definitely nice run
It's definitely the run I've been working on for a while. It was nice to see it work.
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.
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.
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.
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.
crazy sweep
I think it will get pretty crazy if the Americans sweep again.
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.
four madness might next three
It's going to be madness next year. Honestly, it might come down to four 1080s, or three 1080s and a 1240. I don't know; I might not come next year.
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.
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.
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!
