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

I believe that people should take pride in what they do, even if it is scorned or misunderstood by the public at large.

I think that the board is a lot more intuitive than people assume. You get on it and all you have to do is put one foot on the tail and one foot on the nose and rock it up and down and that will get you into the tricks or wheelies or manuals. It's not about the balance so much as it is about the timing.

In ramp skating, theres this guy Alex Perelson whos really coming into his own and doing some amazing new stuff we havent seen before. Just different types of spin.

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.

I won't quit skating until I am physically unable.

Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion.
