Skateboarding is My Lifetime Sport 
Skateboarding has always been a part of my life, when I say always I mean since I was 4 years old. I picked up more aggressively at the age of 6 and really took off at the age of 13.
Skateboarding among stress relief has taught me critical life lessons, and handling situations in everyday life. It has also taught me determination dedication and hard work. Ironically it has taught me to eat healthy and stay active. Although it is fun it’s one of the last things I learned from it, it also taught me about being cautious whether it was a real life situation or just a skateboarding situation. It helped my selfconfidence as well as being a life coach to teach others the things I already know. The sport has taken me places I could only dream of being a kid, whether it was city to city or in competitions with a diverse set of individuals. My experience is a classic one as it started basic and blossomed into a hobby and then into a job. I got paid in skateboarding merchandise and skateboards, as well as stickers. The people I met also played an important role in my life, meeting business owners who saw the potential in marketing skateboarding provided, as well as upcoming brands who are now well know skateboarding brands. It taught me to be a part of a community where everyone knew of each other in one way or another and all shared the same goals and interests. Street skating and filming is another dimension in its own. It forces you to be creative making a video including a direction and actor, the director being the cameraman and the actor being the individual skateboarding. Angles and lighting are important things to take into consideration as well as tricks and stances used. A well put together video that is short, sweet, simple and “cool looking” will land you a sponsor who will provide you with free merchandise that you can do with as you please. The smart move would to be use the products you were given to further
