One thing I love to do when I get board is I skateboard. You probably think that mostly Americans skateboard , not really.. One of my favorite skateboarders is Paul Rodriguez. I don't like him just because he is espanic. I like him because he always takes things serious and does every single thing to the limit. During that time I was watching my brother 

skateboard first, that's when he inspired me to skateboard. The things that he would do with that simple board amazed me. Just standing there looking at him do these tricks that would take me months to do. You can say i got pretty jealous. It took me some time to save up money for a skateboard, about four to five months. But I was well worth it. 

When I got my first skateboard I was 13... Which was last year. I was scared at first but one thing you must do in skateboarding is lose that fear and practice. Practice... Every single day. That's what you must do when you first start to skateboard. You also must do the basics. But I'm not that really good. You can say I am but I sometimes don't think that just because I can land a kick flip, jump a three stair and do a simple Ollie , doesn't mean I'm good. Thats what I think. 

I saw these brands who have these groups of people who had to be the best of the best skateboarders.. Why not start my own? Even though we suck, but that doesn't matter because in skateboarding you never give up. If you fall down.. Get back up and try again. I just want to skate as long as physically possible - Paul Rodriguez
