Best Skateboarding Quotes

Nikki Rowe
Think about how much skateboarding opens your eyes to see the world differently.
Jon Humphries
You didn’t quit skateboarding because you got old; you got old because you quit skateboarding.

Skateboarding has nothing to do with competition or sport. It has to do with trying to stay as immature as you can for the rest of your life.

Jake Phelps
I see people with talent, but the one thing they don’t have is that love for doing it for the sake of it.

Good Skateboarding Sayings
Snowboarding is skateboarding without the wheels, just on the snow. It’s the same thing. Just that one is on hard ground with the wheels. The other is on snow. You just have to know how to maneuver your board and do things you want to do.
Gza
They’ll try to apply the rules of the day to the game – where you can’t touch your board, or you can’t step off your board, etc. And I want nothing to do with it. It’s like a game from a different planet or something, and it’s hard for me to relate to anybody who would think of skateboarding in such a narrow way.
Mike Vallely
I’ll tell you one of the great activities is skateboarding. To learn to do a skateboard trick, how many times do you gotta get something wrong till you get it right? …And you hurt yourself, and you learned to do that trick, now you got a life lesson. Every time I see those skateboard kids, I think, ‘those kids will be alright.’
Jerry Seinfeld
Skateboarding, like graffiti, will never be tamed. No matter how much they monetize it, no matter how big it gets, no matter how many companies are putting millions and millions of dollars into marketing it, it’s always going to be some Mexican kid on a corner in Echo Park that changes the rules of the game.
Jeffrey Deitch
I think that skateboarding can absolutely help make peace… I know skateboarding can bring people together. You can travel anywhere, and if someone’s skateboarding, they like you regardless of where you’re from or what you do. You skateboard, and that’s it.
Jamie Thomas

One of the interesting things about skateboarding and graffiti is that skateboarding exists in the documentation of an act.

Merrill Markoe

Motivational Skateboarding Quotes
I grew up skateboarding; it was fun. I didn’t think about money. I didn’t know how much professional skateboarders made. I just knew that if I became a professional skateboarder, I would achieve a lot and get to travel and do these great things.
Jason Lee
My life path has been a blessing and a great learning experience. Skateboarding is my passion and I don’t see that changing. When I’m not skating, I love to surf. I’m open to the new experiences and opportunities.
Ryan Sheckler
Don’t let anything poison your individuality. Break away and look in, not outward.
Rodney Mullen
Through skateboarding, I have an open line of communication, some common ground, and common ground is a big man. That enables me to travel around the world and, no matter where I am, or who I’m with, connect with other young people, and I can have an instant dialogue and an instant relationship based on the fact that we skateboard, and when I’m doing appearances and demos, that’s not lost on me.
Mike Vallely
Skateboarding is as much, or more, an art of mode of expression than it is a sport. What skateboarding has given me is precisely that: a form of expression that drew me to it, and, in so doing, I was able to express and be who I wanted to be through it, in a sense.
Rodney Mullen
When skateboarding hit, I wanted to be the best skateboarder in the world, and I fought for it, there was nothing that was going to get in my way.

Inspirational
These inspirational skateboarding quotes will have you looking for your board in no time.
I fell in love with skateboarding because it was individual; there were no teams, there were no captains, and there was nothing to perfect. No style that had to be measured. It was completely opposite of what I saw in so many sports. It was creative. And to this day, that’s what I love. That’s always kept me back to it because its endless creation.
Rodney Mullen
Skateboarding is not a hobby. And it is not a sport. Skateboarding is a way of learning how to redefine the world around you. For most people, when they saw a swimming pool, they thought, ‘Let’s take a swim.’ But I thought, ‘Let’s ride it.’ When they saw the curb or a street, they would think about driving on it. I would think about the texture. I slowly developed the ability to look at the world through totally different means.
Ian MacKaye
For me, skateboarding is a lifestyle. I really don’t know anything different. My life revolves around skating. If I wasn’t a professional skateboarder, I’d still be skating every day.

Shaun White

Growing up in Huntington Beach, you were either a traditional sports athlete, a skateboarder, or a surfer. I got my first skateboard when I was five and skated off and on over the years, did a little BMX racing as a kid, and then in my freshman or sophomore year, I started getting a little bit more into skateboarding.
Jason Lee
I feel like skateboarding is as much of a sport as a lifestyle, and an art form, so there’s so much that transcends in terms of music, fashion, and entertainment.
