Episode 17 - John Cardiel, Skateboarding, as a Mindset for LivingDescription
John Cardiel, One of Sacramento’s Finest, Former Pro Skateboarder/Snowboarder, who has also been a core member of Anti Hero Skateboards since 1995.
As of this interview in 2017, Cardiel was actively involved in Break Free Customs based in Sacramento.
We discuss Skateboarding as a mindset and as a way of being and being told he would never walk again and:
He talks about his story and being told he would never walk again after he was hit by a trailer
Determination to feel a flicker of movement (it took three months).
“I had zero feeling, every day, every moment, I tried until I was physically and emotionally exhausted. It wasn’t severed like they said.”
“What’s the rest of your life not being able to walk again?
That’s the trade-off.”
“Don’t give up ever, never. If I did give up I’d be in a different place but I’d feel resentment for giving up.
"I am where I am today because I never gave up.”
“All things need attention if you want completion.”
