Skateboading and my life
My Blog: Tuesday, February 20, 2007
MY NAME IS RON BUTLER (Prodi-G) AND
THIS IS SKATEBOARDING AND MY LIFE

    Skateboarding has changed my life for the better. Skating has taught me great discipline in the fact that it takes time to perfect tricks and so forth. The flips, grinds, jumps, and grabs all take practice, and practice takes time. Skating has also helped me make more friends. Skating has also given me more confidence.

    I started skating about 2-3 maybe 4 years ago. I always used to see it on TV and i always played the games (tony hawk games), and I always wanted to do it. One day i was down the street and got one of my friends board and to my surprise didn't fall off the moment my foot got on it. Ever since I have been i love with skateboarding. The lifestyle the tricks, the feeling of success and fun and freedom it provides. I always liked it but once i did my first stationary ollie i fell in love with it. The ollie wasn't the first jumping move i learned it was actually the boneless 180, somehow i naturally did a 180 when i learned it and then learned to do it without the spin. There would be and still will be times when i wont land a trick and get ticked but i just pick up from where i left off and go at it again; this taught me discipline, and perseverance.

    Before i started skating i did have friends, i actually had a decent amount. Once i started skateboarding i made met people i never knew existed, and became friends with them. I met people at parks, and people took notice to me when i would skate at my high school and would come check out whats up. Some people didn't believe i could do it cause i am black but i proved them wrong and got some respect and made more friends. Now i have more friends than i remember making.

    Before I started skateboarding i honestly had little confidence in myself with many things i.e. talking to girls, making friends, and so forth. Once I started skating and learned to at least manual, and boneless I wasn't very nervous around girls and i wasn't so shy around people in general. Skating over all has helped to boost my confidence and allow me to do things i normally wouldn't have done.

The lifestyle of skating is just amazing, being different is fun and just feels good. To be able to break away from the normal stereotypes of the ghetto black child just was something i wanted to do and skating helped. It kept me away from drugs, gangs, and violence which is very much the opposite of what most of society thinks about what skateboarding does to teens or people of any age, race or sex.

    In all skateboarding has done soooo many great things for me in my life over the past 4 years. I have fallen and gotten some scars but that has never stopped me and never will so i will skate until i no longer able to.
THAT IS SKATEBOARDING AND MY LIFE
