I Started Skateboarding At Around Age 10,

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.

Big Decisions In My Life Have Always Come Easy And Are Made Without Hesitation. It Is Easier For Me To Make A Life-changing Decision Than To Decide What To Get For Dessert.

I Think That There's A Sense Of Self-reliance That Exists In Skateboarding That Kids Can Take To Their Daily Lives. I Think There's Also A Sense Of Creativity And Community-based Goals - In Skating, Even Though It Is An Individual Pursuit, A Lot Of Things That You Learn Are Things That You Borrow And Expand From Other People's Ideas. I Call Skating A Combined Evolution - It's Individual, It's Artistic, But At The Time, There Is A Communal Push To Keep Doing Your Thing. And A Sense Of Camaraderie In That.

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

In Ramp Skating, Theres This Guy Alex Perelson Whos Really Coming Into His Own And Doing Some Amazing New Stuff We Havent Seen Before. Just Different Types Of Spin.
