"It's the first time I've worn a suit in so long, I just went shopping yesterday… So you found me out, I'm frontin'."
-- Mat Hoffman, winner of the Action Sports Achievement Award, on his Hollywood look.

"I think it's great for the sport to see that you can still be Rider of the Year from a video part, and that's kind of taken from skateboarding. I mean what else can you say, Van is awesome."
-- Dave Mirra on Van Homan taking the BMX Rider of the Year Award.

"When I would go to the skatepark as a kid there was punk blaring over the sound system, and that's just what you identified with. Skating is as much of an art form as it is a sport and a lot of skaters are musicians so it's always been hand and hand."
-- Tony Hawk on the connection between action sports and music.

"Well at least everyone appreciates him like I do."
-- Eric Koston, winner of Skateboarder of the Year, on Bob Burnquist winning the People's Choice award for Skateboarding.

"Well when I thought about it, it just made perfect sense."
-- Jim Rippey, winner of the Action Sports Feat of the Year, on how the idea of back flipping his snowmobile came about.

"Watch the show. Buy the shoe. Make money."
-- Jason Dill on Jack Osbourne (Ozzy's son) plugging his new DVS pro model shoe.

"I tried to ride a snowmobile once and I couldn't even ride down the street, much less flip the thing."
-- TJ Lavin, BMX rider and co-host, on the Action Sports Feat of the Year.

"I prefer to walk around in bikinis and board shorts."
-- Layne Beachley, last years Female Surfer of the Year winner, on being dressed up for the event.

"I'm really excited about the Whitney Houston Lifetime achievement award, that is tonight right?"
-- Dave Novarro's thoughts on the event.

"I'm a little curious to see how it's all gonna pan out. I mean the Green Carpet, as you can imagine, is a little odd for these skateboarding events."
-- Rob Dyrdek on the Green Carpet.

"Well, there's a lot of Mowhawks here. If I would have known maybe I would have worn a Mowhawk."
-- Malia Jones, presenter of the Women's Surfer of the Year Award, on the Green Carpet scene.

"Yeah, I played volleyball in college for 11 years."
-- "Scorpion King" actress Summer Altice after being asked if she knows anything about action sports.

"The green is for extreme. Extreme Green."
-- Pro Skateboarder/Actor Steve Berra on the carpet color.

"I'm very excited actually because pretty much everybody that I look up to and admire out of the ski industry is basically here, and we're in LA the land of the beautiful women and sunshine... So it's perfect."
-- Tanner Hall, Skier of the Year People's Choice winner, with his thoughts on being at the show.
