Q&A: Bryce Wettstein Is a Free Spirit, Flying High

Meet Bryce Wettstein of Encinitas, Calif., the 17-year-old ukulele-playing, top-ranked park skateboarder who will represent the U.S. in Tokyo.

Sports Illustrated: What’s it like imagining yourself in the Olympics?

Bryce Wettstein: I think of it like a big dream. Since it’s been postponed a year, it seems that much more unreal. It’s one of those things that never kicks in, almost like it’s never digested, ever. Right now, I’m trying to figure out what it is that I really want to aim toward, without trying to overthink it.

SI: Is it fun to think of skateboarding as a competition between countries?
