Street wisdom

There is one lesson I learnt while trying to learn skateboarding is to NEVER learn from some professional trainer because I never got the hang of it and they keep repeating that,” balance is the key “which we all obviously know. The best thing to do is watch and learn and get better by trial and error. If you choose the path of hiring a professional trainer to teach you and you manage to achieve the impossible and learn something it will be something that millions of kids across the world do, you will not have your own unique style of skateboarding which ultimately is what matters. Unless you make your own style and shred the streets or a half pipe you don’t have what it takes to make it big at the big events like x games. The path of self learning is also not a walk in the park, face plants, bruises; busted skateboards are just some of the byproducts of self learning. But no matter what self learning or professional always wear protection. The satisfaction I got when I landed my first trick jump was awesome. So never give up.
