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.

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.

Everything that I'm really about is being an individualist. I believe in individuality.

I feel like the best thing, as far as what I do with kids, is I treat them like human beings.

I grew up on the Bones Brigade as well. The very first skateboard video I saw was the Bones Brigade Video Show and I'd always valued the Bones Brigade and Powell Peralta as the ultimate in skateboarding.

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 see masses, I don't see it like, oh there's hundreds of people here and I'm overwhelmed. I just try to think, well I could be a kid in that crowd, or my daughters could be in that crowd, and no one wants to feel like they're just part of the masses.
