Because he's got to either have
the mountains or the ocean, I think.

:20:03
If I didn't get to
come back home to my parents,
I'd probably- I'd be in a box.

:20:07
A card board box by the Dumpster.

Shawn's favorite sign in the whole world
is the store that has- What, Shawn?

:20:21
[Shawn ]
Guns, liquor, ammo!

:20:25
Pull!
:20:27
You won't get that.
I knew you wouldn't get that.

:20:30
I thought we were going this way!
We're going to.

:20:32
Pull!
There it goes.

:20:34
Hey!
:20:36
Going back to Alaska for me is-
I wouldn't call it a comeback 'cause I've
been here the whole time,you know.

:20:41
But it's gonna be
an excellent opportunity.

:20:43
I'm excited just to get up there
and do some chopper time.

:20:49
Yeah, I want to show everybody
that I've still got some skills.

:20:52
And for sure up there, I know I can-
you know, I can getwith anybody
up on a big mountain.

:20:57
Pull!
:21:00
I knew you'd miss.
:21:02
Oh, you got it on the second one.
Nothing wrong with that.
How do you like me now?.

:21:07
Shawn had this
anti establishment thing.

:21:10
And that's what appealed
to all the young people.

:21:13
He gave them a sense
of a free-riding spirit...

:21:17
that did what he and they thought
was the right way...

:21:22
to do and express yourself.
:21:24
The bad downside to that
would be,

:21:26
you have to live up to some
pre-concept that people have.

:21:30
So everywhere you go, they expect you
to, like, break bottles over your head
or something, you know?

:21:34
Or just do something crazy.
:21:36
That was the hard part to deal with.
:21:38
And I think that's
one of the reasons why...

:21:39
among the-
what I want to call the subculture-
I'll say the snowboard culture-

:21:44
that's whyhe's been able to
retain the following that he has.

I came out in a movie
called Totally Board One.

:21:50
I think when that movie came out,
it really did rock the industry.

:21:55
I ended up doing
that Mount Baker Road Gap,
which was a mythical beast.
