I was 10 years old wen i first picked up a skateboard. All my cousins and my brothers were skating and i was the only one who didnt. That same year, i bought my first board. I had an element deck. Then a couple of months later, i went to a skatepark and watched the pole green competition. I saw all the guys skating and picked up a few tricks from them. By the time the year was over, i had learned the ollie, manual, casper, boardslide, and pop-shuvit.
The next year, i was 11 and well on my way in new skating. I started skating with new people and learned a few new tricks. I was also in the presence of Gilbert Crockett. He is now a pro and the first time i saw him he did a switch heelflip down an 8 stair. I learned how to ollie three stairs after i saw him skate. Sadly, that same year, all of my family quit skating so i had to skate sometimes by myself. At the end of that year i could ollie 4 stars, kickflip, nollie 360 shuvit, indy, and nose manual.
When i was 12 years old and still skating, my dad built me a halfpipe and bought me a rail. I learned so many new tricks that year. I also started going to the skatepark more often. I also made alot of new friends who taught me how to skate better. By the end of that year, i could ollie 6 stairs, kickflip, heelflip, indy, varial kickflip, 50-50, rock to fakie, 180, axle stall, and nollie.
Now this year, 2007, i learned twice as much tricks as last year. I was thirteen and learned how to double kickflip. Now that im 14, i can do so much more. I can catch air off a halfpipe, benihana, melon, 360 flip, fakie flip, backside flip, inward heelflip, pop shuvit 6 stairs, noseslide, and so much more. I was also shown sponsorhouse this year. I am very glad Fuel Clothing and DNA Energy sponsored me. And i hope to have more sponsors before 2008. Thats all that has happend in my skateboarding career, but i will become better. SPONSOR ME!
