I'm proud of the U.S.A. We've done some amazing things. To wear our flag in the Olympics is an honor. ↗

If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog. ↗

When I'm on planes, I'd talk to people and I'd tell them I compete in the X Games. Some would know what it was, but maybe half didn't. But everyone knows about the Olympics. They're really like the X Games for the world! ↗

I've put myself forward to be involved. Whether I get picked, we'll have to wait and see. Obviously everybody is excited about it, about the Olympics coming to London and the football being played in different parts of Britain. ↗

The Olympics is about letting people believe in their own dreams. ↗

Part of what Special Olympics is trying to do is break down stereotypes that still exist for people. There is still a lot of fear. ↗
