2 years ago I was 11 years old I was laying down on my bed watching skateboarding videos. I was really into it, it looks fun looks dangerous. I needed to do all my chores for 3 weeks so I was doing all of my chores I was going to my grandparents house to do chores there all I wanted to is to get my skateboard. I was really happy because I had enough money to buy my skateboard. My dad and me went in the car and I was so excited to get it I told my dad if he can pick my friend up so he can help me pick out my skateboard stuff like wheels, deck, grip tape. Me and my friend were looking at skating vedios like skating vedios like how to do tricks like Ollie,pop shut-it, and 180. My friend said "it would not be so hard just commit".
I looked up and I saw us slowing down and I saw the skate shop and it had a big logo saying Uprise. I was so excited I me and my friend got out of the car and we went in the shop. Alll I see is clothes on the reck skate shoes on the wall boards on the selfs and at the back of the store. I was shocked and I was happy I went to buy my very first skateboard the deck was a dgk board, thunder trucks, grizzly griptape, bones wheels, red barrings. We bought it and I was so excited we went into the car and we were on our way to the skatepark called Maple my dad was happy for me because he knew I wanted the skateboard for so long.
We were at the skatepark called Maple and my friend was teaching me how to set up my skateboard.When we I finish with my skateboard and I was riding it to get the feel of the skateboard and my friend was trying to teach me simple tricks like Ollie, 180 and a shiv-it. By the time I landed those three tricks it was dark so I went home and my friend came with. Until this day I still skateboard and got better every time I practice.
Same with em buddy I was that age too but my board was different mine was a plan B board with thunder trucks and red barrings and the same wheels

ReplyDeleteSkateboarding sounds fun but really hard! This story actually has a great lesson for anything that is challenging in life - every time you practice, you get better! Thanks for sharing your story.
