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

You show up at the Olympics, and you're no longer you; you're an American Olympian. You're part of this greater whole, and the individual doesn't matter.

I can kind of picture what I want to do and my body just does it. You feel your way through a trick. I close my eyes sometimes.

I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.

I guess I'm an athlete now. I gotta start going to the gym.

What does it mean to be a snowboarder? It's about having fun, with your friends or by yourself. It's about pushing yourself to try new things and do the unexpected. Finally, and most importantly, it's about being creative.

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