“Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.” YearsFirstsLittlesKidsBitsSportsGrowing UpFiveGrowingLittle BitAthleteTraditionalBeachRacingFreshmanSurferSkateboardingSophomoreSkateboarderSophomore YearBmxHuntington Beach Author:Jason Lee
“I love the ocean, and I love surfing. It's something so special and unique, and surfing is unlike any other sport. Skateboarding is amazing, you get the adrenaline rush, but you don't get the feel of the ocean, of doing its own thing. Totally surrounding you. Definitely a unique thing, it's a blessing, and a huge part of my healing process I would say.” FeelsSportsProcessHealingSpecialHugeBlessingOceanUniqueSurfingAdrenalineSkateboardingHealing ProcessAdrenaline RushUnique Things Author:Bethany Hamilton
“I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization.” ArtWould BeActionFormSportsLifestyleOffensiveSkateboardingCategorizationSkateboarder Author:Tony Hawk
