If you go to a building to skate, or if you go to these places to skate, you're told it's against the law in some cities. It's definitely a bummer. It's unfortunate.

I like to stay in the moment.

When the pressure's on, I always seem to go bigger and land everything better.

I get e-mails from mothers asking me to call their daughters for a date. I have a great life.

My dad got me a huge board when I was little. He loves to surf. He suited me up and sent me out on this huge wave. I went under, and when I came out and the board hit me in the face. So I said, I never wanted to do this again. I stayed away until I was 13.

Generally, I'm a pretty mellow guy.

Having the balance to be able to stay on the board in skating and surfing gives you all-around much better balance.
