"I'm Happy LOST, I wouldn't have the Gold Medal if I WON" | Ed Mylett & Shaun White

it's like defining that clear goal of like where do you want to do where do you want to be and what is that and once you have that clear goal it's like the winning and losing along the way doesn't matter as long as you get to that goal I love talking you about this because it's not a cockiness it's just knowing yourself and knowing what's going on and knowing the situation how to be present and to use it to your advantage don't think what you should do know what you want to do like no you need know what you need to do like you know if I really need some interaction with people you go out you feel it deep down if you really want to go out or not and a lot of times the real answer is like I don't need them or anybody to validate what I'm doing like I I know what I want and I know what I need and here's what it is and then and you start living that way and it kind of like that the goals start to set themselves like it just starts to become more clear and the more you do it the easier it is to define those goals and wrap things around welcome back to max out everybody I'm ed my let this gentleman to my left needs no introduction but I'm gonna give him one anyways and it would take 20 minutes maybe like 20 days if I listed all of it so here's what I'll just tell you about him three-time Olympic Winter gold medalist 15 time X Games gold medalist and 11 SB Awards the only guy ever to win a gold medal in the winter and summer X Games and then also he made it all the way up this was interesting to me made it all the way up to number two on business weeks of the 100 most influential athletes in the world pretty big deal and then was also on Forbes magazine list of 30 under 32 so yeah this guy's accomplished so many things and this is from a young man who started out was it was a very young man with two open-heart surgeries most people don't know about this guy right here Sean Whyte everybody thanks for being here thank you I've been talking about doing it for a while and so he who's been skating earlier they crashed down at your house and will do this that was perfect I like I skate up the way maybe hour away so I just popped through my brother I'm super excited about it but you know how impressed I am with you and how much I like you I'm grateful for our friendship but thank you let's talk about a few things with you I I want to go back does everybody hear this you're really an icon I mean you're a sports and cultural icon and so everyone listening to this or watching this pretty much knows who you are but I don't think a lot of them know the whole story I thought frankly like because of snowboarding I thought I probably comes from a really affluent family hmm because it looks to me like an expensive sport yeah it's a pricey sport I mean snowboarding stuff you got the equipment you got to get to the mountain somehow lodging food everything in that bubble of the resort's really expensive so how does your mom is a waitress your dad was like really work with his hands literally was literally digging ditches and holes yeah for the water company right so how does a family like yours end up getting you into this sport how'd that even happen you know we just kind of made it work I just remember at the time any big expenses like we didn't go huge on Christmas and on these things like we didn't need the gifts we just spent the money on trips so we would take like a big family trip together up to the mountains or go to Hawaii or somewhere like that to surf and my mom you know comes from that background of like how to stretch a dollar so you're gonna be like we're flying Hawaii but we're taking like six stops to get on Southwest cuz it's not a sign seat we made it work or we would wait till there's a big sale on ticket stuff like that so like my mom had that like kind of can-do attitude and my dad was always like you know going with the flow and he was able to like go do those sports with us so it wasn't amazing for me growing up because instead of having my dad like yell at me from the side of a field somewhere he was like riding with me doing it with you in your brother right yeah and talk about having something in common yeah and then slowly like you know my brother started snowboarding I had to do it because he was doing he's like seven years older and then my sister started then my dad then my mom so became like our family thing to get so cool but one of the things about you that I learned it's like this is really like it's your story but it's like a really cool family story I don't care about what your family sacrificed to get you there but dude you started is this right were you skiing at 4-4 yeah yeah yeah I don't I don't know how it all worked out we did these like weekend random trips up to Big Bear and snow some of the mountains outside of LA and you know we would drive up there and rent skis and go for my dad skied in the past at some point so he already like was into it and that's how it started and then at some point when I was probably like five and a half six years old my brother was like I'm gonna do this thing snowboarding and I'm thinking alright well whatever he has I want I want to do what he's doing so immediately I begged my parents and they they pretended like they were doing me a favor they're like oh we'll let you snowboard yeah for sure but they're thinking okay like I was that kind of horrible like redheaded child in your neighborhood later letting down your roads bushes I didn't mean to kind of now I just like had a lot of energy put me on skis like I would like dart into the trees and they couldn't find me I wasn't allowed poles cuz I would like hit my ceilings yes you know it turned into a a weapon and so you know they're like we'll put him on a snowboard and we he'll be falling like we'll keep track of him and and it was true I was terrible when I first started here what do you know that I wasn't that great because obviously the boards were so big but what happened is that is that you know everything kind of has a you know ending destination and what happened is since there was no boards my size my mom called Burton Snowboards and was like hey my son loves snowboarding he wants to do it but we can't find any equipment his size and like oh my goodness just so happens we're coming out with the kids line you should talk to the California rep he'll give you some product and there you go no way and that's how it all started so I was sponsored when I was like six or seven at that point you were sponsored at you know it's crazy yeah no one's asked you this before and it's just cuz I know people who know you and I yeah I know you tell me your dad like you was your mom or the driver of the two or was it like just sort of a family thing you all enjoy doing or we had a mom you said dad didn't push you did mom push you it's just like everyone was in the same direction you know like dad was go with the flow but my mom for sure was the like go get him type she was the one that was like calling Burton to get the product and she was a 1 you know when we were on the mountains to make sure like why don't we enter him in some contests and like oh hey there's someone filming like why don't you Sean what'd you go to your heirs in front of him you know like those kind of just little things and it ended up actually like growing my career dramatically but she was always the one like pushing those angles and things but they were always very you know apparent with me they're like if you don't like this at any point mmm tell us so how are you won your first snowboarding contest I was probably six or seven yeah and that was a big deal because when Burton gave me my first snowboard they're like hey look I was called it was called flow rider like you get flowed product for your auto and then if on occasion they could help you with some travel money to get to a competition but they're like hey look if we'd give you these boards would be nice if you guys entered some contests and you know started to be in the in the circuit and it was a race and I was pretty fast and at the time they didn't really make even Burton didn't make boots that you know were for kids so I used ski boots and something about the hard boots like it allowed me to edge really well yes I was fast and I could edge really well and I won the race and that was a big thing cuz I'm thinking at that point in life I was still the like terrible kid in the neighborhood get in trouble for stuff and then all of a sudden like someone put a medal on me and I was like oh serious I can win something Wow like I felt empowered and I felt like I found that outlet for all my energy and and now like my parents are supporting and my brother so my brother and sister also competed at the time even my dad for fun at one point but you know it really kind of like gave me that win in my sails to like have a focus it seems to me like there was something too having this older brother that you almost competed with talk about that for a second