Having all eyes on me at all times is hard to deal with, but it's great. It feels like you've already accomplished something. It's already predetermined that you're going to do well.

The Olympics is really awesome, but for some snowboarders, it's not the biggest thing in the world.

I like to stay in the moment.

Some people attach snowboards to their feet, very few attach them to their souls.

I was a monster, a problem child.

Games have always a big part of my life. I was that kid freaking out over his new Nintendo.

What does it mean to be a snowboarder? It's about having fun, with your friends or by yourself. It's about pushing yourself to try new things and do the unexpected. Finally, and most importantly, it's about being creative.
