It was pretty sweet. Big Sky Board Sports was with us the whole way. Simon Elston helped coach our team.

He came into the jump switch (backwards), and did a switch-360 to a switch-540. He entered the up-box going switch and did a 540 over the battleship rail. That was by far one of the best runs in the whole thing. It made the place go wild.

He went big and landed everything.

I saw a bunch of kids trying to do tricks, hitting rails, and I wanted to get into it. I got some twin-tip skis and that made a big difference.

I know that most of these guys won't be back next year. I've got my goals set pretty high for next year. I'm going to get myself to the finals next year.

I was an A's and Phillies fan, ... It was a pretty good sports town, even then.
