If you go to a building to skate, or if you go to these places to skate, you're told it's against the law in some cities. It's definitely a bummer. It's unfortunate.

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.

I've reached my goal with snowboarding.

You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy.

It's a pretty heavy thing that happens to me when I'm at competitions. I get so sucked in, I can't really turn it off.

Ask anyone who knows me - I am constantly moving things around in my place.

I've always been under the impression that it would be such a bummer to be in a peaceful place like Hawaii or the tropics and be stressed about catching waves.

When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'

I think fans can tell if you just slap a skateboarder on a game - you can't fool kids.

I wasn't your average kid. I was signing autographs in Japan at 12.

I like that you can easily flip the sheets over and have a different feel or vibe in your room. You don't have to go get a whole brand-new set of sheets.

I didn't want to make a game unless I felt in the position to make something new and different.
