"\"&lt;p&gt;&lt;P&gt;Interview by Natasza Zurek&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Besides being my hero for interviewing her friend, fellow Canadian, and Morrow rider Stacey Burke for us, Natasza was also Stacey\\u2019s and Lori Glazier\\u2019s hero for being their tech support in a slower than slow pipe. Nat\\u2019s wax job\\u2019s allowed Lori to qualify fifth with Stacey ending up tied for eighth. &lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Unfortunately, like Danny Kass in the men\\u2019s division who had tied for fifteenth, the judges looked at the tied rider\\u2019s overall impression scores as a tie breaker, knocking both Stacey and Danny out of the finals.\\u2013Leah Jones&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  You just had a really good run. I helped you out with some wax. Did it really help you out?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  Nat, you\\u2019re the technician. I was having a totally hard time, struggling and then you hooked me up.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  I\\u2019m glad that you did good. Look you\\u2019re in second now. Who are some of your favorites for this event?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  I\\u2019m not sure. Shannon\\u2019s Dunn riding really good. You always rip.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Thanks.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ: You want to stay in Canada a lot more these days. What\\u2019s the reason?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  My boyfriend lives in Whistler, and I love it up there riding powder and the park with him. It\\u2019s super fun.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Boyfriend\\u2019s are a real good reason to stay where you\\u2019re staying. Does your boyfriend push you?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB: Yeah, he\\u2019s an awesome rider and he\\u2019s pushing me all the time. He tells me to go big and to spin. I have to spin, \\u2019cause that\\u2019s what it takes to win. And he\\u2019ll learn tricks with me and stuff.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Does he help you out in competition, make you fell less nervous, or help you get your mental frame of mind more together?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  He just encourages me and tells me that I can do it. But I learn more of those types of things from my friends who have competed a lot. He gets mad when he doesn\\u2019t win, so he doesn\\u2019t compete as much as he should. I like learning from you and Michele and my friends who compete all the time. &lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Michele\\u2019s definitely a good person to talk to about that kind of stuff. She\\u2019s always readily available to give out good advice. So, Stacey, I\\u2019ve noticed that you have green eyes, and a lot of other female competitors in snowboarding have green eyes, like Tara and Tina.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  And you. We all love snowboarding and are creative and a little bit different and green eyes are a little different and that makes a difference.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  I wonder what proportion of pro snowboarders have what color of eyes? Like I wonder how many have green eyes as oppossed to how many have blue eyes and if having a certain color of eyes dictates whether they perform better or not. I doubt it, but it would be interesting to find out.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  It would be interesting.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Next you\\u2019re going to the Goodwill Games. What are the other events you are going to do this season?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  The Goodwill Games and then back to Tahoe for the Vans Triple Crown, then to Park City, the ISF in Stohenem, the U.S. Open, and then home.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Do you like riding pipe, or park, or big air best?&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  Right now I like pipe the best. I want to concentrate on pipe going into the Olympics, but after that I want to concentrate way more on park and I love freeriding and riding powder, too.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;B&gt;&lt;P&gt;NZ:  Especially in Whistler.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\/B&gt;&lt;P&gt;SB:  Yeah.&lt;\\/P&gt;&lt;\\n&lt;\\/p&gt;\\n\""^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
