When I'm on planes, I'd talk to people and I'd tell them I compete in the X Games. Some would know what it was, but maybe half didn't. But everyone knows about the Olympics. They're really like the X Games for the world!

I've had dreams about tricks.

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

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.

Surfers have the most attitude.

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