960
I mean to be honest. When
I'm by myself, I feel like I'm
647
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:42.760
gonna die, you know. And
I mean that when I'm like surfing,
648
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.159
I don't go surfing by myself.
I don't golf by myself. I have
649
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:49.159
friends, I have community around me
and Little Humans Contest, which would be
650
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:53.119
a different name for you in some
one of your settings at your home where
651
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:57.480
you learned how to get your groove
on and do your own little event.
652
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.480
And obviously don't give a car away
because sponsors Analog eventually cut that off.
653
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.199
I did five cars and they're like, we're not doing cars, liability crazy,
654
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.599
and so we've got laptops, the
laptop with Adobe Final Cut to make
655
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:13.679
it edit their own parts. Yeah, and that was cool, But I
656
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:15.199
was like, get a car,
like, yeah, you know, I
657
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:17.760
had a Camaro. I gave a
Camara away. I'll show you pictures.
658
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.599
It's really good. And I thought
I'd peel out in front of the parents
659
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:24.039
and they had none of it.
They're like, why are you giving my
660
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:28.079
sixteen year old kid a Camaro.
This is fucking ridiculous and I did it
661
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:31.480
right here on D Street too,
And but you should do the laptop and
662
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:37.360
do whatever clever, cute Michigan name
that you come up with, like eight
663
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:42.840
mile since it's on a dumpster what
I just figured it out. It's the
664
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.719
seven mile. They do a little
give back because I know you want to
665
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:50.239
give back and stuff and do a
girls division, boys division, And that
666
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:54.679
twelve year old kid that does fakeybackside
slides like something like that could be something
667
00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:59.360
that seems I could work for you. Yeah, definitely, right, Yeah,
668
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.920
that's how you get something up up
that realm for sure, because I
669
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:10.639
think even giving the kids the opportunity
to like meet other people that inspire them
670
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:16.639
or or like even just take the
take one second to be like, yo,
671
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:22.760
you're killing it, you knowzza and
like that could like change a lot
672
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.199
of things for that kid, you
know, and like give them a lot
673
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:32.440
of motivation. So I think that
part of like being whatever you are in
674
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:42.679
an industry is really important to like
bring people up with you and experience watching
675
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:47.360
them progress. I would buy these
big pizzas, like this big called Manhattan
676
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:53.039
Pizzas and Kelly. There's a video
where Kelly Slater is coming down and the
677
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:57.280
kids are screaming about the pizza and
I'm like, Kelly's here, and they're
678
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:01.480
like, fuck Kelly, pizza.
And if you just start one of your
679
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:05.920
rail contests down there and you bring
pizza, they're going to be like,
680
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:10.000
oh my god, grazy is my
favorite immediate success. No, it'll be
681
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:14.599
rad and especially because now your brothers
and sisters are going to be there helping
682
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:19.880
you with this community reach out and
probably Ze will write like a thirty foot
683
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.719
board into like a rail over a
van or something crazy stuff. He was
684
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:27.880
sot. Yeah, this year it
was crazy because zeb did come to my
685
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.920
home mountain. It's like not really
my home, mum, but now or
686
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:37.679
there one freaking out dude. It
was so crazy, like there was explain
687
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:44.320
it. Zeb Zeb is this writer
for Burton that's the most creative snowboarder of
688
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:47.159
all time, and he writes a
bunch of different things. But with seventy
689
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:52.599
or something seventy five, it's long
and snowboard ever made two I think if
690
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.800
you're right, it's a two hundred
centimeter or whatever. Yeah, I mean
691
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:00.519
it's insane and he just does and
saying stuff. He's just so creative.
692
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:05.840
But right now he's like pretty much
the biggest celebrity and snowboarding right now.
693
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:10.480
Really. Yeah, So him coming
to the home my home home field was
694
00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:15.639
it just insane. It was crazy
And we did like an autograph signing and
695
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:22.320
kids waited two hours to get autographs. It was insane to see that because
696
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:28.960
I've never seen anything like she does. He's a rail guy. He's kind
697
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:35.440
of he's everything everything, but definitely
a street urban more or less. Right,
698
00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:38.199
he does everything though I don't know, I feel like he's just he's
699
00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:46.960
the guy. Yeah, he's twenty
three two. I don't know. That's
700
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:52.000
part of the team. I was
telling you about zeb Her Luke. It's
701
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:54.239
the dew generation. It's going to
be so fun. It's so sick fun,
702
00:51:54.800 --> 00:52:00.000
so fun and so going forward.
Are you thinking about ever trying to
703
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.199
compete? Ye, I know,
Louise said he she hates contests. I've
704
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:10.719
actually been competing, Like they've been
doing a lot of like street like reil
705
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:15.480
jams lately. That's kind of becoming
a thing again because there was like a
706
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:21.719
big hiatus of it, like no
brands are really willing to put money down
707
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.440
for like street contests or rail jams, and now that's coming back quite a
708
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:30.960
bit. Like Red Bull brought back
Red Bull Heavy Metal, which is where's
709
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.559
that at all? Over it like
it changes every year to the Vegas one
710
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:38.199
hard rock when you were not even
born. Yeah, So they brought that
711
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:45.400
contest back and this year it was
at Saint Paul in Minneapolis, and then
712
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:47.639
last year is actually in Detroit.
I like kind of hosted it, which
713
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:54.559
was cool, insane experience, but
yeah, super Narly X Games brought back
714
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:01.760
street Style this year. Really sick
experience. Yeah, I've been trying to
715
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:09.480
compete, get anxiety. It's not
that I hate it, it's that I
716
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:15.800
like my competitive side was always in
like sports, and snowboarding was very much
717
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:21.880
so like just for me, so
like competing or even having other people watch
718
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:25.920
me. Snowboard is pretty new,
so I get Yeah, I get really
719
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:31.360
nervous, and definitely get really nervous. But it's been fun and it's kind
720
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:37.760
of a cool way to like make
an extra couple of dollars sometimes and push
721
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:40.800
you. Yeah, yeah, getting
out of your comfort zone again and again.
722
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:45.519
Also meeting people. Yeah, it's
good, cool to go to events.
723
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.559
It like brings everyone together even though
you're competing, you're like whatever,
724
00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.360
there's the community at like those contests
cool, Like nobody's like icing each other
725
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:58.320
out or anything. Yeah, it's
gotten really good. Yeah, people are
726
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:02.079
sweet at these events now. The
snowboard community is a lot of down to
727
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:07.039
earth, super sweet people. Yet
different than surfing and stuff where there's locals
728
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.760
and you don't have people yelling at
in breaking into your car and stuff when
729
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:15.159
you go surf. It's but it
is, like you said, it's expensive,
730
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:17.880
like this snowboard. You have that
money, and that's why it's cool
731
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:22.880
that Zeb and all these guys are
doing these inner city things, chilled all
732
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.239
that stuff to get it out there. But yeah, it's really expensive.
733
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:30.320
She's never snowboarded or you have snowboard
once? Yeah, it didn't go great.
734
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:37.679
She wakeboards, thoughts, I grew
up skiing. What's your sponsors right
735
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:39.239
now? We got Red Bull and
Burden of the two biggest ones. Yep,
736
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:44.599
it's not a bad setup. And
then what board do you ride?
737
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:50.039
The Blossom? The Blossom? I
seen Donna ride that thing. Yeah,
738
00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:53.639
she was looking up boards in there
earlier and there was a nitro in there
739
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:57.920
is the what's like the second best. I know Burden's the best, but
740
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:01.119
who's like the competitor now? And
overding? Is it four square? Is
741
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:07.519
that still thing for him? Ride
just came back right around, so rides
742
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:14.079
around, ride in the street is
good? Yeah? Yeah, they have
743
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:19.199
a really sick team. Is there
any big injuries that you've had a couple
744
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.519
of ribs? A couple of ribs, but nothing too extreme, separated my
745
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:28.719
shoulder, I broke both my arms. Well, this rail, she's gotta
746
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:34.320
have injuries. I broke this uh
hand this year and this hand last year.
747
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.079
Yeah, but they were both super
chill, like you just throw cast
748
00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:44.159
on. It's crazy to sound the
best thing you can do in injuries,
749
00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:49.800
Oh for sure, because this one
last year I technically dislocated, but like
750
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:54.239
I cracked a little bit of my
skatephoid. Is it still hurt? It's
751
00:55:54.280 --> 00:56:00.400
like just a little weak, but
yeah, I just love it. Yeah
752
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:09.239
getting hurt, No, it's amazing. No, But I mean slaping a
753
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:15.159
taking a super gnarly fall and just
having to slap a cast on is really
754
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:19.760
sick. Would you ever wear protection
when you go on rails? Do you
755
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:24.360
ever do risk cards or anything?
I do recently? Yeah? Well,
756
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.400
because I got this cast off not
long ago, so I need to like
757
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:32.599
strengthen it back up, but not
always. It's kind of a pain,
758
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.599
right, but it could save you. Then again, who knows. I
759
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:38.559
mean, if you're gonna break something, you're probably gonna break it, even
760
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:43.599
if you have a little protection on
there. Yeah, And sometimes I think
761
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:50.840
like maybe you'd break it in a
worse spot. Yeah, I could probably
762
00:56:50.840 --> 00:56:53.800
break the fingers off, like yeah, or like instead of like breaking this
763
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:58.559
little bone, you like snap up
here or something. I don't know,
764
00:56:58.559 --> 00:57:00.440
maybe I'm overthinking. Is there a
doctor out there I can confirm that we
765
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.119
have the right knowledge there? I
don't know. Every time they're like,
766
00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:08.039
I don't you wear riskard? I
mean, does Luke and all those guys
767
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:12.360
that do slope and do those one
hundred foot fucking jumps, do they wear
768
00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:15.039
any protection? They don't know.
Some of them will wear butt pads,
769
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:22.000
but pads because I think I cracked
my tailbone last year and it was we're
770
00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:25.719
fine, like sitting on a plane. Butt pads sounds like a could call
771
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:30.480
yeah for sure, because even just
taking a little bit of the impact away
772
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:35.239
is pretty sick. And then helmet
for sure, right if you're going slope.
773
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:39.840
I would think, right, yeah, those guys are good. Yeah,
774
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:43.320
I'm like the weird father that doesn't
have kids. I'm like, you
775
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:45.400
better wear a fucking helmet. I
mean the jumps that I'm talking about,
776
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:51.719
it's seriously, I believe there are
a hundred foot gaps. One hundred it's
777
00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:57.079
a football field or whatever. It's
insane. No, I like yeats.
778
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.199
If my boyfriend was doing those,
I'd be like, Okay, well I'm
779
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:04.960
not watching that ship and like I'm
I don't know what they're even doing.
780
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:07.360
I will just be like all the
tricks either, dude, Oh I love
781
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:14.599
her. It's so I'm like,
that was a really sick flip spin favorite
782
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:19.199
pro snover of all time. Like
you flipped and you spun so much.
783
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.599
That was crazy. Comicator. Being
a commentator seems like a tough job.
784
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.519
That was a fourteen seventy five switch
backside rodeo flip and you're like, how
785
00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:30.480
did you know that? And then
it's another one. Literally, it's crazy.
786
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:35.800
I can't keep up. That's professional
show. We're just just liking me.
