I just don't love to skateboard.
I wanna get better at it.
And through that, I have to change.
From the point that my career started when I was 17 or 18,
my life got busier and busier and busier.
Every month I was, like, chilling out in California
and in a different country.
There's always a project.
It's up. It's down. It's here and there.
It's just always hectic.
If you had to summarize those 11 years in a word,
what would that word be?
Definitely would be fun.
It was fun. That's why it went so quick.

I've been hurt for like the last three, almost four months.
I've been pretty cooped up in the crib.
You clean a little bit every day, you don't have to clean a lot one day.
Shake. Other hand.
Below. Down.
Hey!
I realize that when you get older, you have to make sacrifices.
Do I wanna keep having fun and doing the s--t
that ultimately withers your body way faster?
Or do I want to grow physically and mentally?
With skateboarding, I can pretty much do whatever I want when I wanna do it.
So there's, like, not a lot of structure in that,
and I wanted to bring structure into my life.
All right. You got two to go here.
I wanna pressure myself.
I'm trying to go to the gym a certain amount of times a week.
I need to start becoming more flexible.
That's it, Ishod. Let's go.
I have to make moves to keep my body in shape.
I guess in skateboarding, you're shifting your weight a lot, right?
Freeze on a two.
- See how it's straight? - Ah.
- You want it up there. So watch my legs. - Mm-hmm.
Boom.
We're gonna get you using them legs properly.
For sure.
You're not using your leg right.
I can, like, skate better than I can walk.
There's not that second thought.
I usually step on my board,
and everything works exactly how I want to.
I'm kind of just, like, on autopilot.
And then those bad days where the s--t doesn't work,
I'm just pissed off 'cause I can feel right out the gates.
Like, today wasn't fun.
I'm so f-----g mad. Like, burning hot inside.
What the f--k!
But I only ever really get angry like that with skateboarding.
It's insane.
I'm, like, very passionate about that s--t.
It's not even really a competition with anybody else other than myself.
I don't even really know where it comes from.
I just know I wanna be better. I wanna be a beast.
That's just me, though.
