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.
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.
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.
gold knew
I didn't know if I would get the gold, I just knew I wanted it.
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.
amazing flag olympics wear
I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
I just want to get better and better and I've been working on some new stuff.
fight since
I've just had this fight since I can't even remember.
definitely nice run
It's definitely the run I've been working on for a while. It was nice to see it work.
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!
good next
The U.S. has so many good snowboarders. Hopefully, we will be back next time.
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.
