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

It's hard to just kinda get some privacy and do your own thing.

Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things.

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.

The Olympics are kind of weird. You have to be on a team. That's cool if you're a skier. But in snowboarding, you just want to be your own person.

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

I’m a big fan of doing what you are really bad at. A lot.
