I grew up skateboarding, but I don't even do that anymore.

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.

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

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

I started skating when I was six years old.

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.

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.

When I was a kid, everywhere I went people said I should be a model, but I was more into skateboarding.

I wanted to be looked at for the skateboarder that I was. I didn't want to be the 36-year-old skateboarder who's still holding on while owning a company at the same time. I wanted to make my mark and travel and accomplish a few things here and there and then get out.
