this is how i got started in skateboarding. well it was the beging of school it was like the end of september and i was passing by a bike shop and i new that they should skateboads and i wanted to get one and i wanted one because i saw people skateboarding and doing cool tricks and my cousin he told me when he was a teenager use to skateboard.so i told my parents i wanted one and that i would not give out on it so they said ok. i learn how to ollie quick and then with a little bet of practices i learned how to do a pop-shovit.know i cam better i have jumped 5 stars but they where not as tall as you may think.so if you really want to do something put your mind to it and do it.
