Kristina V.

My name is Kristina, and I am 14 years old. I have been skateboarding for four years. I love skateboarding because you can add your own style to it. Skateboarding allows you to feel free and creative, and I love that. The feeling of skateboarding is like no other. As soon as you get on the board all of your problems seem so small and irrelevant. If you ever see me on a skateboard, it’s always paired with contagious smiles that I hope I can spread across the world one day. I was ten when I first started skateboarding. I remember seeing amazing skaters like Sky Brown and Christian Hosoi, and I begged my mom to let me try it. Four years later I am still on the board having the time of my life! I hope to inspire other people through what I do, and show that anything is possible if you put your mind to it!
