Skateboard

I, all my life have been one hundred percent dedicated to skateboarding. It started when I was just six years old. It has always been my favorite thing to do. I’ll be honest, I am good at it, and I have always competed well. But then I got to this point where, I was not so sure if it was for me. I questioned my skill, and love for skateboarding.

Hockey Hockey is a sport that has evolved for generations into the American culture. There is evidence that the first skates are from around 3,000 BC and were made of animal bone. A more complicated version of the skates was engineered by the Dutch to solve the problem of the skates falling off. These were the first wooden skates. Unfortunately, the wooden skates did not glide well on the ice and soaked up the water (Ice Hockey). Iron blades were invented in the 1800s and called ¨stock skates¨.

I have tried it a couple of times and it's not much of a thrilling activity to

build a skateboard because a lot of people skate in the U.S., especially in California. I feel like skateboarding is a part of American culture so it’s a good topic to work on.

More Respect for Skater Freaks   The wheels of the board grind across the asphalt pavement, carrying its rider across the parking lot.
