Usually the thing that signifies that I'm done with the winter and all that is that I start skateboarding.

Skateboarding is training, but I don't think of it as training. It's fun.

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there.

I personally think skateboarding is harder because it has so many moving parts. With snowboarding, your feet are strapped to your board.

It's exciting to go from snowboarding to skateboarding because I get to start as the underdog again.

Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things.