787
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:38.679
I'm like, what the hell was
that. I just like big methods
788
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:43.840
and like stale fishes and like just
grabs. I don't like the I can't
789
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:47.760
see you thing. I told you
I'm not educated with it, so just
790
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:52.440
winging it, just winging it.
You're gonna start making moves and be like,
791
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:54.480
would I just make you guys again? And they're that was a seven
792
00:58:54.519 --> 00:59:00.400
twenty fly God totally, it's so
rod. Oh my god, hey,
793
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:05.000
I thanks so much for taking the
time. And we're gonna be your biggest
794
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:08.039
fan and watch your career blossom.
And then we're gonna have Luke on the
795
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:12.760
potty and he's gonna talk so much
shit on you that. I have so
796
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:14.960
much love for you and I can't
wait to see what happens. And thank

me Annie. Thank you for always
doing the heavy lifting. Love you guys.
799
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:23.880
Can't wait for you guys to hear
the next one. Peace up.
800
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:25.159
Thank you so much much.
1
00:00:02.120 --> 00:00:13.359
On set. Ladies and gentlemen,
Welcome to the Lan's Body Podcast with your
2
00:00:13.359 --> 00:00:30.280
host Benji Weatherly. It's the podcast
where you learn absolutely nothing. Okay,
3
00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:38.240
here we go, let's potty.
Season three episode This one I'm you know,
4
00:00:38.560 --> 00:00:43.359
privileged to have. This is the
Burton Month. We're doing snowboarding,
5
00:00:43.759 --> 00:00:47.880
my favorite thing in the world and
the reason why I'm actually here in one
6
00:00:47.920 --> 00:00:54.200
of Jake Burton's sons homes. So
if we have today a youngster in the
7
00:00:54.240 --> 00:01:00.640
game of being a pro snowboard woman. And I got the privileged to go
8
00:01:00.640 --> 00:01:04.519
to Europe with this young lady and
get to know her and love the human
9
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.959
being that she is. And our
guest today is Gracie. You just did
10
00:01:10.000 --> 00:01:14.439
one of the biggest handrails, uh, any woman's ever done. And where
11
00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:21.200
oh Nova, Scotia, Scotia,
So tell us about what that was like.
12
00:01:21.439 --> 00:01:23.239
And for the people out there that
don't know what doing a rail and
13
00:01:23.280 --> 00:01:27.200
a snowboard is, it's basically like
brush and roulette with a gun. You
14
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.200
push a button and if the gun
goes off, you die, and if
15
00:01:30.239 --> 00:01:32.920
not, you make it. And
you're like, yeah, I live.
16
00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:37.640
So doing rails is always terrified me. And you do the craziest one.
17
00:01:37.760 --> 00:01:42.159
So what what kind of stem that
scene? It's on video obviously, right,
18
00:01:42.400 --> 00:01:44.879
Yeah, okay, tell us about
that? Is that in that movie?
19
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:48.000
I just watched The Crazy Burden Win
with all you guys doing. No,
20
00:01:48.079 --> 00:01:51.000
that was I was filming last season. Okay, so this is just
21
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:55.680
recent, right, Yeah, talk
to hear this story. There's not really
22
00:01:55.680 --> 00:02:00.560
a crazy story about it. But
how'd you find it? Uh? We
23
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.760
just kind of came across it.
And what was that? Like? Were
24
00:02:02.760 --> 00:02:06.120
you driving around and like, oh
shit, look at that? So tell
25
00:02:06.200 --> 00:02:08.080
us about that? Like action,
like, we don't go around looking for
26
00:02:08.159 --> 00:02:12.199
crazy shit to die on. Yeah, so we were driving around like,
27
00:02:12.199 --> 00:02:15.560
oh that's scary. Actually, the
homie Ian lives there and he was like
28
00:02:16.319 --> 00:02:21.759
kind of filling us in on certain
spots and yeah, we came across that
29
00:02:21.840 --> 00:02:25.000
thing. He like sent us a
photo of it, and I really like
30
00:02:25.400 --> 00:02:31.360
big rails and like, where the
heck did that come from? Are you
31
00:02:31.439 --> 00:02:36.639
like the Kings too? In the
real the Kinks? Yeah? So yeah,
32
00:02:36.680 --> 00:02:42.479
this one was perfect. And it
was calling my name and yeah,
33
00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.360
I love that calling your name.
He's pretty insane. So was Louis there?
34
00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:51.560
When I say Louis until I call
Luke uh in Australian people, but
35
00:02:52.199 --> 00:02:59.360
it was Luke there present and by
the way, Luke Winkleman so the most
36
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:04.479
dying piece dream boy cuddle bug of
all time. Luke her boyfriend. He's
37
00:03:04.639 --> 00:03:07.719
also a Burton team writer and I've
known him since he was a little kid.
38
00:03:07.599 --> 00:03:09.520
He's there and he told me about
it. He said it was then
39
00:03:09.520 --> 00:03:15.080
earliest rail ever. So is he
doing the rail with you or are you
40
00:03:15.479 --> 00:03:20.319
there filming and he's watching? They
were originally because Rob was there too,
41
00:03:20.960 --> 00:03:24.319
and Robin Luke wanted to hit it, but I was kind of it was
42
00:03:24.400 --> 00:03:29.039
kind of like when you're on a
street trip. It's kind of like you
43
00:03:29.080 --> 00:03:35.960
take turns right and they had gotten
clips and I was really attracted to this
44
00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.319
rail, and yeah, it was
kind of my turn and they were gonna
45
00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:45.560
maybe hit it afterwards. It didn't
work out that way, but yeah,
46
00:03:46.560 --> 00:03:49.879
I kind of just was like,
yep, this is this is mine and
47
00:03:50.879 --> 00:03:54.000
can we get technical like was it
a backside? Like were you coming up
48
00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:58.400
on that thing? Front side?
Backside? What was it? I just
49
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:01.199
front fifty front fifty day, Yeah, and explain that because she doesn't stole
50
00:04:01.240 --> 00:04:05.000
word and stuff that would be like
she's your regular foot, right regular foot.
51
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:09.680
She was coming up the front side
like that instead of like for me,
52
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.360
it would be terrifying to go backside
because you're if you hit, you're
53
00:04:12.360 --> 00:04:15.800
going to face first. She's going
back right like that, right, yeah,
54
00:04:15.919 --> 00:04:19.600
going back. So I did fall
pretty good one time because the stairs
55
00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:25.720
were tight, Like there's two railings
and the stairs were pretty tight, so
56
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.319
you had to go out that way
when you're bailing. Yeah, OK,
57
00:04:29.959 --> 00:04:33.680
hopefully, And like one of the
times, I rode down the stairs and
58
00:04:33.720 --> 00:04:38.839
then like caught the last support at
the end, which actually has never happened
59
00:04:38.839 --> 00:04:42.800
to me before, and I've always
wondered what that was going to be like
60
00:04:42.839 --> 00:04:45.560
when it happened, So it was
like it was good to get out,
61
00:04:45.680 --> 00:04:48.199
and the boys like fluffed up the
landing really well so it didn't hurt,
62
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:54.279
but it was kind of crazy to
like actually get my board stuck in the
63
00:04:54.360 --> 00:04:58.839
support and like fly forward like yeah, and then you went back up and
64
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:01.839
nailed it a couple more. I
think I think that's my favorite thing about
65
00:05:01.879 --> 00:05:05.240
skating and snowboarding. We don't have
it in surfing, where you can try
66
00:05:05.240 --> 00:05:09.399
a trick over and over. Now
we do with waite poles but you never
67
00:05:09.439 --> 00:05:13.079
have that. You have one opportunity
maybe once a month to get that lip
68
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:15.800
in that perfect section. But with
you guys, you're always like wiping off
69
00:05:15.839 --> 00:05:19.199
blood, like you know, just
eight shit so many times and then you
70
00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:21.959
finally nail it and all your friends
are there and you're just like, yes,
71
00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:27.079
that's right. It's like almost like
conquering something like I'm sure after you
72
00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:30.560
took a pretty good dig, it
sounds like you got back up there and
73
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:32.480
you had a couple more digs and
then boom, nailed it. Yeah,
74
00:05:32.519 --> 00:05:38.720
but I'm kind of obsessed with that, like the whole process of like failing,
75
00:05:39.199 --> 00:05:43.759
yeah, until you win or succeed. It's like your guys own baseball
76
00:05:43.759 --> 00:05:45.759
game. At the end, you're
like, you hit the game winner when
77
00:05:45.800 --> 00:05:49.120
you nail it. I don't want
to go too far down the family tree,
78
00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:54.319
but we can, which I love. Your younger brother is a good
79
00:05:54.319 --> 00:05:57.839
snowarre yeah, and your younger sister
is a pretty damn good snowbard to hurt,
80
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.160
right? And is that your parents
snowboarding and skiing? How did you
81
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:08.560
guys get into this? My dad
has like always loved snowboarding. Snowboard yeah
82
00:06:08.600 --> 00:06:12.839
cool, oh yeah, and yeah
he taught all of us when we were
83
00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:16.839
like four, and we're all like
three years apart. So for him,
84
00:06:17.040 --> 00:06:21.839
it was probably really cool teaching one
and then right when that one can like
85
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:29.319
carve down the hill by themselves onto
the next. Yeah. So now he's
86
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:33.519
kind of like, you guys,
baby girl, baby girls, one of
87
00:06:33.560 --> 00:06:38.240
the best snowboarders in the world right
now? Is he just the happiest dad
88
00:06:38.279 --> 00:06:41.720
ever right now? Dude? Yeah, he's wearing red Bull. He's my
89
00:06:41.800 --> 00:06:46.319
biggest supporter. Yeah, he does
like to wear the Red Bull. Who
90
00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:51.240
doesn't. It's like established. Is
mom into the sports? Uh? Yeah,
91
00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:58.839
she's super into sports, super competitive. During that process, I think
92
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:04.240
she kind of like missed her window
of learning how to snowboard because she had
93
00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.079
my older brother pretty young and then
kind of just kept popping us out.
94
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.120
So she's pregnant for like a lot
of that. And then yeah, kind
95
00:07:15.160 --> 00:07:19.600
of her she dislocated or not dislocated, she rubbed her a disc in her
96
00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:26.720
neck, So snowboarding, not snowboarding, just being a mom natural call.
97
00:07:27.040 --> 00:07:30.319
I guess I don't really know how
it happened, but yeah, then she
98
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:34.079
was kinda like, I don't know
about this snowboarding thing, but she's a
99
00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:41.639
snowboarder at heart. She loves it. Little hold your little sister seventeen seventeen,
100
00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.000
it's seventeen. How are you twenty
three? Three? And then your
101
00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.800
brother is held twenty twenty okay,
and then my older brother is twenty four
102
00:07:49.839 --> 00:07:54.720
kids, there's four oh okay,
yeah, and everyone rips. Everyone's ready.
103
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:58.439
That's so cool. Yeah, so
sick family trips still going on or
104
00:07:58.519 --> 00:08:03.000
you guys all have your own lives
now. Family trip occasionally. I think
105
00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:05.720
it's hard to like get everyone together
and you guys are getting to that age
106
00:08:05.720 --> 00:08:11.759
and your expensive expensive. Yeah,
that's why I know people. So,
107
00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.720
how did it was a volleyball before
you started snowboarding? No, I've been
108
00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:22.560
snowboarding forever whatever. Yeah, and
then I've played soccer like my entire childhood.
