When you’re learning a new trick, it usually takes a while to pull it off. It takes a huge amount of practice, and a lot of failed attempts and bailouts before you ultimately land that great new trick, and begin to do the trick on a regular basis.
When you land a trick for the first time though, the high of adrenaline that you feel is just absolutely phenomenal. I love skateboarding for the adrenaline high. That adrenaline high time while skateboarding is enough to make me want to keep continue to skateboard.
Skateboarding is a very extreme sport and can be very dangerous, and that danger again produces that ultimate adrenaline high for me. Doing the tricks and actually landing them correctly is yet another ultimate adrenaline high I get from skateboarding.
There’s a fantastic feeling that comes with skateboarding, and as you shoot along with the wind rushing through your hair; you pop up into the air, and land back on your skateboard, and the adrenaline rushes right through you. The adrenaline you feel is awesome, and there is no greater feeling in the world than a skateboarding adrenaline rush.
Skateboarding for the adrenaline rush truly is amazing to me. For me mastering a new or complicated trick for the first time is where the best adrenaline rush comes from. It does not matter to me whether I am pulling off a new trick, or rocking out the old ones. If I am skateboarding, the adrenaline will still be pumping through me for minutes after completing or trying to complete a new trick no matter if I land wrong, and for me this is what attracts me to skateboarding.
It takes a lot of time and effort to become a good skateboarder, and to pull off some of the hardest tricks in the sport it still takes years of practice to become a professional skateboarder. Tony Hawk was the biggest influence on me to try skateboarding, ever since the first time I got on deck, the adrenaline was rushing through me and that pushes me to try to become a professional skateboarder. By watching the X-games on ESPN I was instantly hooked on Tony Hawk and since that day I have been trying to become a professional skateboarder myself.