yeah the civilly sibling rivalry was was heavy I mean I don't think he really cared but she meant the world to me to meet him at anything yeah he was better at video games he's better at board games he could skate better than me he could snow we're better to me ping pong anything you name it he would always win and so I had always you know this urge to better myself and get better so that I could compete with him and that's something to be said because he's seven years older than yes so now I'm competing with him trying to beat him but I'm seven years younger so I would go out and learn these tricks that he was dealing and then drop back down to my age bracket and just cry dominate yeah I think it'd be easy for people to listening to this or watch it to say that's a really cool story except what he's actually giving you is actually a recipe of how to be successful and I want you to all to hear this the first part of it as he found something he loved the second part of it is it became a family commitment and so the family was behind it the third part of it is you picked somebody who was far better than you to compete and run with and train with and in business you got to find people that are ahead of you that are more successful than you that you kind of run with that are in your circle and you begin to match and mirror them and the way they talk they walk they make sales they have ideas they strategize it's the same formula in other places so I just want them to hear a little bit more about the family and we're gonna get into like all the stuff everyone knows bigger yeah what time Oh Big Mo so yeah so things are starting to take off I'm I'm now like almost equal with my brother skill-wise and I've got more sponsors more attention and I've been on this like winning tear and we're like family of five like you said it's expensive to make these rounds and get to the mountains are like the only way we think we can do it is to enter my mom had already taken like a loan out on the house and and we were thinking let's get a van it's like it's like old school van life is just kidding let's hit the road like we'll get this man my mom found a van somehow and it had been used as like a stakeout van near the border to like watch you know the order and and down by Tijuana and so we bought this van it was just like awful like rust colour ice which was probably a lot just of just rust like all these cats and stuff and so we had to like flea bomb this thing and like whatever we paid was too much and so and but my mom like all right well we're gonna stretch a dollar she took it down to Tijuana I got a reupholstered all the things we had it painted and my dad's you know pretty handy so he installed like a makeshift kitchenette and like a little sink and and we just made it work and so you could sleep five and you could squeeze six which would happen cuz there would be snowboarders along the way that like do you not have anywhere to stay and my mom was such a like you can stay with us and they're like okay which is fun until like day three you're like dude scoot but yeah so we we we loaded up the van and we started doing the rounds and that was probably the one of I mean greatest times in my life like the whole cuz there's just a whole family together we're watching movies we had like the little TV where you could with the built-in VCR and we would just watch movies and you know drive around from competition to competition and no matter what happened at the event like we would all have each other after so it was kind of like this thing it was like this built-in support group and it was just so much fun and I just remember being yeah I think just road tripping all year with your family like it was so much fun it really kept us as a close tight family because we had these common threads but that was the van and it was a sad day when we outgrew the van I remember I bought my first home in Carlsbad California and I was 16 which was epic and it was the only reason I bought there is because the school I was attending said that you know as I can I need extra help with my school you know I'm traveling like I need to make up these tests when I can like this list of sports that's a tennis ice-skating horseback riding like we don't see snowboarding on the list so we don't find your sport legitimate we can't help you like really that was Torrey Pines high school and so I ended up buying a home in Carlsbad and then qualifying for the new school district up there yeah you guys sure ended up you know buying the house there and then like you know get lemons tell you this but we knew it was day the day to get rid of the motorhome because like we parked it at this it was a beautiful like beach community yeah and like somebody had like you know saved up their hard-earned money and they're like we made it maybe we're in the beach community and like and they got this van somebody had like slashed the tires it was aggressive we're like are you kidding nobody like this happy beautiful like you know Truman Show style just cut the tire so it's like maybe it's time to dump quick so yeah we got rid of the van and it went to a good home but avars took it on but uh but that was the van yeah it was awesome I just want people to picture this business guys like you all see this icon you see you know only dude ever just to say that out loud that's won a gold in the winter and summer x-games that blows my mind three Olympic golds like and I think they pictured this and then to find out students rolling around a Big Mo with his family right like your mom had to mortgage the house your mom was a waitress your dad was a working man like you didn't call her like this is such an amazing story that I don't think most people know these elements of it and also many of you are in this stage of your life we're like you're living in a big mo like you're an entrepreneur trying to make your dream come true and you're like I know what it's like to have the fleas infesting you know and online living where I want to I'm not eating the food I want to I'm struggling I'm behind and this is proof that these family sacrifices can can in fact be worth it and you mentioned the hard condition in the beginning I mean that was the heaviest point of all of it it's like I was I was born with what's called tetralogy of flow it's a congenital heart defect and I was either like a oversized heart so the heart I was supposed to be somewhat sluggish and very inactive and and after the repairs they're like hey look we did our best but we don't really know and so that was the biggest is that my family kind of let me find my own boundaries and so they weren't like hey you can't go running too much or you can't and obviously I picked these sports with like skating it's not worried and flipping and spinning but like through all of this that was an interesting time too because through success became like no I wouldn't call it haters but like concerned from outside opinion I'm like you're letting your cardiac kid go do these events and like I'd have these huge injuries and coming to school with big black eyes and things and like we started getting like backlash from the community because in California or like Southern Cal like you know it like it said on the list it wasn't a sport that people normally do and so and there was no Olympics at the time exclaims it just started it was like kind of a Hail Mary at that point of is this really gonna work out will there be a future in this sport and so on top of like you know making ends meet there wasn't that clear you know if you think it's into football cool he's gonna draft and then he's gonna get there's no room yeah yeah yeah there's like you know even even basketball stars now like they're like hey let's just save it for the big league you know like let's wait till I go pro you're cashing cuz it's not worth it now to get hurt in the high school or college years but yeah so for us it was it was that was like another another element of it and that's why we were so like the underdogs in the situation cuz you know we were happy with whatever we got at that point because we came from these kind of humble beginnings so cool so every step of the way any big thing like do when I forgot my first like hotel suite like somebody put me up oh my god yeah like backflip in on the bed think like man like you know a lot of people that listen to this have different businesses and many of them don't have as their employees or yeah or they do different things for their career but like a lot of them that a listening do and like there's no clear path what's really cool about your story was what you just said I had never thought of yeah there was no real clear pictures no clear path yeah that's amazing we we felt too deep down we're like look what skiing is done what if the Olympics took it in what if this used before oh for sure and then we knew that like in there was whispers of it at the time you know I was in in the loop my parents were but I just remember knowing what my parents made and their their income