 Hi, I'm Pete Spate. I'm a Team GB Half Pipe skier. I've been skiing for about 16, 17, 18 years now from Sheffield, UK. So when I was really young, I went on a few family ski-ski-ski holidays and then when I moved up to Sheffield when I was 12, I went to Sheffield ski-ski village. Yeah, there was some good coaching at ski village, but it was more about sort of everyone just feeding off each other when it came to tricks and everything like that. I got some some technical lessons when I was younger, which I was lucky enough to get from my mom and dad's and taking me abroad, so that gave me like a really good base of technical ability. I think when I was 17, I did my first half pipe comp abroad, the European Open and it was that point where I got really inspired and decided I was going to compete in half pipe. The ski village had a dry slope half pipe, which was like really tiny, but I guess it introduced me to it and gave me that base of base of ability. And in 2013, which coincided with my first year at uni, I made a massive step up in my game and I made my first finals in a major cork contest down in New Zealand in the summer of 2013 and that was a real sort of breakthrough moment where it's the first time that I competed properly against all the top guys and that was a massive motor to debate from then on. So I sort of see that as like a real sort of breakthrough moment at the moment. When the Olympics first got announced into half pipe, which was only six years ago now, I was sort of in the stages of just coming up and just becoming competitive. So it wasn't an immediate and obvious goal for me, but as time has gone on, unfortunately, I missed out on the last one through some injuries. So that's been a driver for this next one for sure. And it's become a more realistic goal to be on that stage as things have gone on. And I've just focused on progressing and now I'm in a position where I'm on track. So I think you've got to try and be level, sort of headed around all that and chilled and just stick to your own game plan and push what's appropriate for you so you don't get wrapped up and caught up in it all. But yeah, there's definitely another intensity, which is sick as well. There's that extra energy and everyone's feeding off each other and pushing it, so it's cool.
