Well, most ppl wouldn't really get it, they probably don't have a sponser yet. But lemme tell ya: they can be seriously tough. Screw up on a trick, and they'll be picking at you like a big zit on your face. Lemme give you a couple of examples: It was one night, some ppl were filming all of these skaters. They called me since it was my turn, so I ran up and told them I was gunna kickflip and grind a rail, and end it with a frontside manual. They told me to go for it, and I got to the starting point. I looked back and saw all these people looking at me, putting a billion tons of pressure on my back. I took a deep breath, told myself that this is what I wanted to do my whole life. I pushed foward with my foot, bended my knees, lifted the front of my board when I heard someone sneeze and another person laugh. I slipped and rammed my head into a rail (Just a bruse, nothing harsh) They got all mad at me and they wouldn't let me off the hook. It wasn't even my fault. It wasn't until I got my skateboard and smashed a camera when they shut up about it. Another time was a little event at a local skatepark. There was a pool and a couple of halfpipes. I was owning the pool, doing all these funny tricks (Stuff like playing a banjo while doing a 180) A contestant threw a soda bottle at me (Note:It was glass) My head started bleeding and I got an headache, so I quitted, and I still don't hear the end of that. Well, now you know to be careful with ppl like that. Hope you like my stories! 3nodding