every year and then thinking wow like if I just did decent and this year for it like for enough time it just felt so appealing did you ever feel any pressure Sean like to take care of your family since they had sacrificed so much for did that never end no pressure but I just wanted to you know they were I was family it was just that was it you know it was like in the van we're doing we're making it happen and so like no matter what I mean I would get a hotel room caught by somebody and it was like the all-you-can-eat breakfast and I would be like filling the bag and like taking it back to the van it was like we were in it together you know and so so yeah it was like every step of the way was families to like the day I was able to pay my mom back that loan on the house that was awesome was about fifty thousand dollars she took out on the house and I was able to give that back to her and I felt so proud was that all excited I know the story is that from that one contest where like the guys one of the person you're like oh that was a heavy one um I don't know if it was that one in particular I think it was years later when I really like I started making great money I'd signed a really big contract when I was 14 so this everyone gets this Pro at thirteen turned pro at thirteen and snowboarding seventeen and skateboarding right oh yeah seventeen sixteen yeah yeah but so you find the first thing you signed your first big deal when you're 14 yeah it was an interesting time because you know my parents were my agents so it was kind of like they go in and they're like you know everybody thinks their kids great you know they mean and so my parents were like okay okay and it finally got to this point where I'd gone pro and you know it was undeniable that I was on this trajectory and at that point I almost left Burton because the company had changed so many times over the years like everybody wrote for Burton at that point it was kind of blow blown out like everybody was sponsored and getting product it was like the heyday everybody was on there and then they really tightened up the group and made like a global team and a B team and a whole thing and put me on the global team and and decided to like pay me for real yeah and so at that point my mom's like you're gonna be a millionaire this time you know and I'm like eating my peanut butter and jelly sandwich oh that's great and that's that's my favorite it's clearly like I loved you know it's still like family man zero even in Japan that event yeah there's an amazing photo because so I flew all the way out there and these competitors you know they were getting like a per diem to be there and their travel was covered by their sponsors and all this stuff and so they're in Japan they're having a good learn Tokyo like already gonna having fun I'm gonna and good they're living their lives and that's great but like we had to scrape to make it there and like again we're filling the food bag at breakfast and bring it up to the room for the family and and the next day of the competition you know you could tell people were probably a little hungover jet-lagged and not into it and I had trained really hard to just learn this new secret trick that no one knew I had it was called the cab cab 900 you know I'm so excited unleash this big trick and I get there and they're like let's call a team you know riders meeting and I think everybody agrees we should split the money and just put on a demo for the people like the jumps not that great we're not feeling it blah blah blah because they knew the price purse for first was so big fifty thousand down to like twenty thousand down to ten and then like no one got paid below it because they got the per diems when they showed up and so I'm sitting there thinking like wow okay music to my ears you're all hungover and I can kind of tell so this is probably the best chance I have of winning like you know is this big trick in three like I'm doing the and I'm not even gonna break even if we do split the money so for my expenses to get out there whatnot and I had to like sit there for a couple hours and be the only one I was 15 telling these like mid 20 to 30 year olds that like I was not gonna split the money and they just started to haze me they did oh for sure well yeah you know like lovingly jokingly but seriously so there's like this big sign with all of our faces on it you know are the writers list and you know I would I put my headphones on not to think and I hear them laughing I look over there drawing like dollar signs on my eyes and do it you know what I mean they're like dude if you don't split the money no one ever wins it that doesn't split the money you should you know everybody who's kind of on me and I just stuck to my guns I was like I'm gonna do this and and I saw it through and actually won and that was one of those first major wins for me and that was after upset of not qualifying for the Olympics like I was teed up like I needed this big win and I and I held strong and I won and they handed me like fifty thousand dollars in yen piles of yen and I and I have the most so back to the peanut butter jelly I'm the best photo of like what do you do when you're a kid you get 50 grand you spread it out on the bed get your Halloween candy eggs dump it out and spread it around so this is a photo of me like eating my sandwich like no the camera what the bed's just covered in cash and that was just like one of those things that we're like we're doing it we're doing the right steps and I stayed true to who I was and thought and everything and I and I believed in myself and it all worked out you know I mean it truly like I had a plan and a path and I and I wasn't swayed by others like in man at that time I wanted their acceptance so badly because I was the kid I was the 13 year old that went pro and so like no one really took me serious in the beginning because I was so small and I couldn't wear the pro clothing because I was so little I was wearing Burton sub brand called back hill which had like their their logo was a bumblebee house thank you guys you're killing me yellow pants like no one's taking me serious okay so finally like I had my growth spurt and I can wear the cool guy clothes and like and then I won and that was like a real big turning point that's a great story with Heinze points there everybody to conform and for sure so he knows this but like I'm a psycho so like I love when I'm around someone world class I want to know how they think so you know I thought you picked your brain on this stuff a few times but I want to go through just some stuff you you you take for granted that you do that I don't think is normal mm-hmm so especially in the mental part of your game so yeah talk for a second about if you don't mind I don't mean this isn't anything by the way your brother got married on this Beach yes yeah and your and your brothers you know obviously you guys are super close and of course but you did you did tell me there's sort of a difference to you about being able to compete in practice yeah and then being ready for the big time for the actual competition and that there's a difference with certain people yeah when it's time to compete and you're really good when the cameras are on or when it really matters and some people aren't right yeah sort of said maybe in your brother's case that he was unbelievable in practice incredible yeah but for some reason when it was competition time maybe not his ad would come out true or false yeah very true you know it was just that weird separator like he was so talented and he could do any trick for fun and we're cruising around the mountain but like when I when I had you know guy at one of our sponsors would show up cuz he had his own sponsors and whatnot and like that guy would show up well like let's take a run and it was like his moment to kind of show off for the sponsors or whatever and he just would crumble like I don't know where I'm like what happened he's like I don't know holy crumbling and same with the competition he'd be killing it in practice and all of a sudden the contest started he just didn't have that ability to like push it over the edge and for some reason for me it was always like that defining moment where I was like oh you're gonna film it oh we're gonna something's on the line it's like the pressures on the line and I would do better yeah can I tell you one of the reasons is something you say every time yeah I want to say to you because I think it's all in how something's framed in our minds so for you when competition came you've said it's like eleven times to make and you said it's my chance to show off yeah and and so but a lot of people look like this is the if they increase the pressure for you it's a chance to perform and show off and so people that are listening to this is like that speech you have to give or that client you have to go see all your preparation is led this is a chance for you to show off yeah it pressures less than right there's more pressure frankly practicing cuz it's boring