amazing flag olympics wear
I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
attitude awesome crazy head land mellow messed olympics telling wait
It's crazy because this whole thing to the Olympics has really messed my head up because everybody's telling me how important the Olympics are. And I was like, 'whatever, just do well and go to the Olympics.' Just that having that kind of mellow attitude made me land everything. It was really soothing. I just can't wait for the Olympics now. It's been an awesome season.
bring good liking luck olympics
I'm liking it here. Let's bring the Olympics to Vail. This place is good luck for me.
olympics understand until
I didn't understand how big a thing the Olympics are until I showed up here.
hate hope lose spinning totally track
Man, I hate that trick. There are times when you're just spinning and you totally lose track of where you are. You don't know where you're going to land. You only hope you're still in the pipe.
barely best came definitely happened knew run
It's definitely one of the best things that's ever happened to my career. I came out here. I barely made it into finals. After that, I knew I could just do the best run I had planned.
exactly fresh fun learn mountain people ride training tricks
It's kind of like a training ground, ... But I just have so much fun here. I can come here to learn new tricks during my summer, and I don't need a whole mountain for that. It's tight, fresh and new. This is the first place in the world to give the people who ride here exactly what they want.
bag definitely sleeve stuff
I've still got some stuff up my sleeve for the Games. I don't want to let it out of the bag right now, but I definitely have something planned.
cursed event finals hurt knee last nervous overcome time win
I don't even think I've made the finals in the U.S. Open. It's just been a cursed event for me. I didn't really want to come. I was nervous because last time I hurt my knee when I was here. ... To overcome all that, and to actually win it, it's insane.
couple days dedicated learning
I was out at the Y a couple days ago and I was just dedicated to learning that trick.
barely came care contests fell hanging happen hit knew nervous practiced run seems together
I was so stoked I got it out early. I was nervous because I fell on the first hit of my first run, but I didn't care that much because I knew I had a better run in me. I practiced this run before and made it really sketchy. I was barely hanging on, but it just came together for me tonight. It seems to happen in contests for me.
gold medal
Any medal would be good. A big gold one even better.
crowd gets music pumps rhythm
Music gets me in the rhythm I want before the run. And the (loudspeaker) music gets the crowd going, and that pumps me up.
four madness might next three
It's going to be madness next year. Honestly, it might come down to four 1080s, or three 1080s and a 1240. I don't know; I might not come next year.
