Growing into Me

So once upon a time in the summer of 2011 my life changed. I was a skater kid who grew up being taught it was un-acceptable to skateboard because skateboarding was for immature hooligans who need to grow up, But when I was told that I laughed and said hey if you took the time and really chilled you would understand that what we do is an art and a passion. So years later after the lifestyle and the passion faded for new things such as music n girls in my life. I soon came to learn that skateboarding was the one thing that brought me peace, of course it was thanks to my old skate buddies I started to talk and chill with again. So they invited me out boarding for old time sake, we shredded castledowns park and well as we always did we had fun and began to get back into the love for it. That brought me alot of peace because well my life at the time was full of chaos and miss understanding due to life lesson and such. So not only did I meet up with old amazing bro's, I started finding a place of peace and tranquility in life again through well the most amazing sport Skateboarding. So later on the summer season when the sun came out hot an the rain slowly faded finally in this long crappy summer, my friend Justin decided to go hey, dude you really should enter in this comp we all heard about in Leduc sponsored by "Rumor" so as all guys do we step up to the challenge. So as I went to this comp I found out I had won best trick! Booyah! fun time great skaters and walked away with a little local fame. Later that week my friend who bikes for rockstar calls me up and introduces me to the Edmonton, Rep. Amazing bro that I now chill with an am happy to have met for all reasons. Me and him meet an instantly know we gotta work together some how in life cause were naturally good bro's who love the rush of life. So later on down the road he leaves me clothes from rockstar canada and some boards. So I found out wow im being sponsored! Only a dream that most people wish but never find comes true is at my door step, So of course as a smart young man in the adult hood should take it, I do. I've been skating for rockstar canada now for almost 7 months and am the happiest guy knowing that in the skateboard career as I always thought it was a dream, I got to be the lucky dude and have a chance to make it big and let you know anything can happen! So Don't forget even in the dimmest of skies, the sun will shine down if your heart asks it to!
