Skateboarding gives you a whole new…

Back in junior high school, I fell so much in love with hip hop music, which was frequently played on our local radio that I got inspired and began to form my own melodies and rhymes. With my new found love in hip-hop, I used to have a notebook, where I wrote down lyrics of popular hip-hop songs I listened to.
