Flying on a Skateboard


When someone asks me what it feels like to go skateboarding I usually find it hard to come up with an explanation that adequately describes how I truly feel. Well, it is definitely not like riding a bicycle, or a rollercoaster, skateboarding gives a much higher feeling. Most people who are not natural skateboarders or who have never been on a skate will never understand the sense of freedom that we skateboarders feel. The feeling is hard to explain to those who understand the concept of skating. You feel a sense of flying in the air with the wind going through you. Every now and again you touch the ground with a reminder that you are really not flying. Now and again the feeling returns as you do little touchdowns. Outside of flips and kicks, the aim of skateboarding is to just have free spirited fun.
