How it all started?So roughly In 2018 as far as I can remember, I went casually to visit my relatives in Mapusa. I saw one fine looking skateboard under their bed and I had no idea about it. I asked them if they dont mind me taking it for a couple of days to learn how to ride it, to which they agreed to :), and my skateboarding journey began. I tried to figure out how to get on board, watched a few beginner videos on skateboarding on Youtube. One mistake I did was, I started to push mongo which I had very hard time correcting later.
I think most people can agree that skateboarding is "cool". I'd be lying if I said I started skateboarding to become a monk and live a humble life. No, I started because I met awesome people who: dressed cool, listened to cool music, skated (of course) and looked like they were having a ton of fun doing it. We instantly became good friends, with skateboarding being in the mix which created the glue that binded us together.
As far as I can remember from my childhood days, I have faint memories of few people riding a skateboard and doing tricks. I cannot recollect which year it was though to be specific. When I was 8, I got on a skateboard for the first time in my life. One of our friends whipped out a skateboard one random day, and everyone wanted to try it out. We all did, I stood on the board for a long 2 seconds before I took a hard slam haha!
We all have that burning fire within us which always pushes us beyond limits. That fire can either burn us or direct towards a vision if we are focused enough. If all our energies work in a sync and in focused manner on what we want to create and really care for then the fire will turn fierce and propel towards it with full force.