109
00:08:22.639 --> 00:08:24.639
I think I saw you at the
Bash playing soccer right, Yes,
110
00:08:28.040 --> 00:08:31.319
that was actually heated. Yeah,
yeah, they had girls were going hard.
111
00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:35.600
You were going on right well?
Position forward? Is that the one
112
00:08:35.600 --> 00:08:39.559

full line up of surfboards. And
then volleyball came later when you were a
121
00:09:15.519 --> 00:09:20.519
team. Volleyball came in like middle
school, and yeah, my mom was
122
00:09:20.559 --> 00:09:24.679
a volleyball player and she pushed me
to do it or try it. And
123
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.159
I really liked how fast it was. Is this the six on one side?
124
00:09:31.240 --> 00:09:35.159
Six or five and six and six
and six and and you I was
125
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:43.919
like defensive specialists, So I was
like in the back my major to do
126
00:09:43.960 --> 00:09:46.919
her sport. Yeah right, she
likes the action. But tell everybody out
127
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:50.919
there, I heard you had a
scholarship, right, yeah right, I
128
00:09:50.919 --> 00:09:56.320
got a full ride to my community
college and you had Did you end up
129
00:09:56.360 --> 00:10:00.960
going or did you go? I
went for a year? How that experience
130
00:10:01.000 --> 00:10:05.799
it was good, but the volleyball
side of it was crazy, because my
131
00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:09.120
high school team was like better than
my college chef. So it's kind of
132
00:10:09.159 --> 00:10:13.679
like, uh, I don't know
about this, Oh really yeah, but
133
00:10:13.799 --> 00:10:16.879
it was really fun, really cool
experience. Do you like the school part
134
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:22.720
of it? Yeah, social,
I kind of love school. Not that
135
00:10:22.759 --> 00:10:26.360
I'm good at it or anything.
I think. I don't know. It's
136
00:10:26.399 --> 00:10:31.600
weird like doing well in assignments or
like figuring out a problem makes me feel
137
00:10:31.600 --> 00:10:35.039
good. It's kind of been weird
without it because I haven't gone in like
138
00:10:35.080 --> 00:10:39.960
two years now. Yes, kind
of finish my last class at twenty three
139
00:10:41.200 --> 00:10:45.120
in you're a pro board sporder.
It's your prime. It's this is the
140
00:10:45.159 --> 00:10:48.919
time where you have to push,
you have to be super focused. But
141
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.879
it's all new, and I want
to talk about this experience next. You're
142
00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:58.000
from the city, not city,
but small mountains, if you will,
143
00:10:58.320 --> 00:11:01.679
And you're really good, and so
is boyfriend. He's from North Carolina and
144
00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:03.600
she's from Michigan, and I wish
I remember the city, but it's outside
145
00:11:03.600 --> 00:11:07.919
of Detroit, right, yeah,
okay, And there's not really big mountains
146
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.519
there. And I can't wait to
ask you how bald Face was because it's
147
00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:16.559
it's like a surfing your whole life
and a three foot waves and then all
148
00:11:16.600 --> 00:11:20.480
of a sudden you go surf why
man like or toropu or something, and
149
00:11:20.559 --> 00:11:24.519
it's the best feeling. But it's
so different. And you were telling me
150
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.120
on our last trip together something the
other night that you couldn't do it.
151
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:31.200
You're like, I don't understand what
I'm doing. And she's a pro snowboarder,
152
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:33.720
but it's it's when you write powder. It's just that you have to
153
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.279
get on the back foot. It's
a totally different sensation. But how was
154
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:41.279
that experience? And I know you
struggled in beginning, but you got it
155
00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:46.240
probably towards the first end day and
you love it. Right, it was
156
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:48.600
fun. It was so fun.
Yeah, how'd that all come about?
157
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:54.600
When Luke went obviously? Yeah,
I guess I could fill you in on
158
00:11:54.679 --> 00:12:01.279
like the Michigan scene where I'm from
Michigan, Like outside of Detroit is super
159
00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:07.159
flat. There's like no hills,
and so all of our ski hills are
160
00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.559
old garbage hills, like their old
landfills. Wow that they put like a
161
00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:20.120
toe rope and a couple of chair
lifts on. So it's like not that
162
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:24.000
eventful to learn how to snowboard.
There because you're just riding like a couple
163
00:12:24.080 --> 00:12:28.799
hundred feet down the hill and then
you get back on the lift. Uh.
164
00:12:28.039 --> 00:12:33.279
So that's where like these toe ropes
really come into the picture because they'll
165
00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:39.879
you can get up to the top
in ten seconds and lap features over and
166
00:12:39.919 --> 00:12:46.960
over and over again. So like
snowboarding to me was always hit a rail
167
00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:50.159
ride, a couple of feet hit
a rail ride, a couple of feet
168
00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.120
hit another rail, hop back on
the toe rope, go up, and
169
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:01.639
just like for hours, never on
strap. It's continuous skateboarder. You're just
170
00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.799
in a parking lot doing rails pretty
much. That's cool. Yeah, was
171
00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:09.440
that not to interrupt, sorry,
but is that ever a time when you
172
00:13:09.600 --> 00:13:13.279
first started you're on a real mountain
or did all your beginnings were from that?
173
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:20.039
Yeah, that's amazing. And then
I think I was like twelve or
174
00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:24.279
no, thirteen or something when we
went to Colorado for the first time,
175
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.279
and I was like completely mind boned. What was the first run? Like
176
00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:31.320
when you're getting like groomers and you're
like what And I was just like,
177
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:39.000
holy shit, my legs are on
fire, Like this run is forever seriously,
178
00:13:39.519 --> 00:13:43.919
So yeah, like transitioning from that
kind of snowboarding that I was used
179
00:13:43.919 --> 00:13:50.039
to my whole life, to cat
rinning at Bald Face on real like real
180
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:54.840
life like snow from the sky.
A lot of people done snowboard and know
181
00:13:54.879 --> 00:13:58.840
what a cat is this? Where
was this trip you just want in Bald
182
00:13:58.840 --> 00:14:03.639
Face is? It's literally the top
of the mountain of snowboarding. It's just
183
00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:05.519
the most amazing trip you could ever
go on. But you have to take
184
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:11.240
these big basically like a tank with
these big giant things on the side that
185
00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:13.639
take you straight up these mountains and
you drop off. But was this recent
186
00:14:13.679 --> 00:14:18.799
like a couple months ago, like
three weeks ago, three weeks ago,
187
00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:24.320
and she's at the best snowboard powder
mountain in the world. And how was
188
00:14:24.360 --> 00:14:26.240
the first ride? It was like
you get in the tank that we're talking
189
00:14:26.240 --> 00:14:28.600
about and they're going up. Are
you nervous? You're like, I don't
190
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:33.039
know what to expect because I know
you know how to snowboard better than anybody,
191
00:14:33.039 --> 00:14:35.039
but like at that point you're like, I've never really done this.
192
00:14:35.639 --> 00:14:39.240
I was really nervous because everyone was
so good, right and I was the
193
00:14:39.240 --> 00:14:43.879
best people in the world to it
was kind of like I'm like learning how
194
00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:50.799
to carve on this stuff and like
ride a powder board. So definitely completely
195
00:14:50.799 --> 00:14:58.360
out of my element, but it
was like an exciting exciting nerves because also
196
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:03.080
growing up I watched a lot of
like backcountry videos, like my dad would
197
00:15:03.159 --> 00:15:09.200
just throw them on the TV.
So that to me was like what being
198
00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:16.320
a professional snowboarder looks like. And
so in my mind that was like never
199
00:15:16.919 --> 00:15:20.159
attainable, Like it just seemed like
kind of a fairy tale. So it's
200
00:15:20.240 --> 00:15:24.200
kind of like your dreams game trope
kind of. Yeah, I still it
201
00:15:24.240 --> 00:15:28.639
doesn't really feel like I just went
there and did that. The first run,
202
00:15:28.679 --> 00:15:33.159
you're bluebird or is it cloud?
Is it clouds? Had cloudy?
203
00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:35.600
So it's kind of hard when it's
dead light like that, how do you
204
00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.600
call it? Like whatever, the
light's not low light is hard and powder
205
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.240
it's hard and snowboarding for me.
But so your first run, you're at
206
00:15:43.240 --> 00:15:48.120
the top a little nervous but excited. Yeah, and so what happened on
207
00:15:48.159 --> 00:15:50.759
the first round and you go down
head over hills? What happened? No,
208
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:54.759
that was like a couple of runs
in but uh, they kind of
209
00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:58.559
ease you into it, like you
have guides when you go and they start
210
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:02.399
you off on something pretty mellow so
you can get your feet under you and
211
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:07.360
then you like slowly get to better
terrain. So the first roe was chill
212
00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:11.159
and nice, open, no trees. First run, yeah, I was
213
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:14.399
open, open. The trees are
the trip apart, dude, I don't
214
00:16:14.440 --> 00:16:19.919
even know. I was like just
full survival moment, like, oh my
215
00:16:21.000 --> 00:16:23.840
god, my first trip. I
went to Wiggley's you heard of Wiggleish in
216
00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:29.840
Canada, And I went with Terry
Hawkinson and Brianagucci and Dave Downing and I'm
217
00:16:30.559 --> 00:16:33.000
nineteen years old and this other pro
surfer that passed away was with us,
218
00:16:33.639 --> 00:16:37.200
and the whole time they're like,
just stay out of the trees, don't
219
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:38.679
fall in the whales. If there's
an avalanche, you got you know,
220
00:16:38.759 --> 00:16:41.759
you learn how to do the beeper
everything. I'm a surfer from Hawaiian I'm
221
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.559
like, I'm gonna have to try
to find you guys if you fall.
222
00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:48.360
I'm like what? And I ended
up getting in a powder what do you
223
00:16:48.440 --> 00:16:52.799
call the pillows? And I'm in
the pillows and it fell on top of
224
00:16:52.840 --> 00:16:55.159
me. And Dave watched Downing.
