Skateboarding

It's a way of life.
Without a doubt.

It's way cooler than any other "real sport" out there.
Just admit it.

We push the pavement with our foot, all across the city.
This beautiful city.

Born on the streets, raised on the streets.
Stoplights.
Concrete.
Stair Sets.
Gaps.
Hip Hop.
Loading Docks.
Curbs.
Kickflips.
Parking lots.
Blood.
Handrails.
Hessians.
Street life.
Family.
Homies.
Love.
Future.
Respect.

You might not like us.
We're cool with that.

We are a different kind of people.
We are skateboarders.

I'm a skater.
I enjoy skateboarding.
A hoodlum.
A street kid.

You laugh at me because I am different, but I laugh at you because you're all the same.

For life.
