Skateboarding

family. But, Sports, in general, are what we’re taught to strive for. My cultural inheritance is sports and to be good at them and play them. Football is one of my favorite sports. My mom has encouraged to keep playing but also to do other sports. Skateboarding, baseball, and tons of other sports are all a part of my life. “Dinger” is a part of baseball terminology and it means to hit a homerun, or have a big hit. When someone says that was “clean” it usually means that the trick was landed well…

For decades school system have been teaching students to believe we have evolved from monkeys which is known as the Charles Darwin Theory of Evolution. I feel there is a problem with that because of people’s different religious views. Many believe that there is a God that created everything around us include us. School systems shouldn’t teach this because although the popular belief it isn’t confirmed and is still only a theory. Adding on, there are no fossil records that prove that we evolved…

riders into one group. Skateboarders have a specific understanding of what it means to ride versus longboarders. Unfortunately, I didn’t come across any longboarders around Ithaca. I did get an earful from the skateboarders. Skateboarders view skateboarding as an evolving form of art. As different riders with different styles come onto the scene, skateboards must meet the style’s specifications. Decks built in the 90s suit the style of skateboarders from that era, while decks built today are…

Participation in sports has become common among children and adults. Youth sports are a fun way for kids under 18 to participate in sports and have fun doing what they love. Some people argue that youth sports teach young athletes the value of teamwork and leadership. Others argue that youth sports have become too intense and competitive. I believe that youth sports have become too intense and competitive because of the increased injuries in young athletes and the attitude of parents and coaches…

Going into highschool I was very nervous about things like how much homework i'll have and classes being difficult. Freshman year I had a fairly large group of “friends” and I got good grades for the most part, although Spanish and Algebra were a struggle. After awhile my “friends” suddenly changed and decided they didn't like me anymore so I left and found a new group of friends, and i'm still good friends with all of them today. Sophomore year of highschool i've been getting pretty good…

Another question I have is how did an 80 year old woman survive the crash when all of her other friends died. Also a lot of those women were younger than her. Another question I have is how Jimmys skate bored saved…

In this particular episode of the podcast, 99% Invisible, Roman Mars explores unpleasant design, and how architecture and technology have contributed greatly to the depersonalization and sterilization of public spaces. One of the original methods of deterrence through design is sound, more aptly put, sound that is unpleasant or assaulting to the ears. The best example of this is something I myself heard about but never experienced (thankfully) throughout my adolescence. In an attempt to combat…

work on the washer, kick off my shoes and walk into the living room and turn on some good ol Youtube. I grab a some grub and go sit with my dog as I unwind from a day at school. I usually watch some video games, stuff about motorcycles or I watch skateboarding videos. Its nice being able to watch something relatable and familiar. Today I decide to watch some skate videos as they always throw a positive mood my way. When i'm done I turn off the tv and turn on some music and play with my dog. My…
