A huge adrenaline rush is usually followed by a pretty low point.

It was the scariest wave that I had ever ridden, but it was a huge adrenaline rush. I was scared, but I was totally into it. The best part of the whole experience was I knew that I was in total control. All the years of my surfing experience came right to my head and were the center of my attention. I dropped in and drove down the line, and it was the fastest I've ever gone on a surfboard.

I'm surprised it's illegal, because in our sport, it would be pretty minimal health risks, and it would actually make it safer for the athletes, because you'd have less chance of making a mistake at the bottom and killing yourself.

When I landed off that jump, I hooked an edge. It was pretty abrupt. I lifted my ski up and when I did that it kicked the tail in, and it was gone. Obviously, the save was a good one -- it's hard to stay up when you lose a ski at that speed.

Runway is like an adrenaline rush.

Downhill skiing is more like an adrenaline rush, it's more about having fun. This is more about a workout. I wouldn't do this just for fun. It's more gratifying and rewarding than fun. I feel tired. I feel like I did a lot of work. It's not fun, but it's good to do. Fun is jumping off cliffs, skiing powder. This is more about being fit and being outdoors.
