work-out active
The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often.
cutting hair-up half
There's not really anywhere I can go without being recognized, but if I put my hair up, that cuts the crowd in half.
dad littles faces
My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.
games people half
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!
mind skateboarding way
Skateboarding is a way to let your body control the mind.
air judging rooms
There's always room for improvement, but the judges are looking for big airs and stylish tricks.
giving stuff endorsements
When I went pro at 13, I had plenty of sponsors that give me endorsement deals and stuff like that.
competition heavy-things turns
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.
sports play guy
I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
dream tricks
I've had dreams about tricks.
cereal snowboarding long
If you eat the same cereal every day it's gonna get old. And if I had thought about snowboarding every day, I would have quit a long time ago.
bows annoying i-am-pretty
I am pretty bow-legged. It's annoying.
summer winter trying
I'd love to try and get a summer and winter gold medal-that would be amazing.
thinking stuff sponsors
If you think I've got a lot of sponsors, you should see the stuff I turn down.