and it doesn't matter but your mindset of what competition means is different bro like what's one of the separators is there dude you're competing against they're scared ish when that when they're in the Stargate and you're like I get to show off yeah and the other thing you say I want you to talk about is you kind of win either way even if you lose oh that's the big one so this mindset thing of yours is amazing because it's it's a meme on social media are either winner I learned you know but like most people don't live it tell them what you mean by you're gonna win probably either way so this is important to deal with winning and losing yeah well it's like it's it's like defining that clear goal of like what where do you want to do where do you want to be and what is that and once you have that clear goal it's like the winning and losing along the way doesn't matter as long as you get to that goal and so I look at it like if I show up to a competition and I win great I'm on the right path I'm doing what I need to do but it's not time to celebrate too much because things can change and I I'm on the right trajectory I need to keep going and and then if I don't win or I get second or third or I don't even do well it's just this wonderful like here's where you need to be and every single time I look at is like great now I know exactly blueprint of like that person that beat me did their best run that's all they have there's nothing in their back pocket they're not they should be put their whole cards on the table now I gotta just beat that and so it gives us clear it makes that goal at the end so much clearer because you're like wow okay this is what this is what we're playing at and this is how we're gonna get there now and it's so much better I mean man I was so thankful so many losses in my life there was a there was an X Games where I showed up and I'd been injured the year before and I had won came back the next year expecting to win was teed up to do it one qualifying got injured during the during the practice for finals and sat it out came back the next year thinking oh I'm gonna win this thing got smoked best thing that ever happened to me oh my goodness I got smoked and I was like okay great what did they got what it's the guy that won doing he was doing these things called 1080s so he was doing what's called back-to-back 1080s one into the next and for people that don't understand that the tricks that it's just degrees of rotation so 180 is a half of a circle 360's a full circle all the way up to 1080 and so I'm like perfect he's doing that then all I need to do is work on this and I up my bar in my game in my level of where I want it to be and then did any little step to get there so it set the goal for me and then I just needed to make the steps up there the next season was 2006 the Olympic season I'm so thankful it was that time I mean you couldn't have played it better you know I had the motivation I saw the goal and then I knew how to get there where if I had had just been winning it would have been harder for me to just kind of like maintain that like winning streak there's something about winning and then continually winning because it's a fine line of like trying to better yourself because you're already at the top you know but when you get that upset it's like a nice like okay here's where we need to be see this is so cool because it's rare in life that you get to get inside the brain of the best of all time at something or someone that's world-class so free to articulate think about this if you had to compete against him number one he's very clear about his goals number one number two he thinks he gets to show off when he competes oh yeah and third he wins either way and so this is pretty important for all of you to listen to this is how you become the best of what you do these are the mindsets you have to adopt in your life right now in your business in your career these are the same exact patterns there's another thing that you just said in there that you said to me on the jet and we flew yeah yeah I wanna say it back to you as I love this belief level and you said to me because he just said it right there - but elaborate if another dude does a trick that you see that you can't do right now yeah how's your brain work when you see that what do you think when you see him do that or I mean usually I immediately like break it down of like okay what did he do and then like how how hard would it be for me to do it and what would it what would it mean to get there so I'm not gonna go try his trick I'm gonna go try all all the tricks around that trick so if he takes off a certain way I'll just sit there all day doing that one take off and then if he you know tricks are built off of other tricks so if he's doing a front flip I'll just sit there all day doing front flips now I got his take off I got the front flip okay how did he land okay that's similar landing to this trick so I'll do that all day the whole run is the air he did the flip he did and then this and then I put it all together and I just and I break down each little piece and then I put them together but it's awesome to get a blueprint of what somebody's already doing so a lot of my stuff I've tried to train in secret at times because I don't want to just post it online and have like here's what I'm doing yeah you know but then again you have to do it at certain competitions but I love when people are pushing the envelope that like motivates me it does no it really does like I see somebody doing something I go oh great like and and I and not only that I don't want to just copy what they're doing but I'm gonna make it my own I'm gonna do it and then do it in a way that I would do it you know the other thing that you have you said this way you're like well if he can do it I could do it better you know and I think you know what I mean like do you take that for granted brother oh yeah I think a lot of people need to know this like if another person is doing something you could do it hmm so if you see me or someone in a business or if they're doing it this is automatic default mindset isn't I see the trick I can't do that it's literally something I say to myself every single time I'm about to drop in so same idea the guy in front of me drops in and falls perfect blood in the water like what are the judges see right before my killer run is somebody falling great in comparison it's like half watching a bad comedian and a great one you're like oh like I was really good maybe he wasn't even that good he was just much better than the so great and then if the guy lands a run if he did it I could you know I mean I watch and I go oh well man like if he can land this under pressure then obviously I got this and it all kind of like it's ways to like bring it down to a normal level of like you know a doable sentence yeah you you set all your mental games up Sean I caught this when we were talking the first you said all your mental games up where it leads to you winning no there's like there's not a there's not a door out where you don't win even if you don't win yeah I think it's amazing so if the kite nails the trick in front of you like if he can do it I can do it better and if he falls you're like perfect so yeah yeah this is something you do unconsciously I think it's a little bit of a separator for you other than the freakish practice and stuff but that's another little thing I want to talk about hope you don't mind us layering all the things that I love about you is you've kind of learned your own preparation routine meaning I think you've told me used to over practice almost so could you this is important for it no matter what their career is you found your ritual yeah if you will for preparation so just talk about like that a little bit of the tweaks you've made on that over your career no it's great it's something that that really came in later in my career because I would show up to the mountain they're like you got an hour and a half of practice I'm the first guy there I start doing my runs in my laps and you know I'm young and I got energy and I'm going and and I would do my run perfectly I'd get warmed up and start hammering out my run and do that the exact run as many times as I could before the contest started thinking great I did this run perfect 20 times I'm ready for the competition always fall always tanked it during the contest and I'm sitting there like man I just nailed it so many times like why like I was so ready well it's because you just did it 20 times perfectly of course there's gonna be we're human like there's gonna be an error in there so then I thought well if I know after I warm up I'm good for 20 solid runs let's practice less so then I now show up and I go okay cool like I'm gonna show up with that 30 minute warm-up and then after that I know I'm gonna my runs cuz I'm like the hottest I'm gonna be all day I'm I'm not tired I've just hit my like warm up streak and I'm gonna do it and so I watch people all the time go up there they over practice and it's