I just motor through school in the morning and then go skating.

Don't ever give up. You gotta keep trying, and never give up.

Hopefully, kids realize you can do anything you want. Skateboarding can be that gateway.

I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living.

The world is just waiting to be skated.

Whatever sport you choose, do it because you love it, and don't expect to be an expert first thing. It takes time to do well at anything, but if you love it, you'll stick with it.

I am always hurt, but what are you going to do? I have to skate.

I like skateboarding. I'm here on this planet to skateboard; I feel this is what God wants me to do. I just live it. I get hurt all the time. I break bones. It's just all part of the process.

I live to ride, and ride to live.

No one can tell me what to do on my skateboard. My skateboard is my safe spot. I can learn tricks, I can have fun, I can do whatever I want on my skateboard.

Every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it's motivation.

The dead should not rule the living.

Not real can tell us about real.
