00:05Perfect at skateboarding.

00:12My dad started punching my mom in the face.
00:14Some game was striking.

00:18Everything just turned upside down.
00:21At times I didn't know where to go.
00:24You see it all.
00:27Life was tough, but still I skated with my friends.
00:31Before we even realized it, we were calling each other brothers.
00:34We're family, no matter what.
00:37I chose skateboarding, or the skateboarding choose me.

00:56Stay into your skateboarding, don't let nothing distract you.

01:03I'm going to keep pushing and see how far this goes.