something that I noticed Tiger Woods does in a way I was watching a video and they were describing his his his mentality of things where he'll like step up to the ball and he'll like look at the ball look at where he's gonna hit it look at the ball Gantt then hit it and if that routine doesn't work he goes back and starts the whole system over again so it's kind of the same idea of like you can overthink it you can overdo it and if you know a system of like how to okay get to the ball I look once a ball look boom like yes that's that that's the system you want to follow so now that I know that works for me I show up what happens for you I'm curious so now you're in the starting block yeah yeah start gaem this it's or get your discard gate what are you doing when you're there you know you've told me this later my mind's racing and they're saying that because like well literally the last thing I'd you won't find me at the start gate if it's not my run I'm taking laps I'm free riding around the mountain because I don't want to sit there and like watch the count the counting clock going down and it's like oh my god oh my god here's my run you don't want that you want to show up like you just took a lap and you're fresh your legs are fresh and and other riders have started doing it I see them all now like because if you sit there it's too much so just sit and like watch this oh my god this countdown to your moment so I take free riding laps around the mountain then I show up check in how many more riders ten more cool I got one more lap come back get my board wax I show up and then in the start gate it's an interesting time so the guys you really want to see her toward the end because after qualifying they're seated on the rankings from the day before so when I'm up there I usually get three people out and after the first of the three go I put in one binding just put in one it's this specific oh yeah and then after the second guy goes I put in the second binding and I don't really watch those two I kind of glance but I kind of like thinking to myself of my run I'm thinking of you know things and talking to people and anything to kill the time and then the third and last person drops and I watch that one and I'm waiting for like what we talked about I'm waiting for the oh he made it so I can make it or he fell perfect you know and that's my moment and what's wonderful is the power of music so when you're standing there you can pre pick the songs you want to play over the pipe where you have you know Beats headphones and whatever and that nervous anxiousness like like think about you're standing there at the top and all of a sudden like you're contemplating all the things that could go wrong which usually I've gotten to the point where I don't because I'm so there's just such a useless waste of my time to think of all the terrible outcomes I just want to think of it like I'm gonna win it that's it you focus on the goal at hand and and then this song kicks on it's like your favorite song you're like wow this is the soundtrack to my life you're like you're like got a soundtrack now to your your greatest moment you're like this might just be my my moment my time to shine and all those things as like awkward feelings turn into these positive build and then they send you and then I have a little routine of like high-fiving my one guy and usually playing the same song because it's a trigger yeah so it's like one foot in second foot in that guy goes whatever happens check the score high-five my god and they go and and I don't really miss a beat like when they tell me to go I'm like ready to go or if I'm not I'll take an extra minute like the step up to the golf swing I call all I'll kind of readjust put my goggles listen to the song then go again dude but yeah one of my favorite things ever cover on the show well it's out that's one of my favorite things alright uh no because when I watch your whole physiology change when you did it oh yeah okay yeah yeah put you back in I don't know that version of your just thought I wear a mask in the riding cuz I'm like yeah I'm not normally I'm like my normal life I'm pretty mellow there's Julie like jump out of a plane I like having tea at the so very mellow a normal to use what any routine you put me in the situation it's like something's on the line people are watching and the pressure and then I have that moment - I guess shine or show off or or deliver something that I know I can its ability to shrink focus in the moment yeah and that routine so if you're listening to this what's your routine before you make your presentation before you make your call before you get into work what's your routine you have that song everybody should have that I have it too like when I speak there's but just every every time I spear in another star comes on every same time if I speak that's it comes out of 10 my little routine yeah what about last thing on this stuff just because you're excellent this I just want every it's rare in your lifetime you get to listen to someone who's the greatest all-time at something and and I know you always get humbled when that said but it's a fact and I always look down so like what's gotta give myself some more cred you do well we're just at the beginning because there's some stuff I never did because I was so hungry for the next wins that I was so scared to celebrate yes most recently my girlfriend was like where are the trophies where are they I was like I don't know they're in storage somewhere they're boxes just like so you worked so hard for these things and you don't even like look at him or like where are they and I was thinking about it I was like you know what you're right like let's put the boxes are like right when I pulled them all out and like try to fill our one room at the house with stuff but it's so funny because I never really took the time to enjoy the wins as well and that's my new stage of life is like it's like yeah what got me here won't take me the rest of the way and now I need that reassurance of like man I've done so much like I can't that that that feeling of like hunger to like all I need it I need it doesn't work for me it's more that like you know I want to pursue this and that's my goal because I feel I feel great about myself and about my accomplishments and I'd want more now there's a president like it perfect less than there bro I always want to say something like I love that you said that because it's honest number one and people listen to this I want to say something to you because it's happened for me in my career too if you're early in your career you know what it's okay to be motivated by loss and fear there's nothing wrong with that like that's a driver but after a while if you keep pushing the same mechanism on yourself it doesn't work anymore yeah I'm watching it with Tiger right now golfing he's at different guys like he's actually enjoying the game for sure he's smiling he's laughing it's like he's I look at him I watched her this week and he's looking around and he was looking at this little boy and laughing and the old Tiger be sold the whole time and I think he's like now this stage of my career the whole grain thing won't work anymore yeah mine did himself out of golf almost mentally right and I think back now he's sort of celebrating the enjoyments like you want to win cuz you're running up the score actually reminds me by the way and did you did go ahead no I was gonna say that's a hard one because when you're grinding it just feels like a deeper grande it feels whole you're like no I just need a really great joke I need a really digging deeper and make make that loss and hurt and whatever into a positive motivator to win again cuz it's your recipe yeah but you've just dug so deep that it doesn't you can't be safer there anymore and that's a iOpener I mean I hit that point after the Sochi Olympics mm-hmm and that was hard for me I was sitting there like you know at that Olympics I had the highest score of the night was my qualifying run you know it means so many thoughts going through my head but I I was literally holding the winning cars I just couldn't play him I just couldn't do I couldn't get myself to do it and that was the hardest thing is after that Olympics are like so can you do another whatever and and you know maybe his age maybe it was this whatever and I'm sitting there thinking like if it were physical it'd be so awesome it's so easy you can easily go do more push-ups and sit-ups to get a better trainer to motivate you like but to get your mind right is it's a whole nother battle and so from that point on I started this process of like oh you bring them mellow like you know be be thankful and appreciative of today and what you're doing and and that in turn will bring more motivation later on yourself when you've won that much right for sure I there is a there's a role model for this too by the way who you know which is Brady I watched Brady last years the first year he didn't go to there non-mandatory mini camps pleasure he didn't grind