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

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

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.

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.

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

One of the great things about the X Games and the Olympics is being on the international stage. It gives you a cool opportunity to express, not only your personal style, but also your faith and what you believe in and your values.

I try to keep a pretty one-tracked mind.
