SKATEBOARDING
By Danny Wood
Do you know your half pipe from your heel flip? Danny explains the basics - one trick is like doing a karate kick in mid air. He describes the best feeling ever: when you finally pull off a move that you've been trying for so long. Although you can dress how you want, Danny wears all the gear. Well you're not gonna skate proper good in sandals are you?

I'd love to skateboard...i would need a really good teacher and i don't really have any friends that skateboard like i used to!! i would really need to have a boyfriend that skateboards to teach me,sadly my boyfriend doesn't skateboard and he's 20 so no point in starting :(

the 360 flip is a very comment trick today but it still is a technical trick to learn. i can land them sometimes and sometimes i don't. i have to be in the mood.

I think Danny has completely got the right frame of mind about skating. Some people just wanna do it for money but Danny does it cos he loves it, just like me.
