1. I follow all of the "Kook Commandments" religiously, so I can avoid being a t-dog or kook. I would rather die than be a grommet.
2. I wear Mike Carrol's pro model shoe. So technically I should be as good as him. I don't know what's wrong?
3. I am not creative, I watch his skate part, and copy all his tricks. Then claim to my friends that he is copying me.
4. I live in Canada where it is freezing cold most of the year, he lives in California where it is ideal for skateboarding, so he gets twice as much skating done every year. It will just take me twice as long to become that good. So instead of 12 years it'll be more like 24.
5. I am only 3 quarters his age, so in his old age I expect him to be much better than myself. When I am that old I might not be skateboarding, but if I am, I certainly hope that i'll be that good. At that age if you suck you should just quit, and find something better to do with your life. Nothing looks worse than an person trying to balance themselves on a skateboard.
6. I've only been skating for three years. I think I'm pretty good, I'm not sponsored but if I tried I could be. Now he's been skating for over 10 years, when I'm a veteran like he is I should be pretty damn good.
7. Like Mike I inspect every spot very carefully and think about all the ways I could bail before every trick. I make sure that the spots I skate are perfect, if one detail is off, my skating suffers. As a result I don't do many crazy tricks.
8. I am cocky and like to show off to skateboarders who are worse than myself, I always try to show them up on every trick (just kidding, this sounds like a description of Dylan).
9. I want free stuff from skate companies, and the opportunity to live in Cali, the only way I can think of to acheive this, is to become an excellent skateboarder.
10. I'm a winy baby who wrote a website, about how good I should be.
