“Skateboarding doesn’t make you a skateboarder; not being able to stop skateboarding makes you a skateboarder. Skateboarding has nothing to do with competition or sport. It has to do with trying to stay as immature as you can for the rest of your life.”
“I was a real skateboarder, not a gifted skateboarder. I represented that skateboarding was fun to do by being terrible at it.”
“I feel like I’ve influenced in the sense that if you want to do it, do it. If you don’t want to do it, don’t do it. But don’t rely on what people are saying you can do or saying what you can’t do.”
I have a personal library of Artist & Athlete books that I collect. The Lance Mountain Skatebook 3 Bart Simpson Edition is one of the favorites in my collection. I think he got sued for putting Bart Simpson on the cover without permission, that makes the book even cooler, Bart would also think that is awesome. :-).
