Scotty James is no elder statesman at 28 years old, but usually, athletes in his field are usually setting things up for their retirement. At just 15, James made his Olympics debut becoming the youngest Australian to compete at the Winter Games.

Since that time, he’s dominated the half pipe for nearly a decade and has the hardware and accolades to boot: two-time Olympic medalist, seven-time X Games medalist, three-time world champion, and a US Open champion.

Thanks in large part to James’ early focus on his training, recovery, and nutrition, he’s still able to one-up his younger rivals. And there are no thoughts of slowing down anytime soon. Before he gets set to compete at the X Games Aspen SuperPipe Friday night on ESPN, James talked M&F through some of his necessities for both competition and practice—and fresh fruit survival.
