THREE - The most important thing in my life is my family, especially my two children.

FOUR - The elements can always beat you up. Use good judgement.

SIX - I can climb 1000 metres in just 15 minutes with a kite, instead of three hours with skins. There’s only one thing in life better than that feeling!
