When I came back to skating, everyone was like 'Oh you're the snowboard guy.'

I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board.

Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

If you skate with an Olympic level skater, they make you so much better because you're skating behind them, and you're trying to imitate their stride and their stance. It's like having the world's greatest training wheels.

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.

Snowboarding is an activity that is very popular with people who do not feel that regular skiing is lethal enough.

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.

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.

I've seen kids turn their lives around. It's usually a kid who's outside of the team-sport world, or maybe has a darker personality or doesn't fit in. Skateboarding ends up being something they latch onto. It sounds hokey, but finding a focus on something - whether it's skateboard or playing your guitar - can be life changing.

Skateboarding was everything to us growing up. It changes the way you see the world: you spend all day looking for ditches.
