What is it about you and big events?

Danny Harf: I guess I don't let the pressure get to me, I kind of feed off it. I guess that's why I always do well here.

Talk about your run today. You went down early, then stomped it the rest of the way.

Danny Harf.

Danny Harf: I kind of over shot the first trick and went down early. After that I knew I had to step it up in my run. I threw the 720 in there at the end of my run because I knew that the fall would hurt, but I had already decided to do the 900 in the double up.

When you came into the dock did you feel like you nailed your run?

Danny Harf: In the air on that 900 I knew I had. I could feel that I was in control out there. I came around on that last rotation, felt the handle and pulled it.

Who was the first person you wanted to talk to after winning?

Danny Harf: I called my girlfriend and told her what I did.

What is the most important thing to do to win this competition.

Danny Harf: Going out and throwing really big technical tricks is very important. You're riding with the top guys in the world. Any one of those guys in the final could of won, so you've got to do something that makes you stand out against all those top riders, really try to go big and grab everything.

How much do you train?

Danny Harf: I ride 4 or 5 days of week for one or two hours per day. It's hard on your body so I try to make when I rider count and not over-do it. I practice with Parks Bonifay, Shane Bonifay and Erik Ruck.

You hurt your knee a while ago, putting you out of a lot of events. But you are still competing?

Danny Harf: I threw out my knee about a month ago on a kicker. I missed the end of the Pro Tour and other events to save myself for the X games. Then, the Dr. said that I totally destroyed my ACL, and I couldn't make it any worse by riding. So I try to take it easy when I'm practicing and really take it out in the competitions. After the season is over I'll go in and have surgery to repair the problem.
