Depends really, there are so many factors you can change, but it all comes down to how you want to skate.

I like that skateboarding is hard. I makes u appreciate it so much more when u finally get something u have been trying. I like that it takes years of practice and aquifer skill to be a good skateboarder. It means that those who really stick with it are passionate about it because they have put their everything into getting better, not just those who do it as a fad.
It’s Sposed to be hard and I don’t think it should be easier.
My thoughts anywy wink

Quite a fair bit Mug_li to know about skating. PM what your essay is about and I can see what I give you in information.
