So much gnarly stuff goes down at the X-Games that no-one even sees because they only have so much airtime devoted to skating. I don't think there's resentment from other guys-most of them know how I feel.

I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. 'Action sport' would be the least offensive categorization.
