Answer 1

Skate-boarding is something I picked up when I was about eleven years old. I’ve watched my brother skate with his friends and it just looked like a fun new thing to do. So it has become my favourite hobby until now.

I haven’t always skated but since I started I have felt that it’s been a part of my life. The more I skated around town, the more I fell in love with it. It gives me the feeling of total freedom and weightlessness as you glide through the air.

As I continued to skate I learned more and more about myself. I learned about my fears, my boundaries, and how to overcome them. I also learned about determination, to never give up, and I understood that the only reason I was afraid to try anything new was because I was afraid to lose. These are the important things that I can apply to different parts of my life in more ways than I would have ever imagined. I never would have thought when I began to skate that I would learn such useful things.

My hobby of skate-boarding also allows me to experience the feeling of peace. After taking out all of my aggression from the day on the board, I feel ten times better and so much more calm compared to the way I may have felt before. It has also helped me become much more open minded to other types of activities.

There are no limits to skateboarding. We always need good new skaters, so don’t stop skating. You definitely find it a great way to spend free time!
