I Consider Skateboarding An Art Form, A

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.

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.

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

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 Won't Quit Skating Until I Am Physically Unable.
