I started out making skateboard videos. Soon, it dawned on me I just wasn't that great at skateboarding. So I put down the skateboard and just kept going with the camera.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I was fifteen years old, my dad won a video camera in a corporate golf tournament. I snatched it from his closet and began filming skateboard videos with my friends.
I grew up skateboarding, but I don't even do that anymore.
I spent a lot of years just learning my craft and falling down in front of the camera.
I park two blocks away from Nickelodeon studios and I hop on my skateboard and I skateboard the rest of the way to the studio.
Skateboarding has given me everything I have and created who I am.
I started skating when I was about 10 years old. It was in an alleyway. I picked up my brother's skateboard and stood on it. I started to roll down the alley, and I yelled at my brother asking him how I turn the thing. At the end of the alley, I just jumped off, picked up the board and physically turned it around.
I just skated for the fun of it.
I loved being asked 2,000 questions a day, storyboarding every move, knowing as though by instinct exactly where the camera had to be, because it was my story.
Skateboarding was the only thing I was ever good at. Growing up, I was doing that from, like, dusk till dawn.
My whole life has been the skate life. I don't really remember doing anything besides skateboarding.
