I started skateing in the middle of 6th grade.  Ever sinse then I loved to skate.  I was always the runner up to my brother and most of my friends.  But in 7th grade, about 2/3s of the population of skaters stoped and the only skaters in my school were me my brother and acouple of friends.  So now im the second best in my school.  only in street skateing though.  In the summer of 2008, me my brother and my friends Marco Vinny Peter Alex and Justin started a team: Assential.  me my brother and Vinny skate Marco inline skates and Jusin Alex and Peter BMX.  Althoug the only ones on are team that are sponsored are me my brother and Vinny.  But that dosnt mean that everyone else in Assential rips.  So yeah.  Thats my story so far.
