I don't know we've all come here together so it's not like they've given me tips before coming, we're here doing it together so. \n\nChristina Macfarlane, Anchor and Correspondent, CNN: Sadly your eldest brother Josie can't be here, you know, he missed out on the games. How much of an inspiration has he been to you because he was the first one right? To lead the charge. Tell me about that. \n\nJackson Wells. Competing in Freestyle Skiing Slopestyle: Yea Josie kind of paved the way for freeskiing in a way, like he was the first one in a way to compete in the X-GAMES and I don't know, burst through to the professional stage of freeskiing, and to have that to look up to is just so amazing. \n\nChristina Macfarlane, Anchor and Correspondent, CNN: Bruce I'm interested because as a father and as a coach it must be an interesting dynamic because you want these boys to go for broke, but you don't want them to break anything, right? Because this is a pretty dangerous sport. How do you feel when you're out there and you're seeing the guys compete?\n\nBruce Wells, Father/Freestyle Skiing coach: They know what their limitations are, and they know how well they've trained - their mentals are really sound, and they've managed to develop these tricks pretty safely, and as long as you know what I'm looking at is within those boundaries I'm really happy and just loving it, but they're always still just on the edge of chaos. \n\nChristina Macfarlane, Anchor and Correspondent, CNN: And is he a hard task master guys? How strict is he with you? \n\nByron Wells. Competing in Freestyle Skiing Halfpipe: Yea at times we've definitely had our arguments at the top of the half pipe before we drop in but I guess at the end of the day you can't fire your dad. You can fire a coach but you can't fire your dad so that's a good way to look at it. \n\n -----END-----CNN.SCRIPT-----\n\n --KEYWORD TAGS--\nSPORTS ASIA PACIFIC OLYMPICS\n\n
