I never thought I would be making the money I do and traveling like I do because of skateboarding. It all just happened.
What has been the biggest change in my sport since I started? Ummm....Popularity. It's been insane and fun!
It's crazy how these kids look up to you. They watch every trick you do, listen to every word you say, go out and buy your skateboards, your shoes, your T-shirts, because your name is on them -- they admire you and they look up to you. Everything I am is because of these kids. They look to skaters like me and they are the future of skateboarding. I won't lie, it's cool.
All I wanna do is skate the rails and the curbs. That's it!
Doing the Fandangle trick...well, it's the most elusive maneuver ever to be done on a skateboard. So, I can't really expose the secret, sorry.