He was a good friend of mine,
225
00:16:55.240 --> 00:16:56.879
and he saw the avalanche coming on
top of me and I almost got kind
226
00:16:56.919 --> 00:17:00.720
of caught in it, and he
goes, that was way everything. You
227
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:04.079
know what just happened because I didn't
know what was happening. And the people
228
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:08.319
after us actually died an avalanche the
next trip after us, and the guy
229
00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:11.000
ron was our guide, send me
a postcard, because that's how old I
230
00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:15.039
am at postcards. And he sent
a postcard saying the whole crew except him
231
00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:21.799
and the other person guide lived so
sad. But that whole backcountry is it's
232
00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:25.039
for real that you like, let's
go do it, but it's there's so
233
00:17:25.160 --> 00:17:26.480
much to it. It's like going, I take you to Jaws and you've
234
00:17:26.519 --> 00:17:30.119
never done it. It's like you
got to know how to get out of
235
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:33.400
trouble. And did you ever get
in trouble on that trip? No,
236
00:17:33.160 --> 00:17:37.000
it just smooth. It went really
smooth, okay, and we were with
237
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:41.319
a lot of people that really knew
what they were doing. But yeah,
238
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:45.119
I think that's a lot of what
makes me so nervous is that I'm super
239
00:17:45.200 --> 00:17:48.480
uneducated back there. Did you have
to go through the whole test of finding
240
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.799
the beepers? Yeah, you like
learn how to use so for annie,
241
00:17:52.839 --> 00:17:56.640
they they give you these things around
your chest that are beepers, right,
242
00:17:56.200 --> 00:18:00.599
and so if she gets caught in
an avalanche, all of us have to
243
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:04.880
turn our beebers to a different sequence
or signal yeah, the search beep beep
244
00:18:06.039 --> 00:18:11.720
beep, and we as a team
had to get around the perimeter and try
245
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:14.759
to find them. And they make
you do that when you're like a bunch
246
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.680
of times under the snow exactly,
and it's but they do it and and
247
00:18:19.680 --> 00:18:22.839
and you have to learn how to
do it. And there's times where I
248
00:18:22.839 --> 00:18:25.440
can't figure it out, and they're
like, Okay, let's go, and
249
00:18:25.480 --> 00:18:27.079
I'm like, but I didn't find
my friend, you know, and you're
250
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.039
like, fuck, I didn't even
know how to do that. And now
251
00:18:30.039 --> 00:18:33.400
we're going up in the plane or
you know, helicopter usually, and then
252
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:36.000
you're like, but I didn't even
figure out how to work this thing,
253
00:18:36.039 --> 00:18:38.480
Like I could never find my friend
in time for him to be alive still
254
00:18:38.559 --> 00:18:42.240
or her, And so it was
terrifying because that's what you learn how to
255
00:18:42.240 --> 00:18:45.240
do. And then you go up
and you're like, what if that happens?
256
00:18:45.440 --> 00:18:48.039
You know, it's it's it's for
real stuff. It's just like big
257
00:18:48.039 --> 00:18:49.559
wave surfing where you're like this is
gonna be rad and then you're out there
258
00:18:49.559 --> 00:18:53.319
you're like, oh shit, like
we could die really easy. But uh,
259
00:18:53.400 --> 00:18:56.160
whether that must have been a pretty
good eye opening. Is it something
260
00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.559
that you want to keep going after? Definitely? Oh right, And I
261
00:19:00.680 --> 00:19:06.200
want to do some like I need
to get educated on it, So that's
262
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.359
cool. I want to do some
courses and it's just reps. You just
263
00:19:10.359 --> 00:19:12.519
gotta keep going. Yeah, and
you have the opportunity now, Yeah,
264
00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:15.200
he'd probably be really good with those. Man, you know, when you
265
00:19:15.200 --> 00:19:18.559
make your own jumps into the pow, that's my favorite. Don't tell Mark
266
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.240
that though. I mean, I'm
not used to the airtime really much either.
267
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:27.359
I'm sure it'd be good. One
day. We'll get there. And
268
00:19:27.440 --> 00:19:32.079
Luke too. Luke's but he's not
really slope, right, that's just staying
269
00:19:32.200 --> 00:19:36.720
slope. Yeah, he's a jumper. Her boyfriend is he's a dining piece
270
00:19:36.839 --> 00:19:40.240
and he's good at everything. When
I met him, he was twelve,
271
00:19:40.400 --> 00:19:42.240
and he was this little cute kid
and he's like, oh, there's there's
272
00:19:42.799 --> 00:19:45.920
a fucking mini ram right there.
He's like, I want to ride that.
273
00:19:45.359 --> 00:19:48.039
And it was right when I met
him, and it was in Long
274
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:51.640
Island at the carpenter's house and he
just started doing Allie cake flips and of
275
00:19:51.720 --> 00:19:52.519
it. And I'm like, oh, this little kid's really good. And
276
00:19:52.559 --> 00:19:55.240
they're like, yeah, he writes
for Burton, and I was like,
277
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:56.880
oh, he's just no order too, Like it was just like this kid
278
00:19:57.119 --> 00:20:00.039
and watching him grow up that was
ten years ago, because now he's twenty
279
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:03.960
three and now just you and him
together, it's so exciting and fun.
280
00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.240
And we went to Europe. We
went to Switzerland and Austria together, right
281
00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.119
We went to a few places and
had some fun. The the whole team
282
00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:15.359
of Burton right now is the best
it's ever been. And I've been with
283
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:18.799
them for almost thirty years and the
team right now, you guys have the
284
00:20:18.839 --> 00:20:22.240
coolest fucking team, dude. I'm
so honored to be a part of it.
285
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:27.319
You got just your girl squad is
like, and we're all so close
286
00:20:27.359 --> 00:20:30.480
and we have so much love for
each other. It's it's insane. It's
287
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:36.799
seriously so crazy to see where the
women are now. And yeah, it's
288
00:20:36.799 --> 00:20:40.880
insane. Like I just came from
an event in Salt Lake called the Uninvited
289
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:47.839
that Jess Kamara started, and yeah, there was like uninvited because it's kind
290
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.799
of playing on the women not being
invited kind of. Yeah, that's right
291
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:55.400
exactly. And it started off as
like video based, and she would like
292
00:20:55.519 --> 00:20:59.400
hit all these girls up from around
the world and get their street footage and
293
00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:06.359
put it into video to just like
highlight us and and for to give us
294
00:21:06.400 --> 00:21:11.759
opportunity to be the star. And
yeah, she's turned it into a contest.
295
00:21:11.960 --> 00:21:18.039
And there was over seventy girls there
that were like absolutely ripping, all
296
00:21:18.039 --> 00:21:21.319
from around the world. And it
was just the craziest thing I've ever seen.
297
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:26.799
Because I grew up and I was
the only girl in the park my
298
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:32.160
entire life. I didn't even know
that there's other girls out there, and
299
00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:36.240
now to see it, it's so
crazy. Especially skateboarding too, dude.
300
00:21:36.319 --> 00:21:40.839
Yeah, I think I think we're
like a little bit behind skateboarding, So
301
00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:44.839
it's like cool to kind of see
into the future when you look at skates.
302
00:21:44.880 --> 00:21:48.359
Do you see the girls this year? Yeah, we just went to
303
00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.079
Street League the other day. Oh
you went to that because it's super cool.
304
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:56.480
It was insane and all the girls
were under seventeen years old. The
305
00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.480
new generation coming up is insane.
Like the fourteen year old I'm like,
306
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:04.640
the what is go down crazy rails
stuff. They do the heaviest drinks with
307
00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:10.559
like the sickest style to I'm like, damn, weird. Your favorite skater
308
00:22:10.759 --> 00:22:15.640
girl after street leak this girl Chloe
Chloe. Yeah, she's like fourteen.
309
00:22:17.279 --> 00:22:22.319
She's the youngest X Games medalist ever
or something. I mean, I don't
310
00:22:22.319 --> 00:22:26.079
know if you've watched Hot Coco or
not. I saw the one with you
311
00:22:26.079 --> 00:22:29.000
guys doing crazy rails all the girls. What was that movie Hot Coco?
312
00:22:29.519 --> 00:22:34.799
That was it's all you guys are
Nora and I and uh Luke and no
313
00:22:36.000 --> 00:22:37.759
that's bloom Okay, so no,
I didn't see this one. Yeah,
314
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:45.799
this is not last I only saw
the one I think I saw. Then
315
00:22:45.960 --> 00:22:52.000
you should watch Hot Coco because yeah, it's like all women just put a
316
00:22:52.599 --> 00:22:57.119
Coco section of her right here in
the podcast and started right here. It's
317
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:02.920
going to start right here. It's
three point two minutes. What is it?
318
00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.279
Three minutes? How long is your
part? I mean I don't have
319
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:08.359
a full part, okay, but
this is like in kind of a cool
320
00:23:08.640 --> 00:23:15.839
time where I like s I signed
with Burton while the girls were filming for
321
00:23:15.880 --> 00:23:21.039
this project, and then I like
squeezed into the last trip so I have
322
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.680
like four clips in the movie.
Yeah, that's perfect. We won't put
323
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:29.160
all four, We'll play three and
a half. That was good. I'm
324
00:23:29.200 --> 00:23:33.799
just so happy that I was able
to squeeze in there because it's got a
325
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.319
legendary video. Yeah, you got
to get in these starting points. That's
326
00:23:37.319 --> 00:23:41.279
what how I made a living is
getting in the most important moments in the
327
00:23:41.279 --> 00:23:42.960
beginning. So how do you get
linked up with Burton in the first place?
328
00:23:45.400 --> 00:23:51.640
When I was like seventeen, I
they hit me up to just give
329
00:23:51.640 --> 00:23:57.200
me some free gear and boards,
and I was like completely shocked because I
330
00:23:57.279 --> 00:24:03.000
never really tried to pete or like
thought I was good at snowboarding. I
331
00:24:03.200 --> 00:24:07.279
just kind of like I was trying
to keep up with my brothers and be
332
00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:11.759
like, yeah, I could do
this too. So yeah, that like
333
00:24:11.920 --> 00:24:17.839
changed kind of everything for me.
Where I went from just snowboarding because I
334
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:19.559
thought it was fun and trying to
keep up with my brothers to being like,
335
00:24:21.359 --> 00:24:25.559
damn, like I just got a
free snowboard, Like that's crazy.
336
00:24:25.680 --> 00:24:26.960
So was that like the moment you
were like, oh I could do this
337
00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:33.160
professionally. Not at all. No, I was still just like so hyped
338
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:40.160
that my dad didn't have to buy
me boards anymore. And yeah, I
339
00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:47.000
think I'm still kind of trying to
comprehend the whole pro snowboarder thing. It's
340
00:24:47.079 --> 00:24:51.599
kind of crazy. I yeah,
and I haven't really hit that moment where
341
00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.160
I'm like, damn, I'm actually
good at this. I love your sensibility
342
00:24:56.279 --> 00:25:00.680
and your your She told me,
I don't even know out a snowboard,
343
00:25:00.200 --> 00:25:03.839
and she said it like for real, and I there's got to be some
344
00:25:03.880 --> 00:25:08.559
sarcasm behind it, because obviously snowboard, but just the way you go about
345
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:12.200
it is so cute and humble and
so rad. No, but I'm really
346
00:25:12.400 --> 00:25:17.839
genuinely not trying to be like that. There's just so much to snowboarding that
347
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:22.720
you have a lot of respect for
it. Yeah, that I really haven't
348
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.359
even get my toe into. So
I'm like so excited to just keep learning
349
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:32.519
and progressing. I feel like I'm
just starting. You know, you're humble
350
00:25:32.680 --> 00:25:37.799
and honest. Those are two traits
that not many young people have, and
351
00:25:37.880 --> 00:25:41.519
it's it's refreshing on a level that
makes me smile so hard. Yeah,
352
00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:45.720
I mean, I just I want
to see now. I'm super interested in
353
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.599
seeing you go backcountry and getting better
because like you said you love the process
354
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:52.240
of accomplishing things. Well, guess
what, You're gonna have so much fun
355
00:25:52.279 --> 00:25:56.839
doing that one because it's fun and
excited. Other than Mark mac Morris's last
356
00:25:56.839 --> 00:26:03.039
injury, Powder is usually pretty forgiving. It's just Mark is a gnarly dude
357
00:26:03.039 --> 00:26:06.240
and he gets in situations where he
puts him you know. I mean,
358
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:11.519
Mark is a warrior, Kid's been
through a lot insane. I think that's
359
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:15.319
the thing too, is like I
went from like not knowing a single professional
360
00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:21.960
snowboarder or really paying super close attention
to the scene much like I'm a very
361
00:26:22.039 --> 00:26:26.720
uneducated snowboarder. But now, to
be honest, it's really it's really cool
362
00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:33.319
that like all of the best snowboarders
are like my best friends. Know you're
363
00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.880
around the best. I'm kind of
like, yeah, maybe that's the reason
364
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:41.440
that I'm frented in my place.