he's like you know what this offseason I'm on a vacation with my family I know the mental break I need to make it I remember even me thinking oh he's slipping yeah and then he comes back and wins another Super Bowl so he's evolved that formula a little bit over time so that's what you know there's validation yeah Tigers winning again in the same way so so but the other way he was so crazy with his awards this is I just need them to hear this did you really dry clean your gold this is my mom this stuff so we were yes and my mom and so I I was I'm 19 I gotta go man I'm running around doing the talk shows and do all this stuff but let me put it on let me check in a touch it you know and by the end the ribbon that was attached to the metal is you know was looking pretty grimy fortunately and my mom you know I can't find it I'm like where is it I'm calling my friends like you have my medal right and they're like no and I'm calling around I'm trying to find it and she's like oh no I dropped it off with a cleaner like what do you mean she's like how it looked dirty I dropped it off and I just remember like oh my god like that's uncanny place that so I'm in a full panic I like I well which cleaner like okay well it's this one so we go over there that color yeah it's ready and they literally handed it to me in the plastic like the hair and she was outraged that the that that piece of fat they charge us like five or ten dollars to have it clean and she was like ten dollars take an air freshener that's what you find bizarre like yes so I remember right okay we got to get a better place - dude that's one of the greatest stories ever I wonder how many people dry clean them yeah getting it handed to me in the plastic like a little hanging okay they did a good job it was clean I love that story yeah I was a kid okay couple more things things I'm enjoying this so much yeah a little longer because two good kids for having this has been fun oh man love it love it so you you get scared like I forget like you're in a really dangerous sport dude I watched your crash in New Zealand yeah that was Wrath was that the worst one or was there one the other one I've seen another one that was pretty you got sixty two stitches yeah in my face your grill right well yeah like I would say it wasn't the worst pain or the most recovery time but it was the most mentally jarring I would say for sure how so just because it's like your face you know it's like it's it's uncomfortable to have stitches to have bitten through my eye bit through my tongue I can still feel it like it was numb forever to eat food still slightly none like it's just everyday the constant reminder of something you know looking in the mirror so that was rough and you know because if you if you break a bone or if you tear something it needs to be fixed and replayed you know reattached or whatever like it's more involved where you know scars and cuts and bruises heal a lot easier but obviously since it was in my face I was just like okay now what I'm like trying to brush my teeth and I'm just spitting up you know stitches falling out of the inside what's the next runway I mean you just had that happen as a key to get up as soon as you can or I was furious at that moment I wasn't hurt I wasn't I wasn't scared I was I was mad I was angry at myself because I knew the mistake I had made and I was the most upset that I couldn't just get up and do it again that was my first thought the worst thing that can happen is you let it build into this big untouchable thing and that's what happened I had to be rushed to the hospital I'm bleeding they got to put my face back together and and and I didn't realize at the time but I had these very severe pulmonary lung contusions so my lungs were bruised and your lungs are like these big sacks of blood that you know when you breathe you taken the oxygen and it sends it through your body and and I had bruised those so badly that I was coughing up blood but I thought it was because I you know the Syria I had swallowing blood from my lip in my face and so that was like a fun surprise later that I I went back to the hospital and they're like you're not going anywhere you need to go back up and I put me on a breathing tube oh my gosh yeah yeah it was a breathing tube with like humidifier you know hot air coming in moist air to to loosen the blood and make sure there's no clots and things and I had this fun bucket that I would you know cough up into and that was rough I mean that was just definitely being so far from home being injured and and I took a crash on the trip before that so this was the trip of like we're gonna set it right baby heck with last trip this is this trip we're gonna make it happen and so everything was going perfect beautiful day and then boom one wrong move we had back to back dude but I do I do I don't know if I would call it yeah I get scared I don't I don't know if I would call it that though it's more of just like reading the situation mmm like I know that like I didn't get enough food or I didn't get enough sleep the conditions aren't really the best and you know I don't know you walking somewhere ever get a gut feeling like this isn't something awful like that I walk away all the time you do you don't realize that a lot about me and and the longevity of my career is because I walk away a lot you know when it's not good I walk away I have to I have to know myself and know my boundaries and like I said earlier is like what's the goal and the goal of my career is a marathon it's not a sprint it's not to appease a sponsor at this current moment or to win this one contest there will be other contests and so it's having the kind of you know when we were at that event and they were talking about having the guts to like ride the the crash of the economy and buy deeper knowing it's gonna go back up like I have to believe in myself and my cycle of my career and my longevity that like I will get to you know more competitions more things more moments to shine and when it's perfect then I'll do it but getting hurt right now doesn't really benefit that long run and so there's plenty of times I show up at a photo shoot something like that and they built this giant 90-foot jump it's kind of breezy a little uphill like they can see they put these flags that blow to show that what the wind is doing cuz think you're going that far and you got something on your feet it becomes like a bit of a sail so if it pushes you the wrong way it can put you off access and then you go down or you know if it's uphill win and you're jumping it'll push you back so you don't go far enough you hit the top and then you bounce down to the bottom it's like there's a lot that could go wrong the time of day it was hot in the morning when we were hitting the jump and the Sun dropped behind the peak and now this the the snow has cooled down and hardened so it's faster because all these variables that go into it and so when I'm not feeling it I walk away and the tough part is is when you get you know at that photo shoot there's like six other young up-and-coming riders like ah my moment to shine up you know - what up Shaun White and and you got to be strong enough to know like oh go for it man like hey have fun I know me and I know I'm not cool with it and all you know if you maybe hit it and whatever and and a lot of times they get hurt unfortunately but you know yeah you don't know their boundaries and they're so eager to try and please and try and you know get that leg up that they're not really seeing the full long run of it all do you think it'd be honest - yeah yeah this is a hard one so I'm in golf for a while Tiger Woods had this kind of intimidation factor yeah where I don't know if guys just thought I got a play even better than I really am to beat this guy and under the extent that feels too far people pay the Patriots it seems like they make more mistakes against the Patriots and they do other teams right that I've seen it happen with Federer or Agassi one of your heroes in tennis right where they play these guys do you have a Dale Earnhardt senior had that in NASCAR later do you have a little of that if you're being honest and in snowboarding like a little of an intimidation factor on on guys I know that it's hard to say on camera it's interesting I mean do you think about it I do it's a factor it you have to factor it into the that's a part of knowing your competitors and knowing what's going on and it's like I remember reading an Andre Agassi's book and it was it was perfectly said we're like the you know whatever other tennis player he was get about to you know be in the match with his walk out he'd get the cheer and then Agassi would walk out and get the cheer you know what I mean it's just showing it's a subtle reminder of like who people came to see and what's going on and and not that I try to you know it's so hard I love talking you about this because it's not a cockiness it's just knowing yourself and knowing what's going on and knowing this situation how to be present and to use