I Played Team Sports, But I Never

I Think That The Board Is A Lot More Intuitive Than People Assume. You Get On It And All You Have To Do Is Put One Foot On The Tail And One Foot On The Nose And Rock It Up And Down And That Will Get You Into The Tricks Or Wheelies Or Manuals. It's Not About The Balance So Much As It Is About The Timing.

I Consider Skateboarding An Art Form, A Lifestyle And A Sport. 'action Sport' Would Be The Least Offensive Categorization.

There Were So Many Things Associated With It In Terms Of Music And Fashion, And A Different Way Of Thinking That, For Me, Skateboarding Represented So Much Of What I Wanted To Do With My Life At An Early Age.

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.

The Biggest Lesson I Learned From My Dad Is To Support Children Even If They're Doing Something That Is Unorthodox.
