I was doing some reading and found this quote by the legend Russ Howell. I just thought I'd share it with you. I hope your all doing great out there where ever you are. :icon_wink

I skated today in 110 temps. It's officialy HOT in my neck of the woods. I'm putting together new footage and drinking lots of fluids. A person could die skating out here you know! :eek:

Do you have any advice to both the newcomers and more experienced freestyles? Never skate with the attitude that the sport or somebody else owes you something because of your efforts. Skating is its own reward. Being a better skater doesn't automatically qualify someone as being a better person. Strength isn't shown by pushing others over, but rather by lifting others up. Enjoy what you have and help others when you can. Poverty isn't a diminishing of one's possessions, but rather the increase of one's greed.

Great quote Keith glad to hear from you again. Russ is an amazing skater and has done so much for skate community and has been there since the beginning so im not surprised that he could come up with something like. You know what I realized is that Russ Howell is probably the oldest pro skater out there I mean 62 and still skating is pretty cool.
