I'm at such a terrible age...

Well I'm eighteen (legal, ladies...) and I'm in the beginning stages of skating and I just feel out of place.
I suppose most people start a lot earlier in life and at this point have gotten damn good or given up... So I'm stuck in the lonely corner of inexperience...
I wasted my youth playing videogames and eating.

i started at 12 but never really progressed. i just started trying tricks and doing stuff last year and now im 19. all my buddies absolutely kill it and im still struggling on kickflips but it doesnt bug me. i have fun and im learning. i am just a whimp sometimes when it comes to commiting on some tricks.
have found out that i love miniramp.
the backside disator is so hard. one day, one day...

i think it's better to start when your older...your braver/dumber to try more stuff.

skating with people that are amazing sometimes sucks but it helps you progress a lot faster

mmm i love ramps and halfpipes. i knew how to skate around and roll off and back on curbs when i was like 12 but then i gave it up now that i picked it back up again i used to try to learn tricks with my ex boyfriend, he was really good, so i learned three tricks in one day so i was pretty stoked now im just trying to land more stuff on a halfpipe!
