Quote
1 I think really you turn pro when you feel ready. I think your sponsors have to be behind you 100% because the sponsors are the ones that are going to pay you to turn pro. It’s just about having heart. You’ve just got to skate, skate your heart out and have fun with it all the time. It’s all about having fun.
2 I knew this was a career when I realized people actually wanted to see me skate.
3 In my downtime, I try to catch up as much as possible with hanging out with my friends and stuff like that. I go to the movies, ride my dirtbike, and surf. On a Friday night, I like to drive around town with my homeys, find stuff to do. I like being home and trying to take advantage of it as much as possible. I like being a part of the scene in San Clemente, so that’s pretty much what I’m out doing when I get a chance. This year has been crazy, though. I haven’t been home much.
4 I’m pretty comfortable with the image I have now. People generally know me for my skating, and I think that’s really the way I want to keep it. I’m not trying to be something I’m not. This is who I am when I wake up in the morning, and I’m comfortable just being myself. Like, I used to be into wearing all black and stuff like that, but I probably won’t be going out and getting full tattoos overnight.
5 A part of me relates to kids my age, a part of me doesn’t, I’m not complaining about my life, but it definitely gets to me when I want to go to the beach. But then, I also want to travel and do all these cool things I get to do. It kind of clashes a little bit, but it’s not something I can’t handle.
