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

Skateistan's not just about skating. It’s giving people life skills and hope for the future.

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.

My definition of success is doing what you love. I feel many people do things because they feel they have to, and are hesitant to risk following their passion.

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.

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.

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