My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous.

I'm on the road a lot so when I get some time to relax I definitely take advantage.

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

If you eat the same cereal every day it's gonna get old. And if I had thought about snowboarding every day, I would have quit a long time ago.

I didn't want to make a game unless I felt in the position to make something new and different.

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.

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