stairs skates i-can
I trip walking down the stairs, but I can skate them probably.
grateful honestly feels
Honestly, I feel really grateful for everything.
wall thinking feet
When you think about it, we're strapping strange planks of wood to our feet and launching off of giant snow walls. It's pretty intense.
gold firsts medal
I don't know where my first gold medal is.
kids thinking games
I think fans can tell if you just slap a skateboarder on a game - you can't fool kids.
personality actors tvs
Meeting actors and TV personalities is one thing, but I just feel like meeting musicians is the coolest.
work-out active
The boarding I do is pretty strenuous and because I'm so active I really don't have to work out too often.
mom dad cities
My mom was a waitress, and my dad was a plumber who worked for the City of San Clemente fixing mains breaks, so not too glamorous.
work-out sticks nails
If you do a trick and it doesn't work out, that can stick with you. I like to go back, nail the trick, and, 'OK, I'm cool, it's all good.'
honor proud olympics
I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
rooms flip different
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.
dad littles faces
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.
olympics matter individual
You show up at the Olympics, and you're no longer you; you're an American Olympian. You're part of this greater whole, and the individual doesn't matter.
mind skateboarding way
Skateboarding is a way to let your body control the mind.
