You’ve built your own halfpipe for Red Bull Project X. How did that come about?
I had the idea to go out to Silverton and the guys from Red Bull were saying, ‘No, let’s go further’, saying that they wanted to build this private halfpipe. ‘You can work on something new, we can do some great filming,’ they said. ‘You can get a lot more done and you can do it in one place, in peace, over a set period of time. And you’ll get to hang out.’ That was pretty hard to resist. So is it just about having the freedom to practice when you want? Another big bonus is safety. Once when my friends and I were filming at Park City, word got out and people started to drift over. That’s cool, I don’t mind people watching, but it started to get a little dangerous because they’re jetting all over the place in this one controlled area. My friend was dropping into the big quarter pipe and out of nowhere some kid just took over, cut my friend out and my friend goes flying out of it and broke his wrist. I had the same once while skateboarding: eight stitches because a kid shot his board out
