I just want to be the guy that inspires other kids to come do what I'm doing.

I think the way to become the best is to just have fun.

Every time I've had a bad performance at an event, I've come back more determined and focused.

You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy.

Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

I can't really describe a trick as much as I just feel it.

I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding.
