The Biggest Lesson I Learned From My

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.

All I Care About Is That People Remember Me As A Good Skater, As Someone Who Was Innovative.

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.

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.
