Personal Narrative When I was five years old, my family and I went on a road trip to California. this was when I lived in Kansas, so I was really excited to visit family I never met there. My uncle had a skateboard collection and my mom was riding around on a longboard. She asked me if I wanted to learn how to skate. I said yes. That was the best choice I ever made. Ever since then I have been fascinated with skating and learning new tricks. My brothers and I can all skate well, although my younger brother Azrael (who is 9) is the the best. We have all been learning slowly, but now I can ollie, do a pop shuvit, drop in, and do many other things. When I first tried skating with my mom I was mad because I just couldn’t figure it out.

We couldn’t remember how to do anything but the basics. It was embarrassing. Azrael and I started to reteach ourselves, all the while teaching our younger brother Raevyn.
We have met a lot of people at skate parks. Almost all of those people are still or good friends. They teach us new tricks everyday and some of those people don’t even ride skateboards! Jasmine taught me that no matter how mad you get, it’s ok to throw your skateboard, just not at other people. Zack taught us that longboard wheels can’t be put on normal skateboards or the skateboard won’t even move(he taught us that on accident… He did it to himself). People teach my brothers and I stuff everyday, just sometimes we don’t realize it. Right now we are all pretty good skaters, but not as good as we used to be. We will get better though. For some reason my brother wants hover boards to replace skateboards. Me and my real dad built one once but it worked by using extremely strong magnets. We put a large magnet on the ground and one in the hover board. The magnet on the ground repelled the one in the board and the board floated…but imagine how much it would cost to make a whole skate park out of magnets for
