“I have so much love for Japan! I grew up here. I’m half-Japanese. I spend a lot of time here. My favorite food is here. I love the skateboarding and surfing culture here. So, I’m super excited to be back at X Games and have my friends here in Chiba, skating in front of the crowd and putting on a good show for everyone.”

“X Games is a very important contest. The most important contest. I mean, the Olympics was big, and now having been there it was a much bigger deal than I’d imagined; I don’t want to downplay it. But skateboarding is not just a once-every-four-years spectacle. There’s a lot of other awesome stuff that happens in skateboarding. To me, X Games is as awesome as it gets.”
