I Played Team Sports, But I Never

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

I Never Imagined Getting To Do What I Love For A Living And Having So Many People Appreciate It. There Was Only One Other Skater In My High School And We Were The Lowest Form Of Cool. Our Classmates Couldn't Figure Out Why We Liked Such A Loser Sport, Or Why We Hadn't Grown Out Of It Yet.

I Feel Like Skateboarding Is As Much Of A Sport As A Lifestyle, And An Art Form, So There's So Much That That Transcends In Terms Of Music, Fashion, And Entertainment.

I Think Skateboarding Is Hugely Challenging - It Teaches You Self-confidence, It Teaches You Self-motivation, And It Can Be Something That Helps You Throughout Your Life.

I Love The Fact That There Is Now A Skate Park In Almost Every City, But It Will Always Have A Rebellious/underground Edge To It Because It Is Based On Individuality.
