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

I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there's so much that that transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment.

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

I started skateboarding at around age 10, and enjoyed the artistic aspect of it as much as the sporting aspect, so for me it was more of an art form and a lifestyle.

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

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'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.
