Since the first time I saw a skateboard I knew it would be a part of who I am. Through out my life, for most part, I always have my skateboard. It teaches me lessons daily, like being persistent, determined, knowing if you fall you"re just going to have to get back up. Every situation where I abrade flesh on concrete feels like another session with Mr. Miyagi. You wouldn't think such a useless wooden toy could create such an impact in the perspective of the world, but to me every crack, curb, bank, etc. makes me think of it. Skateboards can make or break a person metaphorically or literally, although they can also be skill builders in evolving our talents and psychological composition. Beside the fact that it builds my character, along with my personality in my perception of living, the background of skateboarding makes it that much more interesting to be a part of. Back in the day, this globally advertised act of entertainment that we know it as today, was once never appreciated or acknowledged, but neglected by a majority of individuals. Skateboards were compared to graffiti in a sense. After years of molding through rebellious stages of being kicked out spots, fighting with authority, doing anything you can to have fun on your skateboard is what its all about. It is a culture, it forces a diverse population to get together all over the country in different cities and states because we all have love for the same thing, Skateboarding. I never stop, I will never quit, I will skate till I'm deceased.

Hi, I have always been scared of riding a skateboard. I don’t have no idea to use one so I know it’s hard to be a skateboarder. I give props to the people I see out there riding one. I tried getting on one but I end up falling. I know that’s not for me I’ll leave that for the pros like you congrats.
