This is someone’s first time on a board – I love it. I love that she did it because really getting on a piece of wood with four wheels and no brake or steering wheel – that’s scary! And I love that someone was there to help her.

I’m sure people can teach themselves skateboarding – I’ve seen people watch videos and learn how to do tricks. I just like the idea of having help.

How did you first learn to skateboard or what was something bugging you for a while until you just did it? Share those pictures and stories of what you did to get or keep skateboarding – that’s inspirational not just to me but many other skater girls.
