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.
best gold good happy knew year
I didn't know if I would get the gold, I just knew I wanted it. This is the best year of my life, I'm so happy my whole family's here. I know I won't have this again. It's amazing, everybody's having such a good time.
came deep dug family gold good hold trying win
I'm trying to hold it. It's just my whole family is here. We all came out to Italy. I'm just having a good time, I wanted to win the gold so bad, and I just kind of dug deep and made it happen.
bring good liking luck olympics
I'm liking it here. Let's bring the Olympics to Vail. This place is good luck for me.
bag definitely sleeve stuff
I've still got some stuff up my sleeve for the Games. I don't want to let it out of the bag right now, but I definitely have something planned.
best bit break contest matter olympics riding run time
To me, it's about getting better every time and doing the best I can every run no matter where I am. The Olympics are going to be huge, but I don't think the Olympics are going to make or break any rider. At the end of the day, it's just another contest with just a little bit more riding on it.
couple days dedicated learning
I was out at the Y a couple days ago and I was just dedicated to learning that trick.
figure fun skateboard street
You just get your skateboard and you go out in the street and you figure it out and you have fun with your friends.
drop
Well, I just started to have some fun. Normally, I drop in and do another (move), but then I thought, 'This is the Olympics, I'll try some sprays.
crazy sweep
I think it will get pretty crazy if the Americans sweep again.
cursed event finals hurt knee last nervous overcome time win
I don't even think I've made the finals in the U.S. Open. It's just been a cursed event for me. I didn't really want to come. I was nervous because last time I hurt my knee when I was here. ... To overcome all that, and to actually win it, it's insane.
barely came care contests fell hanging happen hit knew nervous practiced run seems together
I was so stoked I got it out early. I was nervous because I fell on the first hit of my first run, but I didn't care that much because I knew I had a better run in me. I practiced this run before and made it really sketchy. I was barely hanging on, but it just came together for me tonight. It seems to happen in contests for me.
My dad's 56 now and he shreds. He's awesome.
