Skateistan's Not Just About Skating. It’s Giving

If You Look At The Success Of Snowboarding In The Winter Games And How That's Brought A More Youthful Edge To The Olympics In General, They Don't Have That With The Summer Games. They Don't Have Anything That's Drawing In A Younger Viewership. To Be Honest, I Think They Need Skateboarding More Than We Need Them. Skateboarding's Popularity Is Solidified For The Most Part In A Lot Of Countries.

I Wanted To Promote Skateboarding As Much As Possible Through Different Media.

In Ramp Skating, Theres This Guy Alex Perelson Whos Really Coming Into His Own And Doing Some Amazing New Stuff We Havent Seen Before. Just Different Types Of Spin.

I Love Snowboarding, But I Would Never Want To Do It Competitively Or At A Professional Level. Snowboarding Is A Spawn Of Skating, And Skating Is My Passion.

There Were So Many Things Associated With It In Terms Of Music And Fashion, And A Different Way Of Thinking That, For Me, Skateboarding Represented So Much Of What I Wanted To Do With My Life At An Early Age.
