Still A Kid

Let me tell you a story of the day that changed my life forever. My older brother brought a Thrasher magazine and left it on a couch for a while. I happened to  walk by the colorful magazine a bunch of times and with curiosity, I finally picked it up and flipped pages. I immediately became hooked with these hardcore dudes going airborne on simple wood boards with four wheels. One thing that fascinated me the most were handplants on halfpipes. I love its art and fitness. I never thought I would pull it off on a skateboard. I was only nine years old.

Now the past summer, nothing inspired me more than two long time friends of mine pushing themselves skating on a halfpipe. I mean they are 32 years old and you rarely see anyone that age pushing themselves for just a hell of fun. I was thinking why the hell I just try and do something that I always wanted to do...  Therefore, I decided to step up and put knee pads on, then pulled off a handplant after probably 20 tries. At that moment, I couldn't believe what I just did.  Since I turned 32, I said to myself why didn't I do that a long time ago?  You just never have to stop dreaming.

By the way, Ethan's ender part absolutely blew my mind away. For real, you won't be disappointed if
you buy Role Model Production's Think Positive.
