I have been skating for 14 years, and I love skating ramps, rails, ledges, flat ground, and even a little bit of freestyle. Have competed in some competitions and have been up and down the East Coast on all types of terrains. Grew up skating over manholes, sewage drains, hitting crusty curbs, and grinding gnarly pool coping. Have already been helping out friends and anyone I skate with whenever they can't quite get the trick nailed down, or even helping young ones with learning the basics. Sometimes, all you need is an outside point of view to see why the board doesn't flip the way you want it to. I understand how the board works with one's feet to make it flip a certain way, and where the weight needs to be for grinds
