Hey, I'm Ian. I started skating after it wasn't really cool anymore...somewhere around the end of 8th grade. Then it got cool again, then it got lame again, up and down like the economy. At first I skated because it was a fad, but after it wasn't cool anymore, I realized that I was still skating. So it's been about 6ish years now....and I didn't really start going off on tricks until a few months ago. I'm a sophomore in college, and in the first semester I came back, I started just going off on tricks..sometimes learning two or three tricks every week. I guess I can say that I really only started having fun with skateboarding when I finally realized that it's not about being cool or the next Bam Margera...it's really about just doing what makes you happy and being yourself, and expressing yourself in a healthy way. Skateboarding is one of the healthiest activities that I've taken up in my life, and it's the most consistent. So...watch my videos, don't watch my videos, do what you want. Just stay positive and stay true. You will be rewarded for staying pure. ~ian < less
