For me, the Olympics was part of being something much bigger than snowboard. I had an awesome time ... I am a huge believer in the journey versus the destination.
My first two Olympics were just really devastating. I was so devastated after Salt Lake I thought my life was going to end. It was one of those life lessons ... realizing that life's a lot bigger than this five-ring circus.
This Olympics was about being part of something much bigger than snowboarding. There isn't a writer in the world who can describe the opening ceremonies.
