Never not gnarly, Dakota holds down the middle section of Splendor with a barrage of respectable bangers

- How much are you willing to sacrifice to achieve what you want in life?
Ollie over the rails to the bank ride on the worst surface in Scottsdale, Dakota goes the distance

- Disrupting somebody else’s realm
- Not being in the van at 10 AM. P.S. Braden Hoban, get to the van on time
- Not treating the van with the respect she deserves; she is our home
- Not parking the van in the right spot. The right spot is basically on the spot we are trying to skate. We want to see the van as we are trying a trick and she wants to see why we make her go so far for these handrails!
- Leaving beer cans on the floor of the van overnight—it destroys the ecosystem of the van!

- Staying focused on what is really important in your life
- Taking care of your body and mind can put you in places you never thought you could make it to
- There is no light at the bottom of a bottle
- I would rather skate flatground in the morning than be hungover
- You have one life to live—don’t waste it

- Water from my canteen
- S.Pellegrino in a glass bottle
- Chocolate, banana, peanut-butter milkshake
- Coca-Cola in a glass bottle

- Another Emerica part!
- Staying on the road!
- Getting Cody Long a pro wheel!
- Figure out switch three flips
