The inclusion of slopestyle in the Olympics is cool. I think it's going to be a total breath of fresh air. The Olympics needs us more than we need it.

Contrary to popular belief, there are actually quite a few guys in the action sports community that have faith and are Christians.

All the exciting contests and travel and sponsorships are cool, but I like to be able to have influence on people and on youngsters.

Most places in the Midwest, you ski on piles of trash, like retired landfills.

I think the Winter Olympics are definitely on a smaller scale than the summer games, but with the inclusion of cool new sports like slopestyle skiing and snowboarding, it is going to breathe new life into them and attract a whole new crowd.

I skied on Astroturf and PVC pipe on the slope in my backyard.

I try to keep a pretty one-tracked mind.
