00:20.000 --> 00:26.000
For me, skateboarding is an urban art 
form first and foremost, 

00:26.000 --> 00:30.000
which happens physically in the 
moment, wherever it happens to be. 

00:30.000 --> 00:35.000
You become one with the 
street and the movement. 

00:35.000 --> 00:38.000
My mother always just said, 
“Do whatever makes you happy”, 

00:38.000 --> 00:43.000
and my father said, “Do what you want, 
just don’t become a used car salesman”!

00:43.000 --> 00:48.000
And those were the rules, as it were. 

00:48.000 --> 00:55.000
When they saw that I was good at it and 
could also start my business from it, 

00:55.000 --> 00:59.000
of course they were pleased 
I’d found something I enjoyed 

00:59.000 --> 01:03.000
and that also made me money. 

01:03.000 --> 01:08.000
I think, because of the way we 
skateboarders move through the city, 

01:08.000 --> 01:14.000
we’ve always had the feeling that the city belongs to us too. 
And that we share it. 

01:14.000 --> 01:18.000
That you don’t necessarily have to own everything, 

01:18.000 --> 01:22.000
but rather use things collectively: 
I see that as a positive development. 

01:22.000 --> 01:28.000
Whatever other problems or difficulties I have had in life, 
the skateboard has always been with me. 

01:28.000 --> 01:32.000
It really is one of the most loyal friends you can have. 

01:32.000 --> 01:39.000
I want to keep riding forever. To keep skating forever.
