best choice definitely fast grab ground helps
That was definitely not the best grab of choice to be strategic. If you see any of my races, you know I'm always grabbing. It helps get me on the ground as fast as possible.

There is a real science to this. When we have jumps, we try to get on the ground as quickly as possible. You've got to remember, you're faster on the snow than you are in the air.

Snowboard cross gives me a horrible feeling in my stomach.

I had been having trouble with that jump all day. (Grabbing the board) helps you stabilize in the air. I tried but it didn't work.
