Two younger kids rolled by my house today on their skateboards. They said they've been watching me skate every day, and they were wondering if I could "help them out"
I explained to them that I, myself, am just now learning... but offered them to stay and skate with me. It felt nice knowing I was inspiring somebody else to try. As we all know, if you never START... you'll never SKATE. It all begins with the desire to begin. To go out there, and TRY.
By the end of the day, I had helped one of them get his first ollie!! His excitement reminded me of MY first time popping an ollie. The feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment! It was completely gratifying to be apart of that experience. I invited them to stop by whenever to skate; and hope they do!
