Hey, Mischa here. I’m here with Jake Taylor from The Perfect Blindside by Leslea Wahl. Jake has some amazing moves. I’m hoping after we’re done he’ll show me a few.<\/p>\n

[Mischa] Tell me a little about yourself.<\/p>\n

[Jake] Hey, my name\u2019s Jake Taylor. You\u2019ve probably heard of me, my story\u2019s been plastered all over the news. The short version is I\u2019m a snowboarder who recently won a silver medal on the halfpipe. My life went from ordinary to insane when I unexpectedly made the Olympic team and suddenly became instantly famous. Then my parents had this brilliant idea to move us to a tiny Colorado mountain town. That\u2019s where I met Sophie and we found ourselves messed up in this mystery.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa] Tell me about where you live? Who do you live with?<\/p>\n

[Jake] Like I said, I live in Silver Springs, Colorado. My parents moved us here from Kansas so I could be closer to the mountains for training. I was hoping they\u2019d pick Vail but instead chose this little nowhere mountain town. I didn\u2019t really want to get involved and meet anyone but somehow it didn\u2019t really work out that way.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa] It’d be amazing to see the mountains, but, in my time, Colorado is part of New Zion. They don’t let in outsiders.<\/p>\n

[Mischa] Okay, next question. What\u2019s the most important thing in your life right now?<\/p>\n

[Jake] Well, for a long time snowboarding was all I was into but after the events of the last few months things changed a bit and I realized that relationships are more important. It\u2019s interesting how sometimes it takes a really traumatic experience to make you see things differently.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa] What\u2019s the worst thing someone ever did to you?<\/p>\n

[Jake] Interesting question. Well, besides the whole insane situation Sophie and I found ourselves in, I\u2019d have to say it was the way a couple friends back in Kansas treated me. Then again, maybe they weren\u2019t all to blame.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa] What type of places do you hang out in?<\/p>\n

[Jake] It\u2019ll probably come as no surprise but being on the halfpipe is my all-time favorite place to be. I love living in the Rocky Mountains and being outside hiking, biking, boarding, and four-wheeling.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa] What annoys you more than anything?<\/p>\n

[Jake] That\u2019s easy \u2013 reporters. No offense, but I usually hear the same questions all the time and repeating the same answers over and over gets on my nerves. But I actually like your questions they\u2019re not the usual boring ones I often get. So, nice job.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa What\u2019s the most beautiful thing you\u2019ve ever seen?<\/p>\n

[Jake] There\u2019s nothing prettier than the Rocky Mountains covered in a blanket of snow when the sun starts to rise, making the snow sparkle. Hmm, either that or Sophie.<\/strong><\/p>\n

[Mischa] Last question and then we’re out of here. Who would play you in the movie?<\/p>\n

[Jake]\u00a0Wade Poezyn, I guess. Sophie says he looks just like me.<\/strong><\/p>\n