I mean, if you could imagine,
365
00:26:42.039 --> 00:26:48.319
you couldn't be talking to a more
relatable person because I grew up Mike.
366
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:52.119
Mike, when I was with you
in Europe, that's the best snow wars
367
00:26:52.119 --> 00:26:55.720
in the world, best team in
the world, and I know you're just
368
00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.200
like me where you're like I'm supposed
to be with these guys. I was
369
00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:02.200
Kelly Slater and Shane Doran and all
the best service in the world my whole
370
00:27:02.200 --> 00:27:04.920
career, and I'm like, I
don't belong he who int I've always been
371
00:27:04.960 --> 00:27:08.519
the I'm just kidding wrong guys.
I'm in the back joking because it's like,
372
00:27:08.880 --> 00:27:12.799
really because those kids are so focused, like we're saying the mc morris
373
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:15.680
is and all these guys that you're
around, and it's like, fuck,
374
00:27:15.759 --> 00:27:18.359
did I put as much work in
and you had all these things go into
375
00:27:18.359 --> 00:27:22.519
your mind? But you do belong, Yeah, And that's what's cool.
376
00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:26.039
But I do think that that's what
makes it kind of weird where they've been,
377
00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:33.359
Like all my friends that are competing
today have been doing that forever,
378
00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:37.920
and they've been putting so much work
in and they've been taking snowboarding very seriously.
379
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:41.440
I'm just so grateful for the opportunities
to like reach out and explore too.
380
00:27:42.079 --> 00:27:47.359
And I feel like this year was
a big year for community for me.
381
00:27:47.680 --> 00:27:51.599
Like I think I did a lot
of events and met a lot of
382
00:27:51.680 --> 00:27:56.559
kids and people that were into snowboarding, and just like getting the opportunity to
383
00:27:57.839 --> 00:28:03.400
share your love for it is really
special and something that I've learned a lot
384
00:28:03.440 --> 00:28:08.480
about lately, Like even the stuff
that Zeb does with Slide into her where
385
00:28:08.480 --> 00:28:14.599
it's like for anyone of any skill
level to get together and it doesn't matter
386
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.000
how good you are, We're all
just together and it's a community and we
387
00:28:18.160 --> 00:28:22.400
love the same thing. And I
think it's special, and all board sports
388
00:28:22.440 --> 00:28:26.720
are kind of like that, where
it doesn't matter what age you are or
389
00:28:26.759 --> 00:28:33.799
where you come from or anything.
You're just out there and spreading love and
390
00:28:33.839 --> 00:28:37.799
riding together and on the same level, you know. And that's what Jake
391
00:28:37.880 --> 00:28:42.519
always wanted, and that's why I
always preached his community. And it's so
392
00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:45.680
cool that we have that. You
can't go play basketball with your friends,
393
00:28:47.079 --> 00:28:48.599
you know, and have the same
kind of feeling we have. You know,
394
00:28:48.680 --> 00:28:52.640
it's definitely a family in a community. What else you got of there?
395
00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:55.839
I'm excited She's going to ask you
some really personal stuff right now.
396
00:28:56.160 --> 00:29:03.640
Oh God, We'rei's the one that
makes does really good stuff. Yeah,
397
00:29:03.680 --> 00:29:07.400
I mean who, like, you
have so many rid people around you?
398
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.440
Are there like any specific names that
you look up to or like want to
399
00:29:11.799 --> 00:29:17.319
emulate as you kind of round out
your snowboarding war overall? My biggest inspiration
400
00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:26.240
in snowboarding is my little brother really
yeah, Drake Warner. He is just
401
00:29:26.279 --> 00:29:30.000
the sickest I love the way that
he rides his snowboard and ever since I
402
00:29:30.039 --> 00:29:36.480
was a kid, I've been inspired
by him. So that's definitely number one.
403
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:40.839
Other than that, all of my
friends inspire me so much. I
404
00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:47.400
think a big one is Ilva,
not necessarily even for her snowboarding, just
405
00:29:47.480 --> 00:29:51.519
like the person she is, and
her snowboarding is just like aig gold cherry
406
00:29:51.559 --> 00:30:00.119
on top for sure. But yeah, I think as far as inspiration and
407
00:30:00.480 --> 00:30:08.119
on like my riding specifically, I'm
I kind of like, I don't know,
408
00:30:08.400 --> 00:30:14.079
just do what makes me feel good. It's very much like an art
409
00:30:14.160 --> 00:30:21.759
form to me totally, where like
I'm not really forcing it and I don't
410
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:27.319
know, just like the way that
I move my body feels like art.
411
00:30:29.039 --> 00:30:32.279
You know. I love it.
It sounds kind of weird maybe, but
412
00:30:32.799 --> 00:30:36.279
no, it is. I mean
I can't speak for snowboarding as much just
413
00:30:36.279 --> 00:30:37.640
because I'm not around it a ton, but I mean, at least I
414
00:30:37.680 --> 00:30:42.039
know for surfing, like it is
art and you're basically doing the same thing
415
00:30:42.200 --> 00:30:47.160
just on snow Yeah, It's like
the way people do like specific turns or
416
00:30:47.240 --> 00:30:52.039
carves and stuff like that. Like, yeah, it's just gorgeous to watch.
417
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:55.599
Yeah, and it's such like a
personal relationship that I have with my
418
00:30:55.680 --> 00:31:00.400
snowboard No, for sure. Do
you have any like relationships with like certain
419
00:31:00.039 --> 00:31:10.839
mountains? Definitely my home mountain yea
Alpine Valley really kind of ratchet place,
420
00:31:11.160 --> 00:31:17.440
but I love it something about like
the crunginess and I don't know, it's
421
00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:22.839
tiny and there's really not many rules, and yeah, it always felt like
422
00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.680
home to me. I love that. Yeah. So any of your siblings
423
00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.839
trying to be pros too or do
they just love it and go rit?
424
00:31:30.039 --> 00:31:37.359
They love it. My younger brother
actually rides for the Rome team and he's
425
00:31:37.480 --> 00:31:45.480
killing it. I hope he's gonna
start getting more opportunities here soon. But
426
00:31:47.400 --> 00:31:52.359
I could definitely see him going pro
for sure. Like my friend Savannah and
427
00:31:52.400 --> 00:31:56.319
I, who is also a pro
snowboarder. She rides for Ride and Vans
428
00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:01.160
and maybe some other stuff. She's
awesome them. She was around for a
429
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:07.200
little bit but then moved to Vermont
when we were like fifteen sixteen, And
430
00:32:08.119 --> 00:32:12.279
yeah, she was kind of the
only other girl that I'd ride with.
431
00:32:12.359 --> 00:32:16.119
But it didn't last very long.
So yeah, I didn't have really girls
432
00:32:16.119 --> 00:32:22.400
to look up to, just because
snowboarding what to me was what was in
433
00:32:22.480 --> 00:32:24.039
from. Yeah, you have your
own path, man, from all the
434
00:32:24.079 --> 00:32:29.839
stuff we've been hearing, it's like
she has her own path. What about
435
00:32:30.000 --> 00:32:35.119
this journal I wrote the other night? See journal a lot? Yeah,
436
00:32:36.279 --> 00:32:39.839
yeah, you didn't read my journal, but I did. No, I'm
437
00:32:39.880 --> 00:32:44.160
just kidding. I didn't read it. But is that something that you get
438
00:32:44.480 --> 00:32:50.839
all the stuff off your chest at
Luke's bugging you about? I started journaling
439
00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:57.480
like three years ago, continuously,
like I would journal here and there growing
440
00:32:57.559 --> 00:33:07.119
up. But yeah, I think
my life went from being pretty I don't
441
00:33:07.119 --> 00:33:12.160
know how to explain it, but
like steady to now it's pretty crazy and
442
00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:16.400
I can't really keep up with all
of my adventures and travels. So it's
443
00:33:16.440 --> 00:33:22.680
cool to write it down and have
something to look at. Also, Like,
444
00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:27.400
I feel like it'd be so cool
to have all these journals that your
445
00:33:27.480 --> 00:33:30.839
kids can go through when you're older, sure, or like when I'm like
446
00:33:30.880 --> 00:33:35.200
an old woman, like sitting watching
the news or something, I can like
447
00:33:35.279 --> 00:33:38.799
sit there and read stuff that I
wrote from when I was twenty, like
448
00:33:40.079 --> 00:33:44.240
talking about mine. Yeah, me
and my friends did it too, and
449
00:33:44.279 --> 00:33:47.920
then you stop because you're a jerk. I don't want to stop. I
450
00:33:49.000 --> 00:33:52.359
hope that I keep going. I'm
the same way, and I love being
451
00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:55.200
able to even just see how like
my mindset has changed. So you guys
452
00:33:55.200 --> 00:33:59.440
go back and read your journals.
So I would always write in it,
453
00:33:59.480 --> 00:34:00.680
and only for a while. I'm
not going to say that I did it
454
00:34:00.720 --> 00:34:04.599
for that long, probably like five
years, but all our friends we had
455
00:34:04.640 --> 00:34:07.359
this thing called a friend saver.
It was insane. It was the coolest
456
00:34:07.400 --> 00:34:10.039
thing ever. But you guys do
go back and read it totally. Really
457
00:34:10.440 --> 00:34:15.840
Yeah, do I ever go back
and read anything I've ever done? I
458
00:34:15.880 --> 00:34:19.880
think and it probably helps. It's
like therapy. Oh like I was thinking
459
00:34:19.960 --> 00:34:22.039
that. Yeah. I mean for
me, at least, it was.
460
00:34:22.800 --> 00:34:27.639
It's nice like it, I don't
know, kind of keeps me centered in
461
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:30.159
a way because you know, you're
journaling when you're in like a really bad
462
00:34:30.159 --> 00:34:31.360
space, and you're also journaling when
you're like, this was the best day
463
00:34:31.400 --> 00:34:35.039
I've ever had in my life.