it to your advantage but yeah when I step up on the snow and I know that I'm gonna get the cheer and I know they're gonna hear that and I know that you know when I show up and do certain things it'll put them in a mood of thinking that they have to go for it and then at that time I just put an easy run how much of it do you have to visualize like how much is visualization a part of what you do in both sports I think it's huge and I and I love that you touched on the other things that I've done in my life because I started with the template of snowboarding and then took the same ideals and applied them to skating and then to music so like when I was at the top of my game in snowboarding I was like how did I get there okay I'd show up and I'd lose see what the best guy was doing and then work on those tricks that are winning the event and worked my way up to him you know what I mean and then the same thing happened in skating I was at the top of my game they started at the bottom of the barrel again and applied the same sort of attitude of like oh well you know what tricks is he doing that's winning and that even got me in a little hot water because they're like you can't do that trick that's so and so's trick and I was like well what do you mean it's his trick like you know I get a bit of understanding of like you don't want to copy somebody's run but everybody's tricks is from someone else anyway so it's like the progression of the sport and in order to learn his trick then brought me to the point of learning an even better trick so it's a stepping stone on my path it's not a taking his trick and and I worked that all the way to the same situation so when it came to music I formulated a plan and I had a goal of like okay I want to release an album or I want to do this and then how would I do it and I took into all the factors of like well I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate being the fact that like I'm a known snowboarder celebrity in this world and now I'm in this world so and I face that in skating because I was kind of like it's not a tourist cuz I had been in the skate scene but I didn't compete and once I started to compete it changed the dynamic and everybody kind of looked at me differently and treated me differently and it just became a new thing it's the same from learning from that going into music I was like oh well like obviously I don't want to just like buy my way in I could but I don't want to like we're not gonna have a giant tour bus know like we're gonna hit the van I want people to see me like carrying my amp offstage I want people to know that like I'm not above the you know like I grind it out like everyone else we want to do the thing and the only reason we were at Lollapalooza was we're playing this like kids area like we went to Lollapalooza and I was like making a point of it I was like perfect I want people to see me there playing this like really you know small tiny thing to know that like I'm serious like if you want us to play we'll play as we play that's what's up like were there as musicians and no gigs a gig like we're down so like loading our gear in and out whatever and that sort of mentality brought me there and what happened was one of the bands that was headlining it was called The Grove stage I don't know they posted a sign like our art will not be displayed here and people rioted and trashed their gear whatever and it was like out of a movie like we need a band to play the main stage at nine o'clock like we're a band yeah so then so then we we pull up and like we got this big slot and you know every other musicians timed out so they can't just bump up the the second-tier act because that's when people know to come to see them so we got the headlining slot and I'm standing there I'm like alright this is our moment and then the same snowboarding mentality kicked in where I was like it's time to shine so we turned it on with best one of the shows of our our careers and and the the funniest thing that happened was we weren't ready for timeslot like that we didn't actually have enough songs to fit there like one you get that every movie I don't care who you are and even if you watched a rock movie you're like if I could be standing there and then the crowd is cheery from one more song like this is the best dream come true and it happened at Lollapalooza I'm sitting like oh my god this is the best and I'm like oh my god we don't have another song play the first one you know but yeah incredible time and and you know but I feel like visualizing like what are you gonna wear in that moment who's gonna be there to celebrate with you what's it all gonna and it's it's having that clear visual of what you want and there's a lot of people I feel like that tell themselves what they want I need this and I need that and like it's like when you're sitting at home and you're like it's Friday night like should I go out not like and what do you truly want to do like no you don't feel like I'm gonna get dressed and when I stuff like don't don't think what you should do know what you want to do like no you need know what you need to do like you know if I really need some interaction with people you go out you feel it deep down if you really want to go out or not or do something like and a lot of times the real answer is like I don't need them or anybody to validate what I'm doing like I I know what I want and I know what I need and here's what it is and then and you start living that way and it kind of like that the goals start to set themselves like it just starts to become more clear and the more you do it the easier it is to define those goals and wrap things around them so I'm very visual I always like have these little all these little detail it's kind of crazy crazy too deep like I feel like what's crazy about it man so so after the first Olympics I remember looking at the photos of myself and I was like I look horrible I my hair was like all crazy you know I'm like I'm like ugly crying you're like crying and they put you on stage and I just remember being like oh my god like and those are the photos seem like round the world and obviously I'm proud of that moment but I could have yeah you're yelling you're worried about your your image and whatnot and so I was like if I did it again like this is how it would go down and and I had all these little plans of of like I would take my face mask and like roll it into a headband because it would keep my hair in control like I pre planned every single thing of what I was gonna do how I was gonna do it and I got to like relive that same exact day and this is where it gets weird is that I was asked to be on the cover of Rolling Stone and as a music fan that was like dream come true that movie almost famous came out as a Rolling Stone cover and so I'm super excited and I remember being on the cover and they're like take your shirt off it's like you know like my 19 year old like freckled boy body you know and I remember seeing it come out and like the headline wasn't super cool it was about like my nickname at the time and like you know and I was like if I did it again like what would I be wearing and what would I do and so so long story short as I was at the Hard Rock in Las Vegas and I was walking through during my 21st birthday and I saw like a big thing with like Slash's guitar from Guns N'Roses there's a video plane of Axl Rose and he's wearing these like crazy American flag shorts I was like that's cool like I don't think I could do the shorts it's a bold one if it's cold in the mountains so maybe I'll make some decide these jeans made and the whole idea was that if I can win the Olympics then maybe the Rolling Stone will ask me to be on the cover again and then I'll have the jeans it became about and then even deeper was to be on display in the Hard Rock there's the full circle and I was like well falls on the cover again it's rock and roll so then it might be rocking home history piece so I literally like I had the pants made Rolling Stone I it became more about like wearing the pants and winning the Olympics in it and it brought it down to a fun achievable goal and level and so I literally like won the Olympics got the phone call from Rolling Stone appeared on the cover in the pants and then within like the next you know month after the cover came out I was on display at the Hard Rock okay that's an amazing it was crazy like I had I had and it all came to be and it all like so there's such power and like you know the details and what you're gonna I don't know I mean I only say that because it's literally happiness for me yeah yeah I got chills because wigs nuts but I feel yeah I know what happened and the other day is see the really most successful people I know are like hyper visual repetitive specific visualizers like it's so specific like a lot of people think they visualize but it's the specificity and the details of picturing through and the other thing is a lot of times they picture the celebration they picture the win that almost like almost like the