Skateistan's Not Just About Skating.

I Think That The Board Is A Lot More Intuitive Than People Assume. You Get On It And All You Have To Do Is Put One Foot On The Tail And One Foot On The Nose And Rock It Up And Down And That Will Get You Into The Tricks Or Wheelies Or Manuals. It's Not About The Balance So Much As It Is About The Timing.

The Irony About Selling Out Is That They Only Call You A Sell-out When Your Stuff Finally Sells - I've Had Products Bearing My Name Since I Was 14, But Nobody Was Buying Them Then.

For Those That Say I Endanger My Child: It's More Likely That You Will Fall While Walking On The Sidewalk Than I Will While Skating With My Daughter.

The Best Advice I Can Give Is To Believe In Yourself And To Create New Challenges No Matter How Far You Get. Even If You Think You Earned It All Or If You're Considered The Best In The World, Keep Challenging Yourself Because You're Only As Good As Your Last Trick In The Public's Eye. But Only Do It Because You Love It. Don't Do It Because You Think It's Your Ticket To Fame Or Fortune. If That's The Motivation And You Reach Any Of Those Goals, You're Not Going To Keep That Passion.
