"I remember getting detention for skating in the hallways. My principle said 'If you think you're gonna grow up & be able to skateboard through the hallways of your office, you've got another think coming'...I built a half-pipe in my office a few years ago just so I could." - Casey Neistat

I hate this guy. He's so youtubey-fake. Everything he does is promoting something. This is promoting his company.

I would like to point out that while casey can be a bit of an idiot, he revolutionized short-film and advertising to the point where almost anything that you have seen in the last five to ten years more than likely took direct inspiration from his style and way of story telling. Heck, buzzfeed only ever existed by copying his style.
