(NEXSTAR) - Sometimes you end up in the right place at the right time. For David Wise, the right time was making his X Games debut as a halfpipe skier in the summer of 2011, the same year it was announced that halfpipe skiing would become an Olympic event at the 2014 Games in Sochi. "I never had the intention of having a long career in halfpipe, I just wanted to have a career," shared Wise. "I wanted to be a professional skier. That was my dream from age 15 on." Wise would go on to win gold at the 2014 Games in Sochi and the 2018 Games in PyeongChang, and then silver at the 2022 Games in Beijing. With all that success, Wise decided the best thing to do with it was to share it. "We've partnered with various nonprofits over the years and given 10 percent of my winnings to these organizations that we thought were doing good things." Wise calls it his "Podium Challenge." Every time he makes the podium and receives a medal, he donates 10 percent of his winnings to any of a variety of charities, including Feeding America, Food Bank of Northern Nevada, The Empowerment Center, and many more. One group that Wise holds a bit closer to his heart is One Leg Up on Life, a foundation started by his sister, Christy Wise, an Air Force captain who lost her leg in a boating accident back in 2015. As a father of two now, family means everything to Wise, as they continue to motivate him to compete. "When I won gold in 2018, both kids got to have this epic moment...and my wife...to stand on the podium with me. That, to me, is still the highlight of my career." While his family's been there for his biggest moments, they've also been there for his lowest moments, including a broken femur and a torn ACL. Along with the support of his family, one man in particular helped him immensely through his injuries, Max McManus. McManus has been by Wise's side for over 20 years as his trainer. "It's impossible for me to know at 13 that he's gonna become, 10 years later, a two-time Olympic gold medalist and a silver medalist," McManus explained."But I knew he was qualified enough." At McManus' gym hang banners of legends like Michael Jordan and Arnold Schwarzenegger. "It was inspirational for me to look at these excellent athletes," said Wise. "I asked Max, 'What's it gonna take for me to get one of them banners?' And he just very plain and simply said, 'You win an Olympic gold medal, I'll make you a banner." Now hanging up along with other legendary athletes is a banner of David Wise. Wise is now working towards competing in what may be his final Olympic Games. He's ready to move on, but having one last chance to share this experience with his family was too hard to pass up.
