I Believe in Skateboarding by Lucas Anderson

I believe in skateboarding. I think that everyone should have something to believe in; for me it is skateboards. You should be proud in what you believe in and I am proud to be a skater! Yes, I believe in skateboarding.

There is nothing else I would rather do than go skate. If I have a bad day, I'll go skate for a few hours and I'm cheered up. It's my way to deal with things. When I skateboard I clear my mind. It relaxes me and calms me down.

One of the many reasons that I believe in skateboarding is because I skate with my friends all the time. I love skating; I've been skating for about five years now. Not everyone likes skaters, but that doesn't bother me. I just do my thing and ignore people. Often skaters get a bad rap, as damage can happen when skating.

It takes so much practice to get better at skating. It took me almost a year just to learn how to ride it. Then you have to learn all the tricks and moves on the board. It's insane how much stuff there is to learn about skating. Sometimes I still feel like a beginner.

Skating is more then just a sport to me. It's also more then a hobby. Skating is something I'll do for life. It's a way of life and a fun lifestyle! It's just the thing that I do, sort of my thing! I always will skate. I believe in skateboarding!
