Also, as people get older, they are just less willing to risk injury since it could cause WAY more PERMANENT damage to their bodies!!! Now, every time it rains, I literally hurt EVERYWHERE I was EVER injured ALL AT ONCE! (Sad but true!) Not to mention, you just aren’t as good at athletic type stuff, like skateboarding, as you used to be. That’s why 40 year old football players, like Tom Brady, are so freakin rare and everybody talks about how old they are!

Similarly, he's first to shut down anyone who thinks that anyone achieving tricks beyond his on 'Megaramps' and things are somewhat cheating. He sees skateboarding as one big thing, and takes no issue to saying that there are regions of it that just aren't in his field of expertise. He wasn't going to scoff at Tom Schaar having to use a big quarterpipe for his 1080. He respected it.
