trampoline a ton rising up since I had one within the yard. Lately, my important factor is simply attempting to ski as a lot as I can.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes we&#8217;ll leap on airbags in the summertime \u2014 that\u2019s actually good if you&#8217;re attempting some trick that you&#8217;re not fairly certain about or is admittedly experimental. I\u2019ve at all times advised myself, \u201cThe more you ski, the better you get.\u201d The solely solution to get good at snowboarding is thru snowboarding \u2014 nothing else.<\/p>\n<p>I additionally get a ton of train outdoors. I like browsing, I like happening hikes, skateboarding, and I do lots of cardio-related stuff. But I\u2019m not cranking a ton of heavy weights within the gymnasium.<\/p>\n<h4>What was it like rising up in Switzerland?<\/h4>\n<p>It was wonderful. I grew up outdoors of Zurich. It was superior as a result of I grew up snowboarding at a bunch of various resorts, so I acquired to discover quite a bit. Many resorts I skied at rising up didn\u2019t have parks, so I grew up snowboarding the mountain terrain and powder. I feel that basically helped form how I have a look at snowboarding and the artistic facet of issues.<\/p>\n<p>Also, I by no means had a coach till I moved to the U.S. and joined the U.S. workforce. I feel not having a coach helped me to self-express and determine it out alone as a substitute of somebody telling me tips on how to be taught methods or tips on how to do them. There is not any proper solution to do a trick \u2014 it&#8217;s all as much as self-interpretation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"related-in-article grid-x grid-margin-x\">\n<div class=\"thumb-image cell small-4 first\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/gearjunkie.com\/news\/woodward-first-international-location-sydney-australia?sce=post-related-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/ywAAAAAAQABAAACAUwAOw==\" fifu-lazy=\"1\" fifu-data-sizes=\"auto\" fifu-data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=75&resize=75&ssl=1 75w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=100&resize=100&ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=150&resize=150&ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=240&resize=240&ssl=1 240w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=320&resize=320&ssl=1 320w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=500&resize=500&ssl=1 500w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=640&resize=640&ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=800&resize=800&ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=1024&resize=1024&ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=1280&resize=1280&ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1&w=1600&resize=1600&ssl=1 1600w\" class=\"lazy wp-post-image\" decoding=\"async\" fifu-data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-200x133.jpg?ssl=1\" src-retina=\"https:\/\/s3.amazonaws.com\/images.gearjunkie.com\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Woodward_Exterior_2-400x266.jpg\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" alt=\"Coming Soon: Woodward's First International Sports Facility Slated for Australia\" title=\"Coming Soon: Woodward's First International Sports Facility Slated for Australia\"\/><\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"cell small-8 last\">\n<h5>Coming Soon: Woodward&#8217;s First International Sports Facility Slated for Australia<\/h5>\n<div>Prepare for Woodward&#8217;s first abroad opening.

I did my final years of highschool there, so I\u2019d go to high school all summer time and ski all winter.<\/p>\n<p>Also, my dad grew up in Salt Lake, and his dad and mom lived there, so shifting from Switzerland to the U.S. didn\u2019t appear as far-fetched as a result of I had some household. My dad and mom and brother stayed again in Switzerland, and I moved after I was 16.<\/p>\n<h4>Do you favor competing, filming films, or snowboarding for enjoyable?<\/h4>\n<p>A mixture is ideal. That\u2019s my favourite \u2014 doing somewhat little bit of the whole lot. Last yr was a ton of competitors <strong><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rjWc60JB4vs\" rel=\"noopener\">and a few filming<\/a><\/strong>. This yr I hope to have a greater stability of snowboarding for myself. I feel I&#8217;d get bored if I did only one factor all season. Doing a little bit of the whole lot retains it tremendous entertaining \u2014 selection is the spice.<\/p>\n<h4>Where do you retain your gold medal?<\/h4>\n<p>In my sock drawer. It\u2019s tucked away in there. I don\u2019t ever need to lose it. Rarely, if I am going to an occasion the place somebody requests, I\u2019ll deliver it, however I\u2019m fearful I\u2019ll lose it.<\/p>\n<p>I used to be in Europe for a month and I needed to deliver my medal on that journey, and it was in my backpack for a month.
