Owake waba ngumdlali wokuzivocavoca ube ngomunye wabadlali basemoyeni abamangalisa kakhulu be-snowboarding kusukela eneminyaka engu-13. Njengoba lo mgijimi we-Olympian osephindwe kabili elungiselela ukuthatha imithetho yefiziksi futhi ku-X Games ngo-January, sifunda ukuthi yini emenza aphawule. (Wake wazibuza ukuthi i-The X Games Aspen Ibikezela Ama-Olympic Champions?)

EH: Ingxenye enhle kunazo zonke ukuthi, uma usebenzise okuthile kaninginingi, akudingeki ucabange. Konke kuhlangana nje. Uzilungiselele futhi wazi kahle ukuthi ukwenze kanjani, ngakho umzimba wakho umane uthatha izintambo.
