24
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:00,680
Speaker 3: many hurdles along the way, so it was just it

25
00:01:00,720 --> 00:01:04,759

29
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:17,959
Speaker 1: give me a dig. Do you think in that twelve

30
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:21,560
Speaker 1: months you've increased your chances of maybe coming home with

31
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,800
Speaker 1: the gold poppy?

32
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:27,280
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. It was definitely tricky when everyone

33
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:29,080
Speaker 3: thought the Olympics is going to be off for a

34
00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 3: little bit, so it took a little bit to get

35
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 3: back into it at the start, but definitely now like

36
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 3: being an America and towards the end of it, definitely

37
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 3: spiced up a bit and skating with all my friends

38
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,880
Speaker 3: again and it's been great. So definitely progressing a lot,

39
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,119
Speaker 3: which has been super fun.

40
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:48,840
Speaker 2: It's so cool pop Like, honestly, you're probably doing tricks

41
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 2: that I could only ever perform on Tony Hawk pro

42
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 2: skated too, So that's completely wild. Actually, are you able

43
00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: to do Like I'm trying to think about the best

44
00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 2: trick I could do on Time New York? Like, I

45
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:02,280
Speaker 2: think if you're seven, you've got a seven twenty So

46
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:03,200
Speaker 2: that's a big deal.

47
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:06,240
Speaker 3: That's a pretty big deal. I'm not sure. I'm not

48
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 3: sure about that one.

49
00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 2: They wait, how many degrees have you got that one?

50
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,880
Speaker 2: Are you on the three sixty five forty where you're at?

51
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,800
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got some three sixties going done.

52
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 2: I feel like if I could do a five forty,

53
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,480
Speaker 2: I'd like tattoo it on your foe. Yeah, I'd have

54
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:23,959
Speaker 2: it like a little label on my shirt or something.

55
00:02:24,760 --> 00:02:26,520
Speaker 2: Ask me about my five forty.

56
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: And then you'd lose all the cool for it.

57
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:33,720
Speaker 4: Do you have like a move that you're famous for, Poppy? Like,

97
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 3: she's thirteen, and she she won all of the Olympic

Speaker 1: Japanese miss yeahs.

101
00:04:44,839 --> 00:04:47,039
Speaker 3: And she she kind of came out of the woodworks

102
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,800
Speaker 3: like there was one comp I remember her doing it

103
00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 3: a couple of years ago and she got like I

104
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:55,080
Speaker 3: don't know, like twentieth or something. She only had a

105
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 3: couple of tricks, and then she came back like a

106
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 3: year later and won all the comps.

107
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 4: I mean, do you start saying things around like you know, Jo, like,

108
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:07,280
Speaker 4: if you want us to investigate it, we can.

109
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,279
Speaker 2: We can turn the media on her if you want.

110
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:12,200
Speaker 3: She's just I don't know, she's just on a mission.

111
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,800
Speaker 4: Yeah, Poppy with we're talking about doping and you know,

112
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:20,000
Speaker 4: sports performance in hands in and whatnot, Like in skateboarding,

113
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 4: do you do things like gym sessions and like, you know,

114
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 4: although fitness or is it just just skateboard just practice skateboarding.

115
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,000
Speaker 3: No, I think a lot of people do a lot

116
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 3: of cross training. It depends on people like skateboarding, Like

117
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 3: I feel like a lot of the skaters are often

118
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:38,200
Speaker 3: just going to skate parks all day, but cross training

119
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:39,880
Speaker 3: has definitely come into it. And I know there's a

120
00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:42,440
Speaker 3: lot of people gyp stuff to which is very very

121
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,120
Speaker 3: new for skateboarding, I feel like, but it's definitely it

122
00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:46,039
Speaker 3: definitely helped.

123
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:47,839
Speaker 2: Like what if you want to do like a hand plant,

124
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 2: like I used to do them on Tony Hawk pro

125
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:52,400
Speaker 2: skater too and imagined that would take a hell of

126
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 2: a lot of shoulder strength.

127
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,279
Speaker 3: There's all different things you can work on for tricks

128
00:05:56,320 --> 00:06:00,279
Speaker 3: like you're could at I'm guessing and just like yeah,

129
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Just getting stamina up and being able

130
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,080
Speaker 3: to be fit, because in skateboarding you got to basically

131
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 3: kind of be going as fast as you can more

132
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:12,159
Speaker 3: For me, stay on for like forty five seconds, which

133
00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:14,640
Speaker 3: doesn't seem that long, but when you're trying to go

134
00:06:14,680 --> 00:06:16,960
Speaker 3: as fast as you can and just wow, pumping around

135
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 3: a boat, it takes it out of.

136
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 2: Stageous, stay away from the devil's lettice. That's not what

137
00:06:23,080 --> 00:06:27,240
Speaker 2: I'm a suggested. Hi, make congratulate License on being in
