00:00It's pretty crazy actually. Cody has been through this experience before, it's all sort of new to me.

00:10He's been very helpful and I mean we did a lot of our trialling stuff together which was awesome

00:16and he's awesome to work with. The whole team is an amazing environment to be in really.

00:21Well it's my second time trialling. I trialled originally in 2023 for the Finland team

00:29and I didn't make it and then I got to go to the World Cup last year which is an open event so you don't need to trial.

00:36And that was an awesome experience and then that kind of segued into trialling again this year and being successful and being able to go.

00:43So it's been a bit of a journey but it's been good.

00:46So I've been doing it for eight years? Yeah.

00:49Yeah, since 2017.

00:51Especially this year discipline is super nice to see that.

00:54So it does spill over in matters of like, I know I need to get my school work done because I have to train.

00:59So I'll probably put in a lot more effort at school to get it done so I don't have to do homework at all.

01:03Going to the gym I know that I need to get stronger to hit through more boards so I'm going to be doing that more consistently.

01:09And with fewer excuses I'd say because no matter what, Worlds is going to happen and we're going to have to go there.

01:15Or get to go there, have the amazing opportunity to go there.
