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.

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

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

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

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 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.
