Skateboarding, to me, is more than just a bit of wood with
four wheels. It’s not about the tricks or how fast you ride; to me, it’s about
the way it makes me feel.
It’s my escape from reality. A big factor for me is my
mental health. Every time I’m on my skateboard, it helps me forget about my
worries. It’s the sense of belonging, the sense of community, and the amazing
people I’ve met through skateboarding who will forever be a part of my life.
It’s also about creative freedom. You can do what you like;
there’s no right or wrong way to skate. It’s just you, your board, and your
freedom.
