kids men thinking
United [Airlines] sucks, man. I've got like a million miles and they never bump me to first class because they think I'm just a kid and give the seat to some schmoozy guy in a business suit.

When kids come up to me and say. 'I want to be like you,' it fires me up. It's pretty cool.

Games have always a big part of my life. I was that kid freaking out over his new Nintendo.

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.

I was out at the Y a couple days ago and I was just dedicated to learning that trick.

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.
