ABANDONS HIS FRIENDS
I think I might try get back into skateboarding this summer. I skated for about 3 years when I was younger and while I wasn't that great it was awesome fun. I can remember the day I finally managed a kickflip first attempt after a friend I skated with for a couple of weeks once a year on holiday told me "Stop turning, stay straight" - I'd been trying to land one since the year before.

Soon after I was able to pull off varial kickflips as well, and at my peak I was able to do sort of varial kickflip but the kickflip was actually an underflip, not sure if this is the proper name for it.

I've still got my board, so I just need some shoes, maybe new griptape and some sunshine for motivation.

I tried to get into it about a year ago but found myself exhausted pretty quick and unable to pull anything off, but I'm starting to cycle to work so hopefully I'll be in better shape by the time I give it a go.
