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 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.

I get e-mails from mothers asking me to call their daughters for a date. I have a great life.

You take a crash, you get back up and next time you succeed and that's a great feeling.

When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'

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.

My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.
