Americans no longer believe a good life is attainable “As a younger millennial, I'm really beginning to question when we're going to call it a f*cking day — We've been sold a f*cking lie pretty much our entire lives, and that this American dream is not f*cking attainable. It's not attainable. It was attainable for the older generations as we know. They were able to work their 40 hours a week and reap the benefits. Whereas we, we have to work 2 to 3 jobs” “I'm not f*cking doing it. I'm not f*cking participating in this — I'm f*cking exhausted. I'm exhausted. I have worked since I was 14 years old. I think most millennials are in the same boat. We've been working forever and we're f*cking burnt out. There's been many phases throughout my life where I've had to work multiple jobs just to get by, just to get by, and I have nothing to show for it. I don't have a house. My car, I've been driving the same car since I was in college, so 10 years, over 10 years, it's f*cking falling apart. I can barely afford groceries. I'm living with my parents because I can't afford to rent on my own. People say, oh, well just get roommates. I'm 30 fucking years old. I shouldn't have to live with f*cking roommates. I'm an adult. I was able to live on my own before. Not anymore, though. All of our clothes are fucking plastic. All of our food is poisonous. It f*cking toxic, and we're paying top dollar for it. I don't have healthcare because when I was laid off, obviously I lost my insurance and I found a way to work for myself, but I, I can't afford, I can't afford healthcare. If I do need something, I'm paying out of pocket. The list just goes. It's never ending. And I think we're all just at a f*cking point where we're, we're done, we're exhausted.“

Today is exactly 10 years since my injury that ended my skate career, at the age of 24. The animation explains exactly what that night was like, and how stupid it was, but also how gnarly it was. I ended up rupturing an artery, tore ACL, LCL, PCL, MCL, and stretched out the nerve in the back of my knee that caused me to have a permanent paralyzed foot (drop foot). I can’t begin to tell you how devastating it was to have something I loved so much taken away from me in seconds. My whole life was dedicated to skateboarding and it all changed over night, because of just one stupid moment. I’ve gone through a lot of ups and downs over the past 10 years, from hating skateboarding, wanting nothing to do with it, distancing myself from my skate friends - Then years later finding myself right back to loving skating and being apart of it again in different ways than just stepping on a skateboard. All of that has just been part of my healing process. I had a meeting with Rick, Carroll, and Smyth at Girl a few years back, requesting that we do a “Last Board”. They initially didn’t agree with me, but it was something that I really wanted to do. I felt just for the healing journey that I needed that chapter of my life to come to an end. I owe those dudes everything that I have in my life, Girl was my favorite company as a kid growing up, and I am so grateful that I was able to turn pro with them at 18 years old, and end my skate career with them (technically 10 years ago). I fucking LOVE Girl Skateboards forever. I also really like the idea of the board saying “GAME OVER” because it sounds so harsh, like “Dude, you broke your leg, you lose. You’re not Pro anymore. Game over” hahaha. I also just want to thank every single person that has supported me along the way of my skate career, from my family and friends, to every single person that we met at the demos and signings around the world. I am grateful for absolutely every second of it and all of it was a dream come true. And hopefully in 10 more years someone figures out how to cure some damn nerve damage. Shit. New part dropping 2034.
