I Believe That People Should Take Pride

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

I Played Team Sports, But I Never Felt Like I Fitted In That Well, So This Allowed Me To Be Part Of A Community But To Do It In My Own Way.

I Consider Skateboarding An Art Form, A Lifestyle And A Sport. 'action Sport' Would Be The Least Offensive Categorization.

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

I Think Skateboarding Is Better Now In Terms Of The Amount Of Facilities And The Amount Of Support Young Skaters Have - Including Encouragement From Their Parents. There Was Definitely An Element To It When I Was Younger That Was Exclusive And Kind Of Rebellious Because Most Parents Didn't Want Their Kids Skating. They Thought It Was A Bad Influence.