Yeah, So being able to, like
464
00:34:35.079 --> 00:34:38.000
when I'm having a really bad day
and you know you're in that headspace where
465
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.519
you're like it's never going to be
better, Like I'm just in such a
466
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.880
deep hole to go back and read
like all those really good days, you're
467
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:50.079
like, okay, that is going
to come, Like it'll circle back around
468
00:34:50.079 --> 00:34:52.960
and then I'll be there and then
yeah, you know, something will happen
469
00:34:52.960 --> 00:34:54.639
and it might get a little lower, but then it'll always go back up
470
00:34:54.639 --> 00:34:59.920
again. And it kind of puts
a lot of things into perspective. Love
471
00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:02.960
that, and it's very self therapeutic
too, because once you start writing a
472
00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:07.159
couple of sentences and then you get
that out of the way and you're like
473
00:35:07.199 --> 00:35:13.719
digging deeper into like how you actually
feel or what that experience actually meant to
474
00:35:13.760 --> 00:35:15.599
you. Yeah, it's like when
people hold things in it's not good.
475
00:35:15.760 --> 00:35:19.159
Like if you write it out,
it's like getting it out. Yeah.
476
00:35:19.320 --> 00:35:23.400
Yeah. Like stream of consciousness journaling
I think is really cool because like a
477
00:35:23.400 --> 00:35:25.960
lot of them. When I journal, it's like just me writing down like
478
00:35:27.079 --> 00:35:30.199
everything that happened in a day because
I have a terrible memory, so I'm
479
00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:31.679
like, yeah, I want to
write everything down so I remember it later.
480
00:35:31.880 --> 00:35:37.559
Same. Yeah, But then there's
like stream of consciousness journaling, which
481
00:35:37.599 --> 00:35:39.400
like if I'm really upset about something, I'll usually do more of that where
482
00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:44.199
you just start writing like everything that's
going through your head. You always end
483
00:35:44.280 --> 00:35:46.840
up with like a gnarly handcramp after
and sometimes when you write on doesn't even
484
00:35:46.840 --> 00:35:51.480
make sense, but it like you
feel so good after because it's everything that
485
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:54.559
was in your brain is like out. Yeah, it's so sick. And
486
00:35:54.679 --> 00:35:59.639
I don't know if you could even
read my journal because yeah, some some
487
00:35:59.719 --> 00:36:04.559
of it just like wow, like
words on a paper on a piece of
488
00:36:04.559 --> 00:36:08.639
paper, but and it's all over
the place. But I think, yeah,
489
00:36:09.039 --> 00:36:14.239
it's special to just word vomit.
And I like the act of writing
490
00:36:14.280 --> 00:36:16.800
too, right, so much better
than like typing. Do you have any
491
00:36:16.880 --> 00:36:22.639
like goals? Like what's like the
next thing you like, Like you just
492
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.480
did a massive rail, Like is
that what we're going to see it in
493
00:36:27.480 --> 00:36:30.280
a movie coming up? Or are
you saving for clips? What do you
494
00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:36.159
do? I've I've found like a
lot of satisfaction in this whole community aspect
495
00:36:36.199 --> 00:36:40.679
of things, and I want to
like create more opportunities for girls to get
496
00:36:40.760 --> 00:36:47.639
out there and like maybe start locally
and yeah, give people the tools they
497
00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:54.920
need to try it out, and
just continue to spread my love for snowboarding.
498
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:01.679
But aside from that I really on
a film, a part that I'm
499
00:37:01.719 --> 00:37:07.920
really stoked on. So hopefully i
can figure out my schedule to where I'll
500
00:37:07.960 --> 00:37:13.679
have some more time to get out
there in film. It's exciting. Yeah,
501
00:37:13.880 --> 00:37:17.320
I think one advice I'd give you
because I had to recreate to be
502
00:37:17.360 --> 00:37:22.360
a free surfer and you would be
free snowboarder, which sounds so silly and
503
00:37:22.400 --> 00:37:28.920
dorky, but I would always have
to have goals and then present them to
504
00:37:28.960 --> 00:37:30.960
the sponsors. And I was my
own agent. I had the family and
505
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.760
people help me for other sponsors,
but surf industry, I was my own
506
00:37:35.000 --> 00:37:37.000
agent. I'd sell myself. You
know. I got good at it because
507
00:37:37.039 --> 00:37:39.519
I did it for so long.
And I would go in and they go,
508
00:37:39.559 --> 00:37:45.960
okay, what's two thousand I could
two thousand and four. Like I'd
509
00:37:45.000 --> 00:37:47.719
go into Billabong and they go,
okay, what what's the next two years?
510
00:37:47.760 --> 00:37:51.199
Look like you gotta sign two year
contract. And I would go,
511
00:37:51.280 --> 00:37:53.599
okay, well, I'm going to
be in the top ten of trans worlds
512
00:37:53.119 --> 00:37:57.480
like a bosure meter because I'm going
on these trips. And I would say
513
00:37:57.519 --> 00:38:00.599
the trips, I'd line them up. I'd call people, line these trips
514
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:02.239
up. This is something I want
to see you do, and then I
515
00:38:02.280 --> 00:38:06.280
would I would say, I'm going
to make this movie with this director.
516
00:38:06.480 --> 00:38:08.079
We have a plan to make it, shoot it, and release it at
517
00:38:08.079 --> 00:38:14.119
this date, and you determine your
goals, right, and that's right right
518
00:38:14.159 --> 00:38:17.039
now, you just nail that clip, So that clip should be attached to
519
00:38:17.239 --> 00:38:21.920
your goal next year when you release
that whatever that's going to be attached to,
520
00:38:21.920 --> 00:38:25.039
because it sounds like it's going to
be the banging closer clip. Hopefully
521
00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:29.480
not hopefully it's the fucking shittiest clip
you get. That's what's dope. Maybe
522
00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:35.440
it's not the banger, but it's
a starting point. Yeah, I think
523
00:38:35.679 --> 00:38:37.480
I definitely need to do a better
job at that, like identifying what my
524
00:38:37.519 --> 00:38:45.480
goals are. And I think because
it's still so new to me and I'm
525
00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:50.159
feeling like, whoa, I have
to have like goals and like to do
526
00:38:50.239 --> 00:38:52.599
this whole professional yeah, because you
have to be worth something. Yeah,
527
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.760
it's still something that I'm trying to
figure out. But I'm excited to like
528
00:38:58.960 --> 00:39:04.480
put the puzzle pieces together and figure
out like what I want to do overall
529
00:39:05.079 --> 00:39:08.400
with the space that I have.
So what would be the dream trip?
530
00:39:08.880 --> 00:39:14.079
If you're gonna put one together,
like the people, the place, the
531
00:39:14.159 --> 00:39:19.039
whole crew that I filmed with for
Bloom, like the Burton team is just
532
00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:23.159
amazing. It feels like family.
It's like a comfortable space for me.
533
00:39:24.679 --> 00:39:30.239
Yeah, I would love to get
back out there and film with them.
534
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:37.320
Also, I do misfilming with my
hometown homies and my little brother, so
535
00:39:37.840 --> 00:39:43.599
it'd be cool to split my time. Figure that out somehow. Little bro
536
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:50.159
thinking about it's been all over the
place. Honestly, it's been good and
537
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:54.320
he's so supportive and loving, but
it's also been hard for him, I
538
00:39:54.320 --> 00:40:00.320
think because I'm just not around,
you know. And he also just went
539
00:40:00.360 --> 00:40:07.119
through acl surgery. Yeah, so
he was out a lot of this winter.
540
00:40:07.400 --> 00:40:13.320
But he's back and he's crushing it
and his knees strong, and I'm
541
00:40:13.320 --> 00:40:16.800
proud of him for that. But
yeah, it's kind of it's a roller
542
00:40:16.800 --> 00:40:22.559
coaster for sure. Yeah, how
is it being away from home? Crazy?
543
00:40:22.559 --> 00:40:28.320
You are crazy because I'm super close
with my family, Like, my
544
00:40:28.360 --> 00:40:32.920
siblings are my best friends. My
parents are fucking incredible, So it's weird.
545
00:40:34.039 --> 00:40:40.320
But FaceTime is beautiful, really feels
like you're with them. Let's talk
546
00:40:40.320 --> 00:40:46.079
about Luke, What where when did
the love start happening on this trip?
547
00:40:46.199 --> 00:40:52.800
You guys are so borning a guy. It was like a slow thing.
548
00:40:53.559 --> 00:40:59.840
It's insane. Ill you do?
What do you do? The podcast?
549
00:41:00.039 --> 00:41:02.000
That's so red in the phase And
now I just did it again? Do
550
00:41:02.039 --> 00:41:08.199
you No, guys are the cutest, completely honest. It's not like a
551
00:41:09.440 --> 00:41:15.360
It hasn't been like a real public
thing like I not that I don't want
552
00:41:15.400 --> 00:41:21.760
it to be. I justh and
like he has and does his own stuff
553
00:41:21.760 --> 00:41:27.320
and I do my own stuff,
and it's like really healthy. Remember I
554
00:41:27.400 --> 00:41:30.440
do the questions about making you uncomfortable, Yeah, you're doing a great job.
555
00:41:30.440 --> 00:41:34.679
You're doing a good job. She's
going to bounce us back into a
556
00:41:34.840 --> 00:41:38.960
question that doesn't make you uncomfortable.
But you and Luke are the cutest couple
557
00:41:39.119 --> 00:41:44.960
and you're doing something hard together and
it's red and it should be celebrated and
558
00:41:45.000 --> 00:41:47.119
not to the public. I can
see it in your eyes and your smile
559
00:41:47.360 --> 00:41:52.800
that it is the greatest. Yeah, it is the greatest. I absolutely
560
00:41:52.800 --> 00:41:55.639
love that. And I think it's
great because it's not like a big thing,
561
00:41:55.719 --> 00:42:00.599
you know, it's kind of just
just do you know? You guys
562
00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:05.320
are both so similar with their laxadaisical
view of the world. It's brad,
563
00:42:05.639 --> 00:42:07.920
It's not like you guys have a
care in the world, and going on
564
00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:10.960
bike rides is like the funnest thing
in the world because you guys aren't worried
565
00:42:10.960 --> 00:42:15.400
about OHO's on the phone, and
you guys just go and do your thing.
566
00:42:15.559 --> 00:42:17.599
Yeah, it's good to see.
