What do you hope peo- ple will take home with them tonight? They are going to come to skate! Are you going to skate? No.You know I’ve been doing a lot of things with boxing everywhere in France—that I can still do. How do you relate to riding the storm? Is it about passion or per- haps patience? How do you ride the storm? There are so many storms right now, I don’t ride it too well. If there was a means we could help, that’s what I try to do. That would be the first revolution started by girls and women. They are incredible, but at the same time there are things all over the world, so right now we are making our bubble and seeing what we can do. I’m an exhausting optimist.

ing in 2000. When I started skating, there weren’t really a lot of skate parks at all. So it was definitely like growing up, skating in the streets and just kind of having that raw essence. And then now it’s like a lot of kids are growing up with so much skateboarding and parks around, you can already look and see what’s been done and all that. So, it’s very much passing on the legacy. In 10 years, what do you hope to see in skating? Skateboarding in a raw area. Like I want to see, ‘Like okay, if you’re going the contest and you’re skating and that’s cool. I give you props for that.’ But I also wanna see the same people going out and doing the same things that we grew up doing, like going and being a part of the streets. And getting your credibility and appreciation from all areas. You know, make sure you hit all the little pinpoints of what people appreciate.
