It's a pretty crazy adrenaline rush because I feel like every run is different. You can never really expect anything. It's like a new adventure every time you drop into the pipe.

Before I drop in, I tend to knock on my snowboard. You know how when you jinx yourself, they're like, 'Knock on wood.' My snowboard's wood, so in case I jinxed myself sometime in the past, I just knock on my board. It just makes me feel a lot more comfortable.

I think the goal is always to be both. I put more effort into the technical side of my riding, but style is very important nowadays.

My dad gave up his job; he stopped working - for me. Without that, I definitely wouldn't be as successful.

As a player, I had no idea whatsoever about getting a team ready for a game, what it entails.

I know if you get mad, and in a world with all the competitors I've been around in my life, either from fighting or wrestling or other sports, you have to learn to breathe.

I always said I wanted an Olympic medal. It's the pinnacle of any athlete's career.

With tennis, if you're very good at a young age, you don't even go to your prom. You're down at some tennis academy in Florida where you're on the court 8 hours a day. It's brutal.
