I like his bit about being a father and sacrificing his training to give to his family. Really humble and something to be applauded.

I think it should go to me. I wasn't invited. But I'm really ridiculously good. People just don't understand that getting old, going slower and smaller is the new thing.

Most cities don't. I think we as a culture need to grow in our desire over our fear. All over the world kids are die from hunger, and we're afraid that our kid is going to break his wrist? How are kids and young people going to make a difference if from a young age they are taught not to take risks. Skateparks and pump-tracks are places to learn that stuff, as well as learn what they can contribute. I'm a parent and I think that we need kids who are comfortable being uncomfortable as kids so when they see a world in need they give. That's where our efforts and money need to go, not lawsuits, and parks and stuff are part of the training grounds. You get hurt there, you learn that life is hard there, you practice there, you succeed there. People can't say that those aren't life lessons.
