Skateboards

I started skateboarding around ten years old and learned of the sport from my older brother. After that, I rode those four wheels until I was almost thirty. Skateboarding shaped who I am. It taught me a lot about perseverance, failure and friendships.

I purchased a ten pack of blank skateboards and have been working on creating a new one from time to time. The goal of this project is to identify how skateboarding shaped me into who I am and the memories that came from these experiences.

Bones: I broke thirteen bones and experience a lot of pain and triumph through it all.

Curb: I spent a lot of time sitting on a curb taking a break with my friends.

Fingerprint: skateboarding is unique, each person has a unique and special style and flavor to how they ride.
