life for a skater is hard but fun, you have your good days and your bad days, you really have to commit to it and practice everyday, or youre body will not be in tune with the flow and consistancy needed for skateboarding. you have to be able to take a hard fall, and you must never be afraid to fall, because "if you dont fall how will you know what its like to get back up."-roll bounce When you fall you must get back up(people will think your dead if not)or you will never be able to master this art. so my advice to all skaters is to practice every day, and never take out aggresion by snapping a board(it takes money to get a new one).
