QUOTES
Devin Logan, X Games Silver Medalist
I was cheering on Kaya today, we all want to push the sport every contest; I wanted her to put pressure on me to elevate the level of my riding, same with Anna (Segal). I saw her run and I knew I could do it. We all root for each other while pushing each other at the sometime. She gave me a run for my money and that’s what I was asking for.
