Script:

SOUNDBITE (English) Alex Pastor, 2013 Freestyle World Champion:
"Yeah, I just heard that I beat Marc Jacobs (New Zealand) so... I'm the 2013 World Champion. Yeah, super stoked. It's been my dream for the last three years and now I've finally got it. I couldn't be happier now."

SOUNDBITE (English) Christopher Tack, men's freestyle winner:
"I just won the event here in Pingtan in China and and I'm really, really stoked. It's my first PKRA win in freestyle and I'm really happy, I can't really believe it and I hope there will be many more."

SOUNDBITE (English) Gisela Pulido, women's freestyle winner:
"Yeah, super stoked, I won the competition here in Pingtan. It really means a lot because for the world rankings it's really important to be in the lead and also I had to go twice against Karolina (Karolina Winkowska of Poland, the 2012 world champion) and I won twice, so that really means a lot. She rides really good and although it was super close, in the end I got a first place and I'm really happy and now looking forward to the next event in Hainan."

SOUNDBITE (English) Bryan Lake, men's slalom winner:
"Oh guys. I'm so stoked, it's the fourth slalom world cup (event) I've ever won, and it keeps adding up and to win the event here in Pingtan, it means a lot to me. It's been a long year and I've travelled a long way to come here and I'm pumped."
