I'm proud that I was able to use my recognition to, maybe, raise the awareness of skateboarding and help grow it, and to help fund public skateparks. That's the legacy, just trying to grow the entire sport.

I think skateboarding is hugely challenging - it teaches you self-confidence, it teaches you self-motivation, and it can be something that helps you throughout your life.

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

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.

You might not make it to the top, but if you are doing what you love, there is much more happiness there than being rich or famous.

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.