I like it. Yeah, He's
567
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:23.239
definitely taught me how to unplug and
be present. I know. I walked
568
00:42:23.280 --> 00:42:25.599
in on these guys the other day
and they weren't having sex, by the
569
00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:30.880
way, parents. They were working
out together, okay, working out,
570
00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:36.360
and I was like it was something
kind of corny, it was funny,
571
00:42:36.400 --> 00:42:38.159
but they were like doing their workout
together, and I was like, oh
572
00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.480
my god, I've never seen anything
like this my life. And it wasn't
573
00:42:42.519 --> 00:42:45.239
like they were, you know,
not having fun. They were just doing
574
00:42:45.360 --> 00:42:47.280
the work together. And that's what
I'm trying to say, is like,
575
00:42:49.000 --> 00:42:52.679
if I had a girlfriend in my
twenty three year old state and she was
576
00:42:52.679 --> 00:42:55.400
twenty three and a pro surfer,
I don't even know how that would have
577
00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.679
been to me. It would have
been mind boggling and been like I have
578
00:42:58.719 --> 00:43:01.519
someone to talk to and journal with. But you know what I mean,
579
00:43:01.559 --> 00:43:05.679
like that's it's a really special thing. And seeing Red and Haley too,
580
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.599
but just it's it's really neat and
it's it's something that it's not like you
581
00:43:09.639 --> 00:43:14.480
guys aren't going down the red carpet
together like you're saying and making it about
582
00:43:14.679 --> 00:43:16.960
like you guys are the couple of
the industry and stuff. It just seems
583
00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:21.320
like you guys just love each other
and have good times together. Yeah,
584
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:23.119
and that's all that matters, right
that. And he makes you go on
585
00:43:23.159 --> 00:43:27.559
crazy rails, which is what you
want your boyfriend to do, is go,
586
00:43:27.639 --> 00:43:31.440
hey, this rail, you go, I'm gonna watch. It's always
587
00:43:31.519 --> 00:43:35.800
nice to have someone there to be
like you got this, yeah, I
588
00:43:35.880 --> 00:43:37.760
know, and then do it with
you, right. Yeah. It's like
589
00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:40.679
he's not going to tell you to
do something he wouldn't do, which is
590
00:43:40.760 --> 00:43:44.280
kind of cool. Or maybe he
did on that one. He's like,
591
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.639
you do it and then I'll just
sit back here and watch. He was
592
00:43:47.719 --> 00:43:52.119
swizzy fucking right there when you made
it. Yeah, super stuked. I
593
00:43:52.159 --> 00:43:54.880
mean, his text to me about
that rail, he's like, honestly,
594
00:43:55.920 --> 00:44:00.880
I'm thinking about it and I think
he missed my make Oh you know what
595
00:44:01.000 --> 00:44:04.679
Luke, I hate. I don't
know. I have to ask him,
596
00:44:04.719 --> 00:44:07.400
but I think he missed my make
that was like the one drop that he
597
00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:12.840
might have ran to the car or
something. Oh, I don't remember.
598
00:44:12.920 --> 00:44:15.320
Maybe I could be wrong, though, I could be wrong. Maybe he
599
00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:21.119
was the problem. Maybe yeah,
maybe he was that. Hey, Luke,
600
00:44:21.280 --> 00:44:24.360
just go away now. But that
was cute that and then he gave
601
00:44:24.400 --> 00:44:30.320
me some other kind of cute insight
and stuff. But he loves you so
602
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:37.199
much. It's so cute, right, and we we had waker on and
603
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:39.599
just all the love he has too. In your guys, industry, that's
604
00:44:39.639 --> 00:44:44.559
what makes our sports so special.
It's like we had, like you said,
605
00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:47.679
like the community. It's it's mind
boggling that when you get around all
606
00:44:47.719 --> 00:44:52.400
you guys, how much you guys
actually encourage each other. Yeah, and
607
00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:54.400
a lot of sports. When I
was younger, and surfing especially, it
608
00:44:54.519 --> 00:44:58.599
was tough guys. It was egos. It was oh my god, if
609
00:44:58.639 --> 00:45:00.760
you're doing well, everyone hated on
you. It seems like you guys are
610
00:45:00.760 --> 00:45:05.199
all like supporting each other and surfing
too, like carrying each other at the
611
00:45:05.199 --> 00:45:07.480
beach. It's it's it's a better
place now than it could ever be.
612
00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:14.880
Definitely, and we all want to
see the bar go up. So yeah,
613
00:45:15.000 --> 00:45:20.280
you just did in Nova Scotia world
record, but it's up out there.
614
00:45:20.400 --> 00:45:25.679
I think going back to community,
that's like so important to my snowboarding,
615
00:45:25.719 --> 00:45:30.840
even because growing up on a tow
rope, it's like you're so close
616
00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:36.679
to those kids every single day and
you watch them progress and you my I
617
00:45:36.679 --> 00:45:39.960
I would always like link up with
the fucking thirteen year old little boy that's
618
00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:45.119
like teaching me how to like do
a back tail, and I'm like sick,
619
00:45:45.840 --> 00:45:50.119
like we're learning how to do a
backtail together and you're child. No,
620
00:45:50.280 --> 00:45:53.719
not in a weird way, but
but like yeah, just encouraging all
621
00:45:53.760 --> 00:46:00.199
the locals and getting making such tight
relationships there. It's almost like escape park
622
00:46:00.239 --> 00:46:06.320
more so so like when I'm off
snowboarding on my own or like doing my
623
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:09.800
own thing, it almost feels weird. Like I like the community aspect of
624
00:46:10.199 --> 00:46:14.840
being like, oh, like riding
up the tow rope and seeing your homie
625
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:21.320
do something sick and like cheering for
them and watching, like even just locally,
626
00:46:21.400 --> 00:46:24.400
because that's what it was for me. But yeah, it's so special.
627
00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:30.800
I love the community friendship aspect of
all of that. That's really incredible
628
00:46:31.320 --> 00:46:37.360
to hear because that's what the backcountry
guys don't want, right, And it's
629
00:46:37.400 --> 00:46:40.199
not that they don't like community,
but they like that be by themselves and
630
00:46:40.199 --> 00:46:44.559
all that stuff. Yeah, but
you're raised like a New Yorker. You're
631
00:46:44.599 --> 00:46:46.199
in the street like a street skater, those guys, right, I mean,
632
00:46:46.280 --> 00:46:51.639
it's pretty cool that you have that
perspective. Like I will get motivation
633
00:46:51.719 --> 00:46:54.159
from like watching other people do stuff. So I had a thing when I
634
00:46:54.199 --> 00:46:58.199
was a kid, when I was
your age. Actually I started. It's
635
00:46:58.239 --> 00:47:00.719
called Little Humans Contest, and I'd
give a car away to the winners.
636
00:47:00.800 --> 00:47:06.599
It was only seventeen and under,
and the older division would win a car
637
00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:09.280
and I get old Ford Fairlanes.
I had a Nova Chevy Nova. I
638
00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.000
would always do this, and nowadays
I would never do it because it probably
639
00:47:13.000 --> 00:47:15.440
costs twenty grand for those cars.
This is a while ago, and it's
640
00:47:15.480 --> 00:47:20.039
called Little Humans Contest. And Slater
guys would come and do and I would
641
00:47:20.039 --> 00:47:22.280
put the pros in their heats so
they would be like these twelve year old
642
00:47:22.320 --> 00:47:24.840
kid and be like is that Kelly
Slater and my fucking heat? And they
643
00:47:24.880 --> 00:47:28.440
were just they would paddle out with
them and it was so much fun.
644
00:47:28.480 --> 00:47:31.159
And I did it like eight years
and it was so much fun. And
645
00:47:31.199 --> 00:47:36.079
I can imagine because I like the
community too. I'm just like you.
646
00:47:36.159 --> 00:47:38.960
I mean to be honest. When
I'm by myself, I feel like I'm
647
00:47:39.000 --> 00:47:42.760
gonna die, you know. And
I mean that when I'm like surfing,
648
00:47:42.800 --> 00:47:45.159
I don't go surfing by myself.
I don't golf by myself. I have
649
00:47:45.239 --> 00:47:49.159
friends, I have community around me
and Little Humans Contest, which would be
650
00:47:49.199 --> 00:47:53.119
a different name for you in some
one of your settings at your home where
651
00:47:53.119 --> 00:47:57.480
you learned how to get your groove
on and do your own little event.
652
00:47:57.599 --> 00:48:01.480
And obviously don't give a car away
because sponsors Analog eventually cut that off.
653
00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:06.199
I did five cars and they're like, we're not doing cars, liability crazy,
654
00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:09.599
and so we've got laptops, the
laptop with Adobe Final Cut to make
655
00:48:09.639 --> 00:48:13.679
it edit their own parts. Yeah, and that was cool, But I
656
00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:15.199
was like, get a car,
like, yeah, you know, I
657
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:17.760
had a Camaro. I gave a
Camara away. I'll show you pictures.
658
00:48:17.760 --> 00:48:22.599
It's really good. And I thought
I'd peel out in front of the parents
659
00:48:22.639 --> 00:48:24.039
and they had none of it.
They're like, why are you giving my
660
00:48:24.000 --> 00:48:28.079
sixteen year old kid a Camaro.
This is fucking ridiculous and I did it
661
00:48:28.159 --> 00:48:31.480
right here on D Street too,
And but you should do the laptop and
662
00:48:31.760 --> 00:48:37.360
do whatever clever, cute Michigan name
that you come up with, like eight
663
00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:42.840
mile since it's on a dumpster what
I just figured it out. It's the
664
00:48:42.920 --> 00:48:45.719
seven mile. They do a little
give back because I know you want to
665
00:48:45.719 --> 00:48:50.239
give back and stuff and do a
girls division, boys division, And that
666
00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:54.679
twelve year old kid that does fakeybackside
slides like something like that could be something
667
00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:59.360
that seems I could work for you. Yeah, definitely, right, Yeah,
668
00:48:59.440 --> 00:49:02.920
that's how you get something up up
that realm for sure, because I
669
00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:10.639
think even giving the kids the opportunity
to like meet other people that inspire them
670
00:49:10.920 --> 00:49:16.639
or or like even just take the
take one second to be like, yo,
671
00:49:17.039 --> 00:49:22.760
you're killing it, you knowzza and
like that could like change a lot
672
00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:25.199
of things for that kid, you
know, and like give them a lot
673
00:49:25.199 --> 00:49:32.440
of motivation. So I think that
part of like being whatever you are in
674
00:49:32.480 --> 00:49:42.679
an industry is really important to like
bring people up with you and experience watching
675
00:49:42.719 --> 00:49:47.360
them progress. I would buy these
big pizzas, like this big called Manhattan
676
00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:53.039
Pizzas and Kelly. There's a video
where Kelly Slater is coming down and the
677
00:49:53.159 --> 00:49:57.280
kids are screaming about the pizza and
I'm like, Kelly's here, and they're
678
00:49:57.320 --> 00:50:01.480
like, fuck Kelly, pizza.
And if you just start one of your
679
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:05.920
rail contests down there and you bring
pizza, they're going to be like,
680
00:50:06.119 --> 00:50:10.000
oh my god, grazy is my
favorite immediate success. No, it'll be
681
00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:14.599
rad and especially because now your brothers
and sisters are going to be there helping
682
00:50:14.599 --> 00:50:19.880
you with this community reach out and
probably Ze will write like a thirty foot
683
00:50:19.880 --> 00:50:22.719
board into like a rail over a
van or something crazy stuff. He was
684
00:50:22.800 --> 00:50:27.880
sot. Yeah, this year it
was crazy because zeb did come to my
685
00:50:28.719 --> 00:50:30.920
home mountain. It's like not really
my home, mum, but now or
686
00:50:30.960 --> 00:50:37.679
there one freaking out dude. It
was so crazy, like there was explain
687
00:50:37.719 --> 00:50:44.320
it. Zeb Zeb is this writer
for Burton that's the most creative snowboarder of
688
00:50:44.320 --> 00:50:47.159
all time, and he writes a
bunch of different things. But with seventy
689
00:50:47.519 --> 00:50:52.599
or something seventy five, it's long
and snowboard ever made two I think if
690
00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:57.800
you're right, it's a two hundred
centimeter or whatever. Yeah, I mean
691
00:50:57.840 --> 00:51:00.519
it's insane and he just does and
saying stuff. He's just so creative.
692
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:05.840
But right now he's like pretty much
the biggest celebrity and snowboarding right now.
