I Love The Fact That There Is

Skateistan's Not Just About Skating. It’s Giving People Life Skills And Hope For The Future.

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 Won't Quit Skating Until I Am Physically Unable.

I Think That The Board Is A Lot More Intuitive Than People Assume. You Get On It And All You Have To Do Is Put One Foot On The Tail And One Foot On The Nose And Rock It Up And Down And That Will Get You Into The Tricks Or Wheelies Or Manuals. It's Not About The Balance So Much As It Is About The Timing.

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.
