I was free when I was 12 because I got my first skateboard. I've been free ever since.
I think fans can tell if you just slap a skateboarder on a game - you can't fool kids.
My whole body is a wreck. I've injured myself so many times with jujitsu, skateboarding, football. I guess I like to live hard.
Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things.
Skateboarding was the only thing I was ever good at. Growing up, I was doing that from, like, dusk till dawn.

Skateboarding was everything to us growing up. It changes the way you see the world: you spend all day looking for ditches.
Skateboarding has taught me two things - that symbolise a meaning of life. How to keep a balance and how to pick yourself up when you've fallen.
