Yep.

And I figured that out and I started watching it, and I kind of had a bit of an insight to the world championship before that.
16:11
Um, but I never really kind of knew too much about it.
16:17
And so I was watching these and I was, I was sat there one day and it was the final round in Fabriano in Italy, and Jack Edmondson, who was the youth champion that year, there was a bit of like an inside story on him and it was him speaking and his dad showing him this line over the rocks and anyway, he went over these rocks and, and fell off.
16:41
And anyway, his dad kind of throws his hands in the air and kind of gets a bit pissed off and, and I was like, "Fuck.
16:49
Like this, this guy's a world champion.
16:51
He can't even ride over a few rocks." [laughs]
