I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor.
I've always been a guy who wants to play sports, not watch them.
I've had dreams about tricks.
I can't stay away from Chinese food. I really love that stuff.
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 neve...
Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things.
Surfers have the most attitude.
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.
I always tell people that our sports aren't that dangerous.
I think guitar is the best thing in the world.
My dad, he's the rocker.
Getting into music has changed my personality and way of doing things. I'm far more open now.

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.'
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 o...
You know the best thing about competition? There's this whole strategy game, and when it all works out its like solving that hard math equation. You finally get the answer and you're so happy.
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. S...
Everywhere I go I buy new music shirts.
