I skateboard because it gives you something to do in your freetime. There is an endless arsenal of tricks to learn which always gives you something to do.
Probably Alien Workshop. Even though the only boards i have had is a birdhouse and an Alien Workshop, but i just love the name and how well the boards are made. They always have lots of pop which lots of people who have tried mine has recognized.
I never started seriously skateboarding until i was about 11 so i have been skateboarding for a year.
I started when i found a little green skateboard on the side of the road on clean-up week but i quit for a long time.
I had a birdhouse but it got ranover by a car. Then i got an Alien Workshop which i still skate now and i have a board i made at school.
