6:48 – I was always trying to find dirt in California to make jumps on 

11:13– my first car was a 1987 Toyota 4-runner, since then I’ve had five 4-runners             

19:53 – I went down the wrong path, got wrapped up into drugs and alcohol and quickly found myself homeless and out of a job hanging out with the wrong kids – something in my head said, “This is not your life.”

29:56 – One night we were talking, and I was like, “you know what? I Think we should move back home to Arizona.”

39:29 – We went to the Put Up or Shut Up in Congress in 2007, stood out in the rain all day and could not take my eyes off what those vehicles were doing! 

56:49 –I hit up the General Manager at the mine, and said, Have you ever seen a rockcrawl? No, what’s that, so I took him out and showed him my vision.

1:09:11 – One of the things that I believe in and that the mine believes in is continuous improvement. That’s what we’re doing to the event site.
