When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up.

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

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.

When you think about it, we're strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It's pretty intense.

I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.

I was sponsored when I was about seven by Burton Snowboards.

I've had dreams about tricks.
