S
ix months ago Dad bought me a skateboard. When he took me to the skate
shop I had a real hard time deciding what to buy. There was a lot of stuff I'd
never heard of before. The guy at the shop told us a lot of stuff about plastic
and durometer, but I just wanted the colors to match.
When I got home, I called my friends and we went skateboarding at the mall. They
told me I had a hot set up. At first I had a hard time just, standing on it. We skated
every day and we taught each other to ollie over cans. After a while we started trying
tricks like the guys in the magazines.
One time we all spent the night at Joey's 'cause his parents weren't home and they
always had a lot of junk food. After a while we got bored and decided to cut our hair.
I cut mine like Tony Hawk's, but it looked a little weird 'cause I accidentally cut part
of it too short in the back. It was kind of sketchy, but I liked it anyway.
When I got home, Mom got pissed and took my board away for two weeks. She
swore at Dad for buying it for me and said something about hospital bills and degenerate
kids and told me to go to my room. I was bummed and decided to ask Dad what degenerate
meant.
That week I thought I was going to go crazy, but on Wednesday I found out where
Mom hid my board. Somehow I managed to put it back every day before she found out.
For about three months my friends and I skated around the city. One day we found
a bank with lots of graffiti on it, and we tried doing boneless ones. We came back
a few days later and there were five real good skaters there. We wanted to skate too,
but we didn't want to get in the way.
We said "Hi" to them and asked them what kinds of boards they had, but they
didn't seem very friendly. After a while we left 'cause we felt sorta weird. One of them
had pointed at me and the others laughed, but I couldn't hear what they said.
We went to the bank again and no one was there. We had fun practicing ollies and
seeing who could do the best boneless ones. One day when we were at the shop, we
heard about a ramp and we went to check it out 'cause we'd never ridden one before.

Skater
by Leana Air
There were a lot of skaters on the ramp. We thought they might run into each other,
but they didn't.
A guy yelled, "Are you kids gonna ride or just stand there and pose?" A couple
of them laughed, and they just kept on skating.
My friend stayed to watch, but I had to go home for dinner. On the way I skated
at the 7-11 parking lot. I went in to get some M&M's and this kid asked me if I grinded.
I said not yet, and he told me to just keep practicing.
When I got home, Mom started yelling 'cause I was late. After dinner I asked Dad
if we could build a ramp in the backyard, and he said no because of insurance. Later,
Mom came to my room to remind me that soccer practice started in two days. I was
glad because I was pretty good at soccer and no one would laugh at me.
I went to the ramp the next day and tried to skate it. I was glad no one was there
'cause I fell down a lot and I felt really stupid. After about an hour I could sort of
do fakies. I was happy and thought about how stoked my friends would be for me.
My legs started to cramp so I climbed on top of the ramp to take a break. I guess
I was daydreaming 'cause I looked over and four skaters were walking towards the
ramp. One of them said something to me, so I waved. I saw them laugh and I wanted
to disappear. I got down to get my board when one of them grabbed it. He said something
about how pretty it was with matching colors and stickers. They told me real skaters
grind and don't care about that stuff. They said I was a punk kid with a rich dad.
They said if I was a real skater I would be riding instead of sitting on the ramp. Then
they threw my board down, laughed and started talking to each other like I didn't exist.
I skated home the long way. I thought about a lot of things 'cause I was kind of
depressed. When I got home, Mom started yelling because soccer practice was tomor-
row and I had scrapes on my knees and elbows. (As if I wouldn't get dirty tomorrow...).
She told me I was a disgrace, took my board and said I couldn't have it back till soccer
season was over.
I looked at mom while she was yelling at me, and she reminded me of the guys
at the ramp. Seemed like everyone had something to say to me, but they didn't say
anything useful. I decided I wasn't gonna be like that when I grew up. Besides, it didn't
matter 'cause soccer practice started tomorrow.
