I compete because I like to challenge myself and my friends to be the best we can be. I also like to compete to see what tricks my friends are doing, and what tricks i need to work on.
I cannot say just one thing. I love skateboarding because of late night sessions with friends, landing that one trick you worked so hard on, and the progression. These are just a few reasons.
When I grow up, I would like to own my own public skatepark. If this doesn't happen, I hope to at least be apart of the skating industry.
I am 13 years old and i live in Forsyth County, Georgia. I am a Christian with a big family of six who attend Berean Baptist Church. I started skating about 2 1/2 years ago, when I was inspired by some older skaters. Ever since then I have been hooked and can't stop. My goal for skating today is to learn at least 4 new tricks a week.
I would not call it training, I skate for fun. I skate whenever possible.
