Whenever I do a deal I always have the right of approval.
I've got to stand up for the sport.
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'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'
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.
I can't stay away from Chinese food. I really love that stuff.
You have to be prepared to take a spill.
Cement doesn't give as much as snow.
