Q&A with Marcus Brown
MB: Hey Nick, since you last visited us at H.O HQ in Redmond a few months ago, you've represented us in various parts of the world, the U.S, Indonesia and of course Australia. It sounds like now it's only going to get busier. Are you excited for the next Northern Hemisphere Summer?
NA: Absolutely mate. It has been a crazy Australian Summer so far, and I'm looking forward to getting back to Florida to train and ski in a few more of the bigger comps.

MB: Sounds great. Sorry to go all deep on you so quick but...Why do you ski?
NA: There is no other thing in the world that makes me concentrate so much, make me feel so good, make me feel so bad, that I love as much, makes me want to work so hard - but I guess the main reason is that no matter what else is happening on land, no matter what, when I hit the water, it all fades away and I can just, ski. Amazing. I just love doing it.

MB: Where is water skiing in 5 years?
NA: Hopefully in full swing and being promoted to a much wider scope of the world. I do think it is on the rise again in terms of marketing success and we all have a role to play in helping promote skiing. I also would like to think in 5 years it will be closer to being an Olympic Sport.

MB: Whats in your refrigerator right now?
NA: Bagels (yes I keep them in the fridge. What?), VEGEMITE, Arizone Green Tea, this really good Greek Yogurt, Pink Lady Apples, Blueberries....

MB: Oh Vegemite, we've heard about that stuff. Crazy Australian.

MB: If you could trade places with any other person for a week, famous or not famous, living or dead, real/fictional, with whom would it be??
NA: Umm, I'm going to have to go with Vinny Chase.

MB: Entourage Fan. Nice.

MB: If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?
NA: I'm going with Casey Affleck or Josh Holloway.
