I Played Team Sports, But I Never

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 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.

For Those That Say I Endanger My Child: It's More Likely That You Will Fall While Walking On The Sidewalk Than I Will While Skating With My Daughter.

I Wanted To Promote Skateboarding As Much As Possible Through Different Media.
