skateboarding remember whole-life
My whole life has been the skate life. I don't really remember doing anything besides skateboarding.
hurt skates
I am always hurt, but what are you going to do? I have to skate.
hurt skateboarding want
I like skateboarding. I'm here on this planet to skateboard; I feel this is what God wants me to do. I just live it. I get hurt all the time. I break bones. It's just all part of the process.
fun safe want
No one can tell me what to do on my skateboard. My skateboard is my safe spot. I can learn tricks, I can have fun, I can do whatever I want on my skateboard.
nice hair eagles
I don't know if I was ever called out, but I definitely have been told my chest hair gets super long. I don't like it at all, so I definitely shave my chest a bunch. I have a really nice, huge eagle on my whole chest, with the words "Strength" and "Honor" and "Sanctimony" around it, so I like to keep that clean and clear.
motivation trying call-me
Every time somebody calls me out or tries to start something, it's motivation.
waiting world
The world is just waiting to be skated.
sports firsts sticks
Whatever sport you choose, do it because you love it, and don't expect to be an expert first thing. It takes time to do well at anything, but if you love it, you'll stick with it.
regret past steps
I'm living with every step. I can't live with regret. The past is the past. I'm not worried about it. I can't change it. I can't fix it. It is what it is. I'm just living.
kids skateboarding want
Hopefully, kids realize you can do anything you want. Skateboarding can be that gateway.
giving-up trying dont-ever-give-up
Don't ever give up. You gotta keep trying, and never give up.
These fans are there to support me, and I'm so appreciative of that.
age hanging joking older pro turn
When I was 5 years old, hanging out with my friends who were all older than me, like 8 or 9, I was joking around like, 'Yeah, when I'm 20 that's a perfect age to go pro.' That's what I had in my head. Then I turn pro at 13. It's all been a mystery and its all been awesome.

I am so grateful to everybody that supports the Sheckler Foundation, and gives us the ability to continue to help kids and injured action sports athletes.
