Kids at skate parks will step up and challenge me to a game of Skate, but I'm over that, I really don't care. I'm all about participating, and I'm all about being a part of this scene, but there's certain vibes I just don't get along with.

I don't talk down to kids. Usually someone my age who's talking to a ten or twelve year old is yelling at them.

If someone told me I had to give back, or I'm supposed to give back, or I'm supposed to do these things, I would reject that. My actions are those of valuing and caring.

I strive to do my best every single time and I think that's something the skate community knows about me and appreciates.

I understand that these people are all there to see me ride, that that's why they're in the building, and whether I have ten people, or a thousand people come out to see me, they still came out to see me, and I take that to heart.

I always try to individualize everything, every person. I see individuals and that's why I've never fallen for racism, or any type or classification of people.

I'm not going to beat somebody up for talking smack to me, especially another skater.
