I have been so inspired by the Special Olympics athletes that I have been so fortunate to meet, and I am excited to continue my involvement in the Special Olympics Movement.

Action sports is just in a new era: thinking outside the box, being creative, and inventing new things. I just think people dig that. It's a new way of being an athlete.

The concept of bettering yourself at the disadvantage of others is out the door, and the new one is to help one another while helping yourself.

When the Olympics comes around, it seems like every country is against each other, but we're all buddies out here. It's about giving feedback to fellow riders and letting the riders feed off each other.

Fourth is the worst position to finish. You just missed the podium.

I'm moving into a yurt in the woods near my parents' home in Vermont.

I made a pact with myself when I was younger that if were to ever grow up to be someone, I would be someone who would make a difference, instead of being just another person on the planet who doesn't look into anything.

My plant-based diet has opened up more doors to being an athlete. It's a whole other level that I'm elevating to.

I'd just like to see athletes awake. And aware. There's so much going on and so much to know... We stay in our little boxes and don't think much about the outside world.

I'm OK with people being naked. There shouldn't be a huge deal made about it.

Guys with bigger boobs than I have walk around, and they're fine. If women were to do that, they could go to jail. That's totally wrong.

I've been to three Olympics, and they're cool and everything, but I feel like people just aren't grateful for what we have and the opportunities we have.
