Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.	Home, Travel	103
There are plenty of skills I've learned from playing video games. It's more interactive than watching TV, because there are problems to solve as you're using your brain.		104
Skateboarding is training, but I don't think of it as training. It's fun.		105
We all started snowboarding in the beginning as a family just to be closer together, go on trips. It was our soccer, but instead of Dad yelling at me from the sideline he is there riding with me and hitting the jumps even before I am hitting them.	Dad, Family	106
I can't stay away from Chinese food. I really love that stuff.	Food	107

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.		109

Surfers have the most attitude.	Attitude	119
I know my family and I would always go up to the mountains just for fun. We always skied. Then, all of a sudden, my brother started snow boarding. Older brother thing, I had to do what he was doing. So I started snow boarding.		120
Cement doesn't give as much as snow.		121
The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often.		122
I'm not too big on moisturisers and fancy skin products. I keep my grooming regime nice and simple.		123

I can't really describe a trick as much as I just feel it.		204
I'm really disappointed at every event if I don't do less than what I wanted to do.		205

Ask anyone who knows me - I am constantly moving things around in my place.		409

Trick names are so ridiculous!		413
My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.		414
What drives me now is the fact that I feel like I still have so many tricks that I want to learn and so many things that I can still do. And so many cool things outside of sports that I have been doing.		415
It's hard to just kinda get some privacy and do your own thing.		416
I can kind of picture what I want to do and my body just does it. You feel your way through a trick. I close my eyes sometimes.		417
