I think it's about getting in the moment. Everything else ceases to exist except for carving lines down the slope. All the bullsh*t evaporates and you're left with the ecstasy of the moment.

For me, it's surfing. It's being out in the water, waiting for the swell, then just dropping in and bombing down your line. Greatest feeling ever

impossible is a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given rather than exploring the power they have to change it

The rush is great, but it's the calm after the rush that you can't beat
