Scotty James has his fitness center bag prepared to carry X Video games gold

Scotty James is no senior statesman at 28, but typically athletes in his field are preparing things for their retirement. James made his Olympic debut at just 15, becoming the youngest Australian to compete in the Winter Games.

Since that time he has dominated the halfpipe for almost a decade and has the hardware and accolades to boot: two-time Olympic medalist, seven-time X-Games medalist, three-time world champion and US Open winner.

Thanks in large part to James' early focus on training, recovery and nutrition, he is still able to outperform his younger rivals. And an imminent slowdown is out of the question. Before he competes on ESPN on Friday night's X Games Aspen SuperPipe, James spoke to M&F about some of his necessities for both competing and training - and surviving on fresh fruit.
