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

I think skateboarding is better now in terms of the amount of facilities and the amount of support young skaters have - including encouragement from their parents. There was definitely an element to it when I was younger that was exclusive and kind of rebellious because most parents didn't want their kids skating. They thought it was a bad influence.

The biggest lesson I learned from my dad is to support children even if they're doing something that is unorthodox.

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.

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.

Big decisions in my life have always come easy and are made without hesitation. It is easier for me to make a life-changing decision than to decide what to get for dessert.

I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion.
