I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope.

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

I have the most fun snowboarding when it's just me and my brother.

There's not really anywhere I can go without being recognized, but if I put my hair up, that cuts the crowd in half.

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.

It's a pretty heavy thing that happens to me when I'm at competitions. I get so sucked in, I can't really turn it off.

I think the way to become the best is to just have fun.
