**What did your preparation for this event look like?**

For PNWR this year I spent a good 2-3 months grinding my final routine. I reworked spots in the routine where I saw too many mistakes too often, and really tried to focus a lot more on my music cues. I try to emulate the pressure I will feel on stage, and attempt to get the routine consistent in that head space. When I got to a point of consistency in almost each run, I felt confident in the performance.

**What gear did you use and did you have any special set up?**

I used an Unprld prototype! I used Original Throw normal string (yellow), NSK bearing, and Hollywood Modern pads (white shore 50)

**Was there a specific trick or element you were most proud to pull off on stage? Or a favorite part of our performance/routine?**

One of the best tricks was the middle of the routine, I hit a very difficult tower trick and cued it very well to the song. It was a crucial part of the performance, and I believe hitting it added a lot to the performance. The very last trick in my freestyle really helped tie it all together as well.

**What’s your favorite memory from PNWR?**

My favorite memory from PNWR is always getting to see friends, old and new, getting to see people we only see a few times a year and just catching up with them is one of the best parts of any contest.

**What advice do you have for people looking to compete for the first time?**

My advice to players who want to compete for their first time is just do tricks that you personally enjoy, use music that you vibe to, and try developing a style all your own before worrying about learning the hardest tricks you can.
