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.
fun games huge meant monster older olympics rolling understand wear worldwide
Now that I'm older, I really understand how huge the Olympics are. It's just a monster event. ... It's worldwide and it was fun to be a part of it. It meant a lot to me now that I'm older to wear U.S. on my chest. It was heavy. It wasn't like rolling into X Games on my own. I was representing the whole country.

I didn't understand how big a thing the Olympics are until I showed up here.

I'm liking it here. Let's bring the Olympics to Vail. This place is good luck for me.
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.

I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.
olympics matter individual
You show up at the Olympics, and you're no longer you; you're an American Olympian. You're part of this greater whole, and the individual doesn't matter.

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.

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.
