I quit high school to be a pro skateboarder out of Ohio, which is just asinine, but it was meant to be.
At most contests now, skaters are judged against themselves.
As a professional skateboarder, I can't look at anyone getting hurt - it freaks me out.
The mainstream thinks that every skateboarder aspires to be in the X Games.
The serious professional skateboarder doesn't have a job. They get paid enough not to.
No matter what I do, how much money I make, where I live, or what kind of car I drive, the stuff I skateboard on is the same stuff that every other kid in L.A., every kid in the country, everybody in the world is skateboarding on.
