Learning to Skateboard

My cousin brought me a used skateboard for my thirteenth birthday. The wheels were pink and the bottom had cool graffiti stickers.

On the first day, I fell four times in the driveway. My knee hurt for a whole week. But my cousin said everyone starts like that.

After a month of practice, I can now push off and ride all the way to the corner store. Next goal: learn a clean ollie before summer.
