I knew there was a certain level that I could get to within the sporting world. But as I continued with my career, not only did I grow, but the sport grew. All of a sudden, all of these doors opened to me. It's been amazing. I guess I was born at the right time.

Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.

I was told from a very young age that I wasn't gonna be anything. That I wasn't gonna amount to a single thing.

It was hard to find a board my size. I was tiny.

I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.

I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.

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