I get the initial hate/skepticism when he got in to skateboarding, but it's pretty clear to me that it stuck with him and he's a lifer now. So many good comments in here re him choosing to spend his free time skating. Think about it for a second... He could easily be with getting down with the baddest bitches, or okay, elite strippers/high end escorts, but he chooses to skate. It's just a testament to the feeling of it. After he 180'd the stairs towards the end, the sense of stoke and pride was tangible. That's what it's all about, folks. Shit, at 34 I'm just happy to push down the street.
