A benefit of skateboarding is that you gain pain tolerance. Even though you get scrapes, bruises, bumps, scars, aches, and pains, some people still love skateboarding and still ride their board. The saying "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" was probably meant for skating. if you skateboard and fall over all the time, then your brother kicks you in the shin, it doesn't hurt THAT much. Does not hurt that much because you are used to hurting yourself.

The skateboard I currently have is a Kryptonics cruiser. I outgrew it because I got it a long time ago. That's why a day or two ago, my Mom ordered me a different board.   The company's name is WhiteFang and instead of it being a cruiser, it is a actual skateboard that you can do tricks with, AND "cruise" with. I can not wait for it's arrival.

Our driveway is almost like a mini quarter pipe ramp. So because of that, I ride my skateboard up the "ramp", do a 180, and then I ride down the "ramp" doing it all without stopping once. It looks sort of like this.

The first day or two I was really silly and  I  thought it is not important to use a helmet, because I won't fall . (I thought this because I never really fell.) My Mom came outside one day to watch me but then she saw I was not wearing a helmet. My Mom is a nurse and she works with kids that had brain injuries from accidents like biking and crashing. She told me all about the importance of protecting my head/ brain. After she told me about this I always put my helmet on. She scared me a bit so when I was skateboarding I imagined how much it would hurt If I fell on my head WITHOUT a helmet. Now I always wear a helmet Recently , I fell and almost hit my head but my helmet was on. If I didn't have it on I could have got a concussion.

Since there wasn't much to do I started skateboarding in front of our house. I never done skateboarding in my life before, but I had a skateboard from a previous Christmas. The way I started skateboarding that I had so much spare time to spend outside without friends.One day I was looking for something in the garage and I found my old skateboard. When some people start skateboarding, they get lessons or a friend teaches them. I don't really have any friends who skateboard and with the social distancing, and current situation, I could not have them over anyway. I taught myself and practiced everyday for several hours . Eight days after I started I can skateboard pretty well now and able to do two good skate tricks.
