skateboarding is one of my favorite hobbies that i decided to to do. i first got into skateboarding thanks to my friend in high school. one day we were walking through the streets of downtown Manhattan and he brought his new skateboard that he just a few days before. he let me ride use it and while i was very new to it and i kept slipping off the board, it was really fun. coincidentally that was my final week after working at McDonalds and i just got my last check. he then convinced me to use it to buy a skateboard at Zumiez and i was definitely on board. we then went to Zumiez and i was able to get a custom built skateboard and it looked so good and it was the best purchase I’ve ever made. i would skate board all the time with my friend at night through central park. that was almost 5 years ago and i still use that board to this day.
