My friends ask me why I still live with my family, but I feel comfortable there. We've all been through so much together.

If you think I've got a lot of sponsors, you should see the stuff I turn down.

It was hard to find a board my size. I was tiny.

Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

When I went pro at 13, I had plenty of sponsors that give me endorsement deals and stuff like that.

I knew there was a certain level that I could get to within the sporting world. But as I continued with my career, not only did I grow, but the sport grew. All of a sudden, all of these doors opened to me. It's been amazing. I guess I was born at the right time.

You have to be prepared to take a spill.
