One of my many passions is skating. I’ve been skating for about 5 months now and it’s so much fun. Skating is a really great escape if you’re mad or just stressed out about homework (blog) or something like that. It’s a sign of freedom and no worries when you feel that cold wind hit your face while riding fast. Unless you hit a death pebble then you’re pretty much out of luck. But other than that, it feels amazing.
Once you get comfortable riding your skateboard around you start to learn tricks. The ollie is one of first tricks you learn do and a foundation for the other tricks. Once you learn the ollie and can do it almost all the time, you can ollie over big cracks, curbs, down stairs, and gap stuff. When you ollie over something or land a flip trick you feel like you can do anything. You might even feel like you can do something crazy which you probably can’t and will most likely end up breaking a bone or something of that nature, but you don’t really care because you’re in the “zone”.
Another one of my passions is soccer. I’ve played soccer since I was in 5th grade I believe. It all started when my dad signed me up for a league without telling me. I’ve never even touched a soccer ball before and he expected me to play? But I have, however, watched soccer on TV every once in a while and knew some things about it. Also my older brothers taught me over time how to be a better player and defender. I played right side defender for a team called Santos that my dad ended up coaching. He became couch because all the people came to him when we first started our soccer team. Over time I really came to love soccer. I’m actually really glad he signed me up.
