I'm really inspired by my friends. I'm psyched to ride with them, usually, and they're really fun to hang out with.

I was surprised to make it even to the finals of the Olympics, and to get first is above me. I don't even know what's going on, to be honest.
I try to have as much fun as I can, and I travel around the world doing what I love.
I try not to think too far into the future; I'm kind of a day-by-day kind of guy.
I kind of just treat every contest like a normal day.
I'm excited to join the Mountain Dew snowboarding team.
I'm part of a really big family.
I'm not used to waking up early at all.
The practices are what I live for. They're so much fun, I think, just because there's not too much pressure. You're really pushing your friends to do the best run and put together the best run, and you're also just having a good time.
As long as I land my run, I'm pretty happy with myself.
I never really wanted Big Air to be in the Olympics.
I kind of grew up just watching Dew Tour and X-Games.
We'd go to the crappiest mountain because they had the cheapest lift tickets.
I remember, when we moved out to Colorado, I was struggling. The mountains were so big, and I wasn't really prepared or used to it all.
It's super cool becoming friends with people from other countries because you can get their Snapchat and talk to them.
I have the same attitude going into every contest. It's all the same.
It's so hard to look at someone doing a triple cork when you're 7 years old, and them saying, 'I want to go do that.' It's not really relatable at all. So, if I can somehow make it so kids want to get into snowboarding, that's special.
I won the Olympics. This is a dream, dude.
I don't have many 'I wish I could.' I live a pretty good life. I'm pretty psyched on my life.
