We didn't call it a sport necessarily, and skaters definitely weren't thought of as athletes, we were thought of as misfits.
Mike VallelyKids 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.
