i skate because i fell in love with a piece of wood with 4 wheels the second i first stepped on one back when i was about 10 or so. From that moment i knew that this was going to be something that i do for the rest of my life. There is just a hidden beauty in that beat up piece of maple. That magical feeling you get when you pick up your board and head out the door on a warm summer night. from the moment the globs of urethane hit the pavement and you get that first burst of speed out of your driveway you enter a whole new world. A world where the only thing that worries you is remembering to stay to the left to avoid the pot hole at the end of your street. A new dimension where everything is balanced and perfect, and you breathe with a clear head. I skate because i love the burning in my right leg as i push as hard as i can to get that extra taste of speed before i go down a hill. I skate because i love the feeling of being in a perfect world.

i skate because its life
