Fourteenth Annual Reading Rainbow Contest

Skate Dreams

One Christmas I received my first skateboard.  It was a Ryan Sheckler (my favorite skateboarder) Ashbury Plan B skateboard.  I immediately loved skateboarding.  I wanted to be on a team named Plan B.  My first ollie (a jump in the air with your board) came about a month later.  My next trick, a shuvet, isn’t really a hard trick.  Your board spins 180 degrees.  One frustrating trick though, a kickflip, took me about a year to perfect.
