sports world olympics
I didn't set out to beat the world; I just set out to do my absolute best.
sports people dangerous
I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.
sports want facts
What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing.
sports thinking dangerous
I don't think the sport is any more dangerous than it's ever been.
sports years snowboarding
On snowboarding as an Olympic sport: Since I was 6 years old I've been in the mix and watching this grow and change. I never would have expected it to go this far.
sports play guy
I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
sports
I've got to stand up for the sport.
sports snowboarding want
I love the sport of snowboarding so much, but I just don't want to talk about it, ever.
sports fun thinking
I think the way to become the best is to just have fun.
sports doors careers
I knew there was a certain level that I could get to within the sporting world. But as I continued with my career, not only did I grow, but the sport grew. All of a sudden, all of these doors opened to me. It's been amazing. I guess I was born at the right time.
sports years goal
If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog.
sports fun mean
What does it mean to be a snowboarder? It's about having fun, with your friends or by yourself. It's about pushing yourself to try new things and do the unexpected. Finally, and most importantly, it's about being creative.
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.
