WHY DO WE APPEAR?

  1. Skateboarding is a magical sport. Whenever I try a new move or venue, I will instinctively feel fear, then slowly get familiar with it, learn to control it, and finally let control and fear coexist.
  2. I never thought that I had overcome fear, but my familiarity with the venue and moves gave me more and more control. When the control is greater than the fear, I can skate freely.
  3. Skateboarders walk on the “endless road” of skateboarding with curiosity and desire to explore the unknown, and carefully collect a fear of the unknown.
  4. When I just started to skateboard, I was over 18. I am already an “old player” in the eyes of many people. Relatives and friends often ask me, what’s fun about this skateboard, how painful it is to fall, how old you are, isn’t this for children to play. All kinds of prejudices and doubts. I believe that many people will encounter the same opposition as me.
  5. From childhood to adulthood, we are used to listening to our parents and elders. They tell us that we have to do some “serious things” to make life meaningful.
  6. When I was a minor, there were indeed few things I really loved and worked hard to stick to. After the mind matures, I know better what I really want and what I want to achieve.
The first meaning of skateboarding to me is freedom. When I stand on the board, I can devote myself to it and think about nothing, away from the troubles in life. I really need this moment of peace and relaxation, feel the wind blowing on my cheeks, breathe the fresh air outdoors, and enjoy every scenery on the road. I immerse myself in all this and feel my free heartbeat.
The second is self-growth. It is not easy to master any skill proficiently. In this process, you will encounter many difficulties. The most interesting part is to overcome the difficulties one by one. It is true that you will fall when playing skateboarding. If you fall, you will feel very painful, very scared, and very resistant. And what we often need in life is this kind of courage to face fear and the spirit of getting up and moving forward. In most cases, social phobia can easily make friends at the skatepark. If you ask questions, even coaches who make money by teaching are willing to share their experience for free. This is a skateboarder.
If I happened to give you some help and advice on skateboarding, don’t thank me, thank those predecessors. Because when I was a novice, many veteran skaters also helped me selflessly. I have never signed up for a systematic course, but I have grown up in this way.
If I am not too bad at skating, it is because I have a group of excellent skaters around me. We are together, learning from each other, competing with each other in competitions, and improving because of this, forming a virtuous circle
So, I surf waves when there are waves, but I don’t skateboard waves. I think I will be a wind chasing girl for the rest of my life.
