I live to ride, and ride to live.

I run a lot. I do a lot of yoga. Hot yoga. Which is random and sounds lame, but it has definitely made my flexibility and balance 100 percent better on my skateboard. I do that and a lot of plyometric, biometrics, and surf. I train every other day of the week and skate for an hour everyday.

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.

Hopefully, kids realize you can do anything you want. Skateboarding can be that gateway.

Definitely before hanging out with a chick, I make sure everything is to my liking.

Every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it's motivation.

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.
