Yes, wear a helmet and just have fun.

i skated high for so many years and it affected my performance in a negative way. so for me, the answer is to skate clean not necessarily straight. my experience is that the clearer your perception is the better you do anything that takes a lot of concentration, skill, and grace. thank you for this question. i'm happy to share my experience on this topic.

I was one of the authenticity consultants on the film, so if it sucks, I'm partly to blame. but seriously, I enjoyed the film, working with the stunt doubles, the actors, and last but not least, the director, katherine hardwick. she's a good friend and a pleasure to work with. also, to be of note, heath ledger was our star and this is one of his last films.

I've only seen one of his video games: American Wasteland because I'm one of the characters. And I spend most of my time out of doors instead of in front of a screen playing or watching video games.

In retrospect, we just did everything spontaneously but I am proud of the progress we made and I feel that we were responsible for a revolution when it came to the kind of skateboarding that we introduced people to. One of my favorite bands includes one of my favorite people, it's called Fugazi. Ian Mckaye is a good friend and an amazing example of what you can do with the DIY approach to music.
