Setup

I started skating because

I have photos of me when I was 3 but it got serious in 5th grade. Why? Because I was spoiled and my dad worked at Powell, he brought home one of the master copies of the Bones Brigade Video Show, I'd say that did it.

I started skating because

I started skateboarding super late -- I was already 15. And although I couldn't even stand at first (knee-boarding), I loved the way it felt, and I knew I was hooked for life. I give props to my brother, Aaron, for giving me my first board and teaching me how to do a kicklfip.
