Skating on a free road

I always wondered how exactly the skateboard stays under the feet of professional skate boarders every time they land a trick. It seems to defy the laws of physics. So I decided to find out for myself, went to the nearest sports store got myself a skateboard and the safety gear as well cause seen some skaters land on other parts besides their feet. I pad up and keep get on the board and kick of the pavement, I seemed to do fine. Maintained my balance pretty well except the burning sensation in every muscle in my leg cause of the strain I am putting on them just to keep my balance. All went fine until the pavement was coming to an end, wasn’t sure if I should stop and continue. Took a breath and did a hop to get off the pavement and I landed but something was wrong I wasn’t moving but the skateboard alone was skating off. I got back on and tried again and again landed on my face a couple of times when I stumbled on the skateboard or when it skated off from under me. I thought to myself those guys must definitely be using graphics on TV because this is hard but decided to give it one last try.

Got back on and landed it, the satisfaction I felt was nothing short of what an Olympic gold medalist would feel considering I had way more bruises than they would.
