Your location shapes your skating style

Have a Look at William Spencer @iwilliamspencer. He grew up in Colorado, in the woods and discovered a way to skate by himself. He did what he envisioned could be how a skateboard can be practised and did it in his individual way. The location of Sir William shapes how he is skating

Getting everything without effort

My Friend Zenja Potapov @zenjapotapov who is an upcoming snowboarding talent stated a few years back that somebody who has a large skatepark and everything delivered on a silver plate would not skate as creatively as someone with a lack of resources. This idea has soundness to it because a shortage of resources tends to make people resourceful. Imagining creative ways to operate the game even without the perfect equipment. If you're grown up with all video games and all kinds of ice cream available, then you possess all you need and the requirement to think creatively is not there. For instance, if you have berries and food for the whole year, like in tropical spheres, there's no need to prepare for the wintertime and you won't learn how to plan for the winter

Getting all kinds of pleasures, and everything given without any challenge makes us dull and sad in the long run

Inventing problems in the skateboard life

Skateboarders create challenges and invent barriers for ourselves. When you see a bloke launching himself down The Hollywood high 16 stair and pedestrians grudgingly say ''Why does he do that to himself?''. The counterclaim is frequently that he is keeping himself from grief and stillness and is desirous for adventure and proving to himself that he possesses a skill. It's not a useless skill since it is beautiful and welcomed by the marketplace. He is playing with the danger of failure like a person advancing a business. The collapse is probable and it requires continual effort and active thinking to make the trick and succeed

The skateboard makes you into a different kind of person

The skatepark makes you do different kinds of tricks than the streets. The skatepark is made for skating. Unless you're in Barcelona, the streets are constructed for pedestrian functionality and not skating. In a skatepark, someone else did the thinking for you, in the streets you have to do the coordination for yourself. This is one reason street skating tricks is more highly honoured than skatepark tricks. Not the only reason, also objects are harder to overcome in the streets and it looks more authentic and becomes more precious because of that
