I jumped between two seven-story buildings in Los Angeles, launching from one rooftop to the other with ramps.

When I landed the first 900 at the XGames, it was just - it was a personal achievement. It was something that I have strived for for years and years and years, and in a lot of ways had given up on it. But I just didn't think of the resonance that would have.

I believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large.

I changed high schools three times because my parents moved. I had one friend my freshman year named Miki Vukovich. Miki and I were the only skaters in our high school. He runs my foundation now.

I'm very aware of how quickly my career could end.

You get an image in the first couple of years of your career, and then whether you like it or not, you are stuck with it for the rest of your life.

Remember that your reputation is everything. You build your personal brand through everything you do, whether big actions or small decisions, and that brand will stay with you throughout your career.

I married my best friend. I was still in awe after more than four years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and caring she was. And I really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret.
