Generally, I'm a pretty mellow guy.
I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board.
Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.
Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.
You show up at the Olympics, and you're no longer you; you're an American Olympian. You're part of this greater whole, and the individual doesn't matter.
Having all eyes on me at all times is hard to deal with, but it's great. It feels like you've already accomplished something. It's already predetermined that you're going to do well.
I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.
My dad, he's the rocker.
I like that you can easily flip the sheets over and have a different feel or vibe in your room. You don't have to go get a whole brand-new set of sheets.
We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.
If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog.
I trip walking down the stairs, but I can skate them probably.
I think fans can tell if you just slap a skateboarder on a game - you can't fool kids.
I was knocked out by a skateboarder when I was 11.
Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things.
Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.
Skateboarding is training, but I don't think of it as training. It's fun.
If you eat the same cereal every day it's gonna get old. And if I had thought about snowboarding every day, I would have quit a long time ago.
I've reached my goal with snowboarding.
I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever.
