We flew to Oslo for the 2013 World Championships last week, and I was not expecting my first Norwegian trip to be such a success. It was awesome to stay in the city and to be a tourist in between our trainings sessions. This was not a rumor, the halfpipe in Vinterpark is really a beauty! With my head issues, plus a cold, I missed a few trainings and that stressed me for the qualifiers, but I went through. The night of the finals, the pipe was one of the best I had ever ridden in my life. It was such a huge pleasure and the only thing in my mind was to enjoy this unique moment. I did it and had tones of fun from the beginning until the end. Being crowned World Champion for the second time in my career is unbelievable, I still need to realize what happened last week... But one thing I know is that I would never be where I am today without the help of all the amazing people around me. This is why I really want to thank my family, all my friends and my sponsors for your support! Last but not least, I am dedicating this medal to you my angel, Sarah Burke...
