You probably didn’t know Cody is bilingual. Azulito means Little Blue in Spanish. (He also has a vivid imagination.)

His truck is pretty much rigged out for the Baja 1000. And the interior deck, drawer, and magician-inspired trap doors were designed and built by him.

If you are at all jealous of Tom Brady, this episode may push you over the edge regarding Cody. He lives a dream life. His wife is drop-dead gorgeous and a kick-ass skier. And he can do manly things like build shit.

Episode includes a cameo appearance by Jimmy Chin—who plays himself—and rare footage of Bjarne Salén sans goggles and helmet.
