0:35.2	Before we get started, I want to remind you that we're heading to tell your rides soon to test a bunch of gear, and we'd love to have you come join us on
0:41.3	the weekends of February 24th, March 10th, and March 17th. So if you want to come take some
0:48.0	laps with us or meet up for an Opry drink, come out to Tell Your Ride on those weekends,

2:02.2	the best ski possible for his skiing style to win X games and now he's in the Olympics on
2:09.4	that ski. So it was, yeah, it was a really cool process to work with David. He's definitely one of the most in-tune athletes like I've ever
2:22.0	dealt with as far as ski design and feedback. And yeah, he's just super passionate. We probably
