The serious professional skateboarder doesn't have a job. They get paid enough not to.

As a professional skateboarder, I can't look at anyone getting hurt - it freaks me out.

Half of my success is my fearlessness and recklessness - of just seeing the end and not stopping until you get there.

With success comes responsibility of playing your part, to do what you can to help not only those that helped you get to where you're at, but the future of who's going to be playing a part of your business and everything you do in your entire career.

No one can fathom that the top 200 pro street skaters run from cops on the weekends and use a generator and lights to light up a handrail at 2 in the morning to get a trick that's going to be in an advertisement that will be shown around the world.

I started my first company when I was 18 and learned by trial through fire, having no formal education or entrepreneurial experience.
