I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality.

I played team sports, but I never felt like I fitted in that well, so this allowed me to be part of a community but to do it in my own way.

All I care about is that people remember me as a good skater, as someone who was innovative.

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

The irony about selling out is that they only call you a sell-out when your stuff finally sells - I've had products bearing my name since I was 14, but nobody was buying them then.

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