I Played Team Sports, But

I Started Skateboarding At Around Age 10, And Enjoyed The Artistic Aspect Of It As Much As The Sporting Aspect, So For Me It Was More Of An Art Form And A Lifestyle.

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

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.

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.

You Might Not Make It To The Top, But If You Are Doing What You Love, There Is Much More Happiness There Than Being Rich Or Famous.
