Thank Goodness my Dad helped me up and never gave up on training and teaching me to play at my highest expectations. Every once in awhile, my dad and I would skate on the ice for extra practice.

I grew up in Glendora, which was not much of…

I was tired, so I decided to skate over to where my dad was sitting, but I was going way too fast. My heart started…

to fit this specific style of riding in order to maintain longevity. On the other hand, there may be a market for first time buyers who do not necessarily skate at the moment. During my (Alexander) questioning I was only able to talk to one individual who rides long boards, the others did not skate. I found that the people who did not skate were more receptive to the idea of a board using alternative construction materials because it could be “cool” or “trendy”. These individuals did not…

in many positive changes. An example Hall states in her book is the innovation of a figure skate. Overdoing damages to figure skaters were escalating until the Klapskate came about. The skate consisted of a design including a hinge near the toes allowing plantar flexion to the ankle on a push off vault also improving momentum, thus greater performance outcomes (Hall, 2014).
