strange
What a strange bunch. Where would one find a Fabio cutout?
showing since
This was it: Before the X-Games, before the Olympics, this was the event. I've been showing up here since I was 7 years old.
exactly fresh fun learn mountain people ride training tricks
It's kind of like a training ground, ... But I just have so much fun here. I can come here to learn new tricks during my summer, and I don't need a whole mountain for that. It's tight, fresh and new. This is the first place in the world to give the people who ride here exactly what they want.
definitely nice run
It's definitely the run I've been working on for a while. It was nice to see it work.
barely best came definitely happened knew run
It's definitely one of the best things that's ever happened to my career. I came out here. I barely made it into finals. After that, I knew I could just do the best run I had planned.
attitude awesome crazy head land mellow messed olympics telling wait
It's crazy because this whole thing to the Olympics has really messed my head up because everybody's telling me how important the Olympics are. And I was like, 'whatever, just do well and go to the Olympics.' Just that having that kind of mellow attitude made me land everything. It was really soothing. I just can't wait for the Olympics now. It's been an awesome season.
amazing attention bring compete competition games half knows maybe people talk
It was amazing to me that one competition could bring so much attention to 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!
fight since
I've just had this fight since I can't even remember.
four madness might next three
It's going to be madness next year. Honestly, it might come down to four 1080s, or three 1080s and a 1240. I don't know; I might not come next year.
good next
The U.S. has so many good snowboarders. Hopefully, we will be back next time.
badly good great means riding
What's really good is I'm riding really badly today. It's actually great because when I have a bad day it means I'm going to have a good day tomorrow.
mom snapped
This mom snapped on me. She said, 'You get out there, and you score!' And I was just like, 'Whoa!' When someone else's mom yells at you, it's pretty intimidating.
gold medal
Any medal would be good. A big gold one even better.
drink might party
I think it's going to be a kind of a party night. I'm not much of a drinker, but I think I might be old enough to drink in Italy.
