Don't ever give up. You gotta keep trying, and never give up.

I kind of just put my boards together wherever I feel comfortable that day. It could be on the kitchen table, on the ground, on the couch, wherever.

I live to ride, and ride to live.

I shave my body probably once a week, maybe twice a week on the arms, just to keep it fresh.

For me, skateboarding is a lifestyle. I really don't know anything different. My life revolves around skating. If I wasn't a professional skateboarder, I'd still be skating every day.

Sometimes it gets a little hectic on trips because we're skating all day long, and all you want to do is eat dinner and go to sleep. So sometimes it gets a little long for my liking, but the second I get home, it's straight to the shower to fix it all up, and we're good to go.

I won the first contest I ever entered, when I was 6.
