My First Time on a Skateboard
... I did it for a long time, and I was pretty good. Everything changed my senior year in high school when I was introduced to the skateboard. I wasn’t totally ignorant of what a skateboard was and how it was ridden. ... I never actually bought a skateboard and rode. ... One day when there was a skateboard team doing a demo at the skate park. ... Was he just being a jerk or was he really trying to encourage me to skateboard. ... And boom there it was; a skateboard. ... I looked around; everyone there had their own skateboard. ... I rode that skateboard till the sun went down. ... It was hard learning to skateboard, I fell all the time. ... By that time I had almost completely forgotten about rollerblading. ... One day while skating at the beach I rolled my ankle for the first time. ... I proved to them that I skateboard, not to look cool. ... Now we always skateboard together. I have gone through many skateboards, but I will always remember that skateboard that I found at the skate park.
