Being different is awesome! All of those who are different are more interesting than those who are clamoring for acceptance because they follow the path.

The best advice I can give is to believe in yourself and to create new challenges no matter how far you get. Even if you think you earned it all or if you're considered the best in the world, keep challenging yourself because you're only as good as your last trick in the public's eye. But only do it because you love it. Don't do it because you think it's your ticket to fame or fortune. If that's the motivation and you reach any of those goals, you're not going to keep that passion.

I wanted to promote skateboarding as much as possible through different media.

Most of my friends are skaters or were skaters at one time, so they obviously relate.

I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization.

Most snarky critics had their minds set before ever seeing/playing the game. I'm proud of what we created; it's innovative, responsive & fun.

Skateistan's not just about skating. It’s giving people life skills and hope for the future.
