Skateboarding saved me from a purposeless life. Have you ever come home and you feel your life is meaningless?
I just grab my board to head on to the street. Skateboarding is so much more than just a sport. You just can't explain the feeling it gives you. But you want to, you want other people have the same feeling as you. So, I just stopped trying to talk and picked up my camera.
You try to capture those liberating feelings when you skate. The wind rushing through your face as you scream down a hill, the board flipping; like magic under your feet as
you kickflip. I wrote this to make other people, people who haven’t discovered the beauty of this sport say “I want to
feel like that, the way you do.” You won’t feel this way the
first time you pick up a board and skate, but believe me, the day for you will come. I hope that someday, someday you’ll understand…
