                  One Christmas I received my first skateboard.  It was a Ryan Sheckler (my favorite  skateboarder) Ashbury Plan B skateboard.   I immediately loved skateboarding.   I wanted to be on a team named Plan B.   My first ollie (a jump in the air with your board) came about a month  later.  My next trick, a shuvet, isn’t  really a hard trick.  Your board spins  180 degrees.  One frustrating trick  though, a kickflip, took me about a year to perfect.
