Kelly Clark won the first gold
for the United States
during that Olympics,
1:22:04
and that was a huge deal.
1:22:06
It really got the attention
of the American public.
1:22:09
They actually gave it
the coverage that it deserved,
1:22:11
and America finally got to see
snowboarding competition,
1:22:14
how it could be.
1:22:16
People freaked out.
1:22:18
Forty-seven years
after the last time the Americans
swept anything in the Olympics,
1:22:22
we get the U.S. snowboard team
come in, and they do it.
1:22:26
And they were the perfect package.
1:22:28
You had the pretty boy,J.J. Thomas.
1:22:30
You had the consummate
professional, Ross Powers,
1:22:32
and the dirtbag, Danny Kass.
1:22:34
I think it was, like, kind of like
a morale booster for the States.
1:22:37
I was just more pumped
that my family was there.
A lot ofthem came out.
1:22:40
So that's where the pride
really kicked in.
1:22:42
It was, like, made my mom proud.
I think she cried. It was awesome.
1:22:46
[ Mock Crying ]
Oh, God. Cut!
1:22:50
[Tina]
With the guys in 2002,
1:22:52
all of a sudden
snowboarders are our heroes.
1:22:54
And they're hopeful for getting
more gold medals at the Olympics
for years to come.
1:23:10
- Whoo!
- Yeah!
1:23:18
[ Farmer]
It's kind of turned down the volume
on my program a little bit.
1:23:22
The conditions are tough,
and I jacked myself a little bit.
1:23:24
When you throw down and kill one,
a really sweet line,
1:23:28
it's an awesome feeling,you know.
1:23:30
I can still get down some stuff
and throw down a decent line, I think.
1:23:33
Yeah! Farm!
1:23:36
[White ]
Everyday I've gone up, it'sjust been
some weird new experience.
1:23:39
And this is the only place
I've really felt out of control.
1:23:43
I haven't felt like I was on top of my game,
like I could do anything.
1:23:48
It's tough when you feel like that,
1:23:50
especially after so many years of me
just feeling like I could do anything.
1:23:53
And I don't know- It just kind of
changed my whole perspective
on everything.
