-Skateboarding Saved My Mind-

in #introduceyourself6 years ago (edited)

Ηello.
My name is Paul @nakamamongo
Ι am 25 years old and I've been skating for the last 12 years. I stop skateboarding for 4 years and that was a dark period of my life, i started drinking all day and doing nothing, the opposite that i used to do so i was sick, and thats why i just took my skateboard again and i went outside with @fTRCREW . My friend Ηaris @Knowhow92 helped me a lot with this, we used to skate together since we were kids and we still skate together everyday.
But lets start it from the begin, the whole thing with skateboarding started with my sister when i was 13 years old we took 2 skateboards from a store and we went to a parking lot to ride. I did not know how to ride my skateboard so i started ride it mongo, nobody told me how to do it, later i found skaters and they told me that this is wrong but now its too late guys i am a mongo pusher and i like beer.
Also i love skateboarding i think its great and has the power to help us all and as ASG said (Time takes the will away Not a moment to spare In the time it takes to reject the pain) thats what skateboarding doing it takes the pain away .
But 6 months ago i had an injury on my knee (ACL) its ok though because i am a Physiotherapist so i will fix it as soon as possible.
Skateboarding helped me getting through alcoholism so i am thankfull and will never let it go away from my life again, beacuse drinking beer after a skate session its ok but drinking beer at 11 in the morning its a fucking disease and who need this when you just can ride. right?
Anyway skateboarding is forever and as Pink Floyd said:

  • The grass was greener
    The light was brighter
    The taste was sweeter
    The nights of wonder
    With friends surrounded
    The dawn mist glowing
    The water flowing
    The endless river
    Forever and ever -
    So is skateboarding it's FOREVER AND EVER!
    keep skating with your friends and love life!
    THE CULTURE IS GREAT AND UNITES US!
