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.”