693
00:51:05.920 --> 00:51:10.480
Really. Yeah, So him coming
to the home my home home field was
694
00:51:10.519 --> 00:51:15.639
it just insane. It was crazy
And we did like an autograph signing and
695
00:51:15.960 --> 00:51:22.320
kids waited two hours to get autographs. It was insane to see that because
696
00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:28.960
I've never seen anything like she does. He's a rail guy. He's kind
697
00:51:28.960 --> 00:51:35.440
of he's everything everything, but definitely
a street urban more or less. Right,
698
00:51:36.400 --> 00:51:38.199
he does everything though I don't know, I feel like he's just he's
699
00:51:38.239 --> 00:51:46.960
the guy. Yeah, he's twenty
three two. I don't know. That's
700
00:51:47.079 --> 00:51:52.000
part of the team. I was
telling you about zeb Her Luke. It's
701
00:51:52.199 --> 00:51:54.239
the dew generation. It's going to
be so fun. It's so sick fun,
702
00:51:54.800 --> 00:52:00.000
so fun and so going forward.
Are you thinking about ever trying to
703
00:52:00.039 --> 00:52:04.199
compete? Ye, I know,
Louise said he she hates contests. I've
704
00:52:04.400 --> 00:52:10.719
actually been competing, Like they've been
doing a lot of like street like reil
705
00:52:10.800 --> 00:52:15.480
jams lately. That's kind of becoming
a thing again because there was like a
706
00:52:15.519 --> 00:52:21.719
big hiatus of it, like no
brands are really willing to put money down
707
00:52:22.239 --> 00:52:25.440
for like street contests or rail jams, and now that's coming back quite a
708
00:52:25.480 --> 00:52:30.960
bit. Like Red Bull brought back
Red Bull Heavy Metal, which is where's
709
00:52:30.960 --> 00:52:34.559
that at all? Over it like
it changes every year to the Vegas one
710
00:52:35.119 --> 00:52:38.199
hard rock when you were not even
born. Yeah, So they brought that
711
00:52:38.280 --> 00:52:45.400
contest back and this year it was
at Saint Paul in Minneapolis, and then
712
00:52:45.559 --> 00:52:47.639
last year is actually in Detroit.
I like kind of hosted it, which
713
00:52:47.679 --> 00:52:54.559
was cool, insane experience, but
yeah, super Narly X Games brought back
714
00:52:54.880 --> 00:53:01.760
street Style this year. Really sick
experience. Yeah, I've been trying to
715
00:53:01.760 --> 00:53:09.480
compete, get anxiety. It's not
that I hate it, it's that I
716
00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:15.800
like my competitive side was always in
like sports, and snowboarding was very much
717
00:53:15.880 --> 00:53:21.880
so like just for me, so
like competing or even having other people watch
718
00:53:21.920 --> 00:53:25.920
me. Snowboard is pretty new,
so I get Yeah, I get really
719
00:53:25.960 --> 00:53:31.360
nervous, and definitely get really nervous. But it's been fun and it's kind
720
00:53:31.360 --> 00:53:37.760
of a cool way to like make
an extra couple of dollars sometimes and push
721
00:53:37.800 --> 00:53:40.800
you. Yeah, yeah, getting
out of your comfort zone again and again.
722
00:53:40.960 --> 00:53:45.519
Also meeting people. Yeah, it's
good, cool to go to events.
723
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:49.559
It like brings everyone together even though
you're competing, you're like whatever,
724
00:53:50.280 --> 00:53:53.360
there's the community at like those contests
cool, Like nobody's like icing each other
725
00:53:53.360 --> 00:53:58.320
out or anything. Yeah, it's
gotten really good. Yeah, people are
726
00:53:58.320 --> 00:54:02.079
sweet at these events now. The
snowboard community is a lot of down to
727
00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:07.039
earth, super sweet people. Yet
different than surfing and stuff where there's locals
728
00:54:07.079 --> 00:54:10.760
and you don't have people yelling at
in breaking into your car and stuff when
729
00:54:10.800 --> 00:54:15.159
you go surf. It's but it
is, like you said, it's expensive,
730
00:54:15.400 --> 00:54:17.880
like this snowboard. You have that
money, and that's why it's cool
731
00:54:17.920 --> 00:54:22.880
that Zeb and all these guys are
doing these inner city things, chilled all
732
00:54:22.920 --> 00:54:25.239
that stuff to get it out there. But yeah, it's really expensive.
733
00:54:25.559 --> 00:54:30.320
She's never snowboarded or you have snowboard
once? Yeah, it didn't go great.
734
00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:37.679
She wakeboards, thoughts, I grew
up skiing. What's your sponsors right
735
00:54:37.679 --> 00:54:39.239
now? We got Red Bull and
Burden of the two biggest ones. Yep,
736
00:54:39.280 --> 00:54:44.599
it's not a bad setup. And
then what board do you ride?
737
00:54:45.840 --> 00:54:50.039
The Blossom? The Blossom? I
seen Donna ride that thing. Yeah,
738
00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:53.639
she was looking up boards in there
earlier and there was a nitro in there
739
00:54:53.800 --> 00:54:57.920
is the what's like the second best. I know Burden's the best, but
740
00:54:58.440 --> 00:55:01.119
who's like the competitor now? And
overding? Is it four square? Is
741
00:55:01.119 --> 00:55:07.519
that still thing for him? Ride
just came back right around, so rides
742
00:55:07.559 --> 00:55:14.079
around, ride in the street is
good? Yeah? Yeah, they have
743
00:55:14.119 --> 00:55:19.199
a really sick team. Is there
any big injuries that you've had a couple
744
00:55:19.199 --> 00:55:22.519
of ribs? A couple of ribs, but nothing too extreme, separated my
745
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:28.719
shoulder, I broke both my arms. Well, this rail, she's gotta
746
00:55:28.719 --> 00:55:34.320
have injuries. I broke this uh
hand this year and this hand last year.
747
00:55:35.360 --> 00:55:38.079
Yeah, but they were both super
chill, like you just throw cast
748
00:55:38.159 --> 00:55:44.159
on. It's crazy to sound the
best thing you can do in injuries,
749
00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:49.800
Oh for sure, because this one
last year I technically dislocated, but like
750
00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:54.239
I cracked a little bit of my
skatephoid. Is it still hurt? It's
751
00:55:54.280 --> 00:56:00.400
like just a little weak, but
yeah, I just love it. Yeah
752
00:56:02.360 --> 00:56:09.239
getting hurt, No, it's amazing. No, But I mean slaping a
753
00:56:09.800 --> 00:56:15.159
taking a super gnarly fall and just
having to slap a cast on is really
754
00:56:15.199 --> 00:56:19.760
sick. Would you ever wear protection
when you go on rails? Do you
755
00:56:19.800 --> 00:56:24.360
ever do risk cards or anything?
I do recently? Yeah? Well,
756
00:56:24.400 --> 00:56:28.400
because I got this cast off not
long ago, so I need to like
757
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:32.599
strengthen it back up, but not
always. It's kind of a pain,
758
00:56:34.320 --> 00:56:37.599
right, but it could save you. Then again, who knows. I
759
00:56:37.639 --> 00:56:38.559
mean, if you're gonna break something, you're probably gonna break it, even
760
00:56:38.559 --> 00:56:43.599
if you have a little protection on
there. Yeah, And sometimes I think
761
00:56:44.440 --> 00:56:50.840
like maybe you'd break it in a
worse spot. Yeah, I could probably
762
00:56:50.840 --> 00:56:53.800
break the fingers off, like yeah, or like instead of like breaking this
763
00:56:53.840 --> 00:56:58.559
little bone, you like snap up
here or something. I don't know,
764
00:56:58.559 --> 00:57:00.440
maybe I'm overthinking. Is there a
doctor out there I can confirm that we
765
00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:05.119
have the right knowledge there? I
don't know. Every time they're like,
766
00:57:05.239 --> 00:57:08.039
I don't you wear riskard? I
mean, does Luke and all those guys
767
00:57:08.079 --> 00:57:12.360
that do slope and do those one
hundred foot fucking jumps, do they wear
768
00:57:12.599 --> 00:57:15.039
any protection? They don't know.
Some of them will wear butt pads,
769
00:57:15.320 --> 00:57:22.000
but pads because I think I cracked
my tailbone last year and it was we're
770
00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:25.719
fine, like sitting on a plane. Butt pads sounds like a could call
771
00:57:27.039 --> 00:57:30.480
yeah for sure, because even just
taking a little bit of the impact away
772
00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:35.239
is pretty sick. And then helmet
for sure, right if you're going slope.
773
00:57:35.519 --> 00:57:39.840
I would think, right, yeah, those guys are good. Yeah,
774
00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:43.320
I'm like the weird father that doesn't
have kids. I'm like, you
775
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:45.400
better wear a fucking helmet. I
mean the jumps that I'm talking about,
776
00:57:46.320 --> 00:57:51.719
it's seriously, I believe there are
a hundred foot gaps. One hundred it's
777
00:57:51.719 --> 00:57:57.079
a football field or whatever. It's
insane. No, I like yeats.
778
00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.199
If my boyfriend was doing those,
I'd be like, Okay, well I'm
779
00:58:00.199 --> 00:58:04.960
not watching that ship and like I'm
I don't know what they're even doing.
780
00:58:05.559 --> 00:58:07.360
I will just be like all the
tricks either, dude, Oh I love
781
00:58:07.440 --> 00:58:14.599
her. It's so I'm like,
that was a really sick flip spin favorite
782
00:58:14.599 --> 00:58:19.199
pro snover of all time. Like
you flipped and you spun so much.
783
00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:22.599
That was crazy. Comicator. Being
a commentator seems like a tough job.
784
00:58:22.800 --> 00:58:25.519
That was a fourteen seventy five switch
backside rodeo flip and you're like, how
785
00:58:25.559 --> 00:58:30.480
did you know that? And then
it's another one. Literally, it's crazy.
786
00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:35.800
I can't keep up. That's professional
show. We're just just liking me.
787
00:58:36.280 --> 00:58:38.679
I'm like, what the hell was
that. I just like big methods
788
00:58:38.679 --> 00:58:43.840
and like stale fishes and like just
grabs. I don't like the I can't
789
00:58:43.920 --> 00:58:47.760
see you thing. I told you
I'm not educated with it, so just
790
00:58:47.800 --> 00:58:52.440
winging it, just winging it.
You're gonna start making moves and be like,
791
00:58:52.440 --> 00:58:54.480
would I just make you guys again? And they're that was a seven
792
00:58:54.519 --> 00:59:00.400
twenty fly God totally, it's so
rod. Oh my god, hey,
793
00:59:00.519 --> 00:59:05.000
I thanks so much for taking the
time. And we're gonna be your biggest
794
00:59:05.039 --> 00:59:08.039

And then we're gonna have Luke on the
795
00:59:08.039 --> 00:59:12.760
potty and he's gonna talk so much
shit on you that. I have so
796
00:59:12.840 --> 00:59:14.960
much love for you and I can't
wait to see what happens. And thank

doing the heavy lifting. Love you guys.
799
00:59:22.239 --> 00:59:23.880
Can't wait for you guys to hear
the next one. Peace up.
800
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:25.159
Thank you so much much.
