When other people are watching, especially from the chairlift, it makes me want to go so much bigger. I love throwing backs off little cliffs next to the chairlift, people go nuts.

it depends cause when i just get into the park i like to warm up with straight airs so if im warming up id rather not have people watching,

but when im doing the best stuff i can do then its fun to have people watch

the best would be to have just your friends with you i guess

Dude I hucked 50 ft to flat off a cornice last week because some asshole was down there with a camera. (he also lied and told me it had a perfect tranny). That was the biggest i've ever gone and I wouldnt have thought about it alone. Other people always push me.

I love it when you do something huge and really clean and everyone on the lift is just cheering it feels amazing, but when you just eat shit is sucks because you look like an ass.

if im skiing with friends i usually try new stuff.

if im skiing alone with a bunch of people i dont know ill probably not try anything new but old tricks that i know i can do since ive already done them.

it really depends on the park and the riders i guess.

yes. i usually do practice things i can already do when im on my own, but when other peeps are with me/watching from the lift it pumps me up enough to go for a 7 instead of just a 5. or something likethat
