He is a sports superstar with his feet firmly planted in reality. |
He's never been afraid to try things higher and higher, even when he was young and dwarfed by the size of the ramps. |
I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. |
I love snowboarding, but I would never want to do it competitively or at a professional level. Snowboarding is a spawn of skating, and skating is my passion. |
I love the fact that there is now a skate park in almost every city, but it will always have a rebellious/underground edge to it because it is based on individuality. |
I won't quit skating until I am physically unable. |
If you do not online-enable a game, it could kill you. |
Most of my friends are skaters or were skaters at one time, so they obviously relate. |
Some of the spins he has learned on his skateboard had never been done before, because we, as skaters, didn't have a frame of reference to try them for the first time. For instance, nobody had attempted a 1080 in skating until Shaun tried it last year. He wasn't scared because he's done it plenty of times in the snow. |
That's awesome. Aside from being a really positive outlet for kids who are going to skate whether there's a park or not, it's a breeding ground. It helps our sport grow. |
These sports are just -- you go do it, and you're doing it on your own. You don't have to answer to anyone. |
