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.
You cant be too careful on a skateboard.
I really dont go out at all; I just stay at home and watch movies and skateboard around the house.
In the Sixties, it was mods and rockers, and hippies and casuals, whereas in the early Eighties, there was Goths, punks, mods, skinheads, New Romantics, casuals, metal heads. . . the streets looked completely different. You go into town now and you can't tell one kid from another - you don't know what they're into. You can sort of tell a skateboard kid because his trousers are half way down his legs, but that's about it. Back then, people wore their hearts on their sleeves. It was a really bold time.
Snowboarding's tough, because you've got to go to the mountains. For me, I love the skateboard season because I get to hangout at home and still be skating. I don't have to travel to Norway or Japan or these crazy places to be snowboarding.
Learning a [skateboard] trick is kind of like a puzzle; you have to keep trying, and trying, and trying, and adapting and changing, and adapting and changing, and finally it works.
I started out making skateboard videos. Soon, it dawned on me I just wasnt that great at skateboarding. So I put down the skateboard and just kept going with the camera.
If you skateboard, you cant be afraid to have people laugh at you.
You can't be careful on a skateboard.
I get out on my bike almost every day. If I can't walk somewhere, I'll bike or skateboard.
I have an airplane hangar with 17 cars in it. That's no joke. I have a 'half pipe' in there, too - you know, like a big ramp, where I skateboard. It's awesome. It's the ultimate fantasy.
To make money I picked up work as a busboy, valet parker, skateboard shop employee.
