Skateboarding was the only thing I was ever good at. Growing up, I was doing that from, like, dusk till dawn.

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

My whole life has been the skate life. I don't really remember doing anything besides skateboarding.

Actually, I've always wanted to be a professional skateboarder ever since I was about six.

Life is a lot like skateboarding.

Skateboarding has given me everything I have and created who I am.

For me, skateboarding is a lifestyle. I really don't know anything different. My life revolves around skating. If I wasn't a professional skateboarder, I'd still be skating every day.

I grew up skateboarding; it was fun. I didn't think about money, I didn't know how much professional skateboarders made. I just knew that if I became a professional skateboarder, I would achieve a lot and get to travel and do these great things.

Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.

I started skating when I was six years old.
