I Believe That People Should Take Pride

If You Look At The Success Of Snowboarding In The Winter Games And How That's Brought A More Youthful Edge To The Olympics In General, They Don't Have That With The Summer Games. They Don't Have Anything That's Drawing In A Younger Viewership. To Be Honest, I Think They Need Skateboarding More Than We Need Them. Skateboarding's Popularity Is Solidified For The Most Part In A Lot Of Countries.

Skateistan's Not Just About Skating. It’s Giving People Life Skills And Hope For The Future.

The Irony About Selling Out Is That They Only Call You A Sell-out When Your Stuff Finally Sells - I've Had Products Bearing My Name Since I Was 14, But Nobody Was Buying Them Then.

I Believe That People Should Take Pride In What They Do, Even If It Is Scorned Or Misunderstood By The Public At Large.

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.