wins almost gonna happen and then they think through it and it's amazing I've had a lot of events like that nowhere near that great obviously but like things I visualized many many times and then as they're happening it's almost like a deja vu thing as it's happening so hmm that's a dude there's so many things in here it's like we would blow it up knowing three hours because it's bizarre to me how many of these things like apply to everything in life don't think I wanted to want to know about her - yeah yeah but I got stuff coming up in the future where I want everyone we talk about - coming up and then we'll be done we're just gonna yeah yeah we won't cover it then we'll put a wrap but give me one more key thing you do that most people wouldn't know about you know from me I think the biggest thing that pops into my mind is like finding the separator finding the thing that's gonna be different from everyone else so like when you're watching someone's run a great example I was at a big competition and they had these two jumps that were side-by-side and earlier on in the day we'd heard a rumor that one of them writers names Travis rise he tried to gap between the two Jones and didn't make it and now no one else tried it no it they just heard that it someone couldn't do it and then they all kind of like gave up and in my mind I was like that's where I'm gonna make my move even if I just do something over that you're gonna look at the run and what's gonna separate it from everybody else is that Sean did something on that specific hit you know and I I truly believe I wasn't the best writer that day but I had that thing in my run that separated me from everyone else so at the Olympics I mean that was it this last Olympics in Korea you know I remember sitting there thinking like wow you know I was supposed to be leagues you know hopefully I try to separate myself from the pack with a trick that just people can't hang with you know if I put it down I'm guaranteed to win but since I was injured it leveled the playing field so I was thinking what's my separator gonna be what's gonna be different so I decided to do my hardest trick and right out the gate on the first hit to show that you know I'm coming out swinging with that that sort of thing where my competitor did it err on his first hit so you're left with this impression of like he came out he did the biggest hit of his you know run right there off the bat the hardest trick hardest combination and then I ended with the hardest combination and what were you left with so it's that separator that you can find anything to kind of like make you stand out from the pack and that's what you want that's huge so Melissa this you have you thinking what's your separator for you personally for your business for your product for your company for your family for something in your sport what's your separator that's really if you're all bringing yeah yeah you're also on the same thing but what's gonna be that one unique thing that makes you stand out more than everyone else is that the packaging is it the yeah I always find that that's that thing and even in my career is like the way I look like I had long red haired so like yeah he looks different then so I just grew it even longer like I became you know I looked different I did things differently if everybody was gonna show up wearing hoodies like I was I would show up in like a nice suit or something like any little detail to kind of like put me in a different you bracket or a different place and then when when you start doing that everybody else looks at you differently oh he's different he's specially he's you know I don't know I feel like there's there's more to it than just you know competing obviously like you said there's more there's layers to it wow that's a static stuff one thing I also want you guys to know about him that we're not gonna have time to cover but he also he's not just done this at music he's also done this in the business side of his life and in the investment and financial side of his life without being very specific as a very very successful man financially and one of the things that I admire the most about you is it's your humility so I've been with you you treat someone at Chipotle exactly how you would treat one of the more famous people that we both know right you just for something who's been this successful this long for you to mean we did actually have a driver on a corner be headed King but we were pretty happy where you're challenged believe in Lucia but but you treat everybody the same but that's humility he asks a lot of questions guys about business and an investment and how to move his life forward and that only comes from being humble and I think that same formula of you picturing and putting the group together in the it's just the same exact formula but everyone will kick my butt if I don't at least ask you towards the end about skateboarding oh please oh this guy's obviously become an icon of a skateboarding world as well and people kind of want to know I know you can't answer this but what I just say this you were skateboarding before you came here today I was curious what would you tell them about where you're heading in skateboarding and then I'm just curious the second part of that which sport is harder for you of the two and then so tell them what you're doing with skateboarding is that you can yea then which sport smarter well to bring it back I mean so for the first time ever the Olympics for the Summer Olympics will host skateboarding surfing I think rock climbing those are the new sports that came into the Olympics for the Summer Games and obviously I'm known in the world of snowboarding from winning you know the Olympics and things and everybody pictures me as such a snowboarder but in the background and as much exposure as the Olympics would give you I'm just as much of a skateboarder and so my skateboarding career was doing great I mean went pro at 16 and I basically accomplished my goals of winning winter summer x-games and I was at the top of both sports and I only traded that out because it became so demanding on my body to do winter summer when I had no stops and I thought wow what an amazing thing to trade in music during that time it's the new frontier for me to do something and at the time it was beautiful because it was the only team element thing I had so it's a nice contrast to my life on the on the snow being this is my thing me me me this was like what are we doing in our collective sound and how are we getting it done so it's a nice contrast to my life at the time and at the time when those skateboarding motivation like we said digging from that same place if I got a win was it really there anymore and I realized that from my snowboarding and things and so I kind of shelf the skating and now boom they put it into the Olympics and it's given me this kind of like wind to pick it back up and obviously picking up something that I don't do as often you know it's so exciting everything's fun just you know being out skating different parks and making new friends you know cuz everybody I skated with at the time skates vert and said I should be clear about that is that vert skating is like Tony Hawk and and myself that's how I competed on these big ramps very similar to snowboarding right now they're doing Park which is like bowls and corners and hips and rails and things like that and so it's a different discipline but I can take a lot of what I learned from vert and bring it to the bull skating and then I've skated things like that my whole life so it's an interesting time and I haven't officially decided to go for skate but what you talked about earlier Tom Brady taking a break I realized that after the Olympics nothing compares to it the excitement the drive that every single moment in your life has meaning and purpose because it's leading up to this moment and no matter what win or lose you're left with this like drop off you know and it's difficult and no one really like you've made your whole time doing and working at something and somebody all of a sudden is like somebody said something like you need to work at chillin you need to work at being able to just turn it off and see like that true and it's hard without being a depressor you need to learn how to just be calm and be content and enjoy that moment without that goal at hand and so naturally I take the season after the Olympics off anyways and so I've been filling that time with skateboard and it's been like wonderful and so I haven't officially decided to go for skate but I think the call finds in June so at some point I'm gonna either have to where do you think the qualifying is I think the first one will be the Dew Tour event in Huntington the good attitude so you got to come okay if you can pick the line I will be so that's sort of a hint as to where you're going yeah so so the brother like I've enjoyed today I came to tell you man I knew this would be great but I just enjoyed it so much but I want everybody be able to follow you because
