#kat

Although in skating you compete with other people, anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better, learn more, learn faster, is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life. ↗

I've been designing since I was 8. I started sketching dresses I could wear when skating. I was always involved in all aspects of skating, not just the technique, the choreography, the music, but the visual aspects, too - what I should wear. ↗

One thing about a skater: they never quit. So a skater, to sum it up, is awesome. ↗

I'm kinda mad that I had to wait 28 years to jump on a skateboard. ↗

I actually had a Bobby Orr action figure. You could put the pads on him and skates and all that. I was 7, and he was still playing. ↗

Skateboarding is training, but I don't think of it as training. It's fun. ↗

The hardest thing about skateboarding is consistency: The slightest flick of your foot or gust of wind can send your board flying, so it's really anybody's game out there. ↗

Skateboarding helps a ton with balance, precision, with air awareness... it gets your senses to be spot-on and it's also a great way to take my mind off things. ↗

If skating got into the Olympics, I would be tempted to hold off on shredding for a year and just skate, to make that my new goal. In that sport, I'm still the underdog. ↗

If you go to a building to skate, or if you go to these places to skate, you're told it's against the law in some cities. It's definitely a bummer. It's unfortunate. ↗
