In my childhood, I loved everything on wheels. I fancied bicycles, toy cars, toy chariots, and the likes. I was blown away the first time I set my eyes on boots that had wheels beneath them. Image Source
It was the most fascinating thing i had ever seen. Because I really wanted to try them out, I pleaded with my mother to buy me a pair and thankfully, she did.
Since no one was there to teach me and there were no smart phones to access the internet (which was quite a new discovery) at that time, I had to learn to ride on my own. And unlike the skillful kid in the picture above, I had no protective gear 😂
I later discovered and joined a skate club called Full Force; where I was taught how to jump and do some cool tricks. Years later when I got to the university, I joined a campus club called Horizons. Over there, I learnt more tricks including risky ones.
Before successfully learning a trick, you must be able to overcome your fears and try to do it. This made me a very courageous person. Practice made me a better skater over time and also kept me in good shape.
I recommend skating for everyone because it is truly a fun sport that has many health benefits.
