On Brad Holmes Holmes

Hands down is the funniest person you'll ever meet in your life.
He raps as a joke, I will defend holmes till the day I die.

Cusson, he's the most amazing athlete of all time. He can sit
around for 3 days, not leave the couch, be drunk the whole time,
and then go out and school everybody.

Don't really want to this year, there is not that many girls
competing, sometimes just Sarah and I.

Keep it small, definitely nothing over 900. Probably flat spins,
and rodeo 180's. Claim to fame I was on MTV last year, and met Mandy
Moore. It was fun, but I'm with Brittany Spears, I like her.
