I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever.

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.

I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board.

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

Having the balance to be able to stay on the board in skating and surfing gives you all-around much better balance.

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

I was knocked out by a skateboarder when I was 11.
