Goals: "My future goals are
to have fun skating for as long as I can. Eventually I would like
to go to college and get married, but for right now I just want to have
fun doing what I love, and that is skating. I have also had a dream
of becoming an owner/designer of a skatepark, and maybe even becoming the
owner of my own company."
Dreams: "My dream was always
to become a pro athlete. So I am basically living my life dream.
I would always like to go on to the X-Games one day, and if I can do that,
then I guess I would like to win one. Another dream of mine as far
as skating is concerned is to excel in the sport to the point that I could
just skate and not have to work. I think that would be the greatest
thing that could ever happen. Dreams that aren't associated with
skating would be just finding the right girl and getting married and maybe
having kids, but I think I have some time to wait until I fulfill that
part of my dream."
Mesage to Younger: "Don't
worry about becoming a pro, just skate to have fun."
