Even when I'm old and grey I'll probably be cruising around and bunny-hopping and stuff. In the words of the Descendents, "I don't want to grow up."

I just feel like all the things that I do in my life just make me feel like a grown-up kid. That's pretty much what I am.

I usually just wear black so my shoes and my socks are my rays of sunshine.

At an early age I told myself I would never quit skating, I would never quit riding BMX and being a motorcycle junkie. I just can't stop doing those things.

I do what I love for a living, and I also get to build BMX bikes in my spare time.

Immortality is but ubiquity in time.

I learned to smile by going through hell. Now I know what hell is and you don't. I can't tell you how it is, cause you can't do it with words.
