travel crazy home
Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.
boards
Boards and myself get along somehow.
shirts new-music
Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.
airports spots walks
I am a pretty recognizable, like, I walk through the airport or something, you are going to spot me right away.
way rooms homework
I couldn't do my homework if my room wasn't clean. And it has carried on now that I am older, in a very freakish way.
kids japan average
I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.
kids thinking games
I think fans can tell if you just slap a skateboarder on a game - you can't fool kids.
soccer dad yelling
We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.
family together ask-me
My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.
math games work-out
You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy.
fun thinking training
Skateboarding is training, but I don't think of it as training. It's fun.
wall thinking feet
When you think about it, we're strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It's pretty intense.
funny jeans black
I wear black skinny-fit jeans - I can't get away from them. It's funny because I wore baggy jeans for ages, then one day my friend convinced me to try on a skinny pair and I thought they were great.
using-your-brain games skills
There are plenty of skills I've learned from playing video games. It's more interactive than watching TV, because there are problems to solve as you're using your brain.
