Cowabunga! Skateboard is super sweet. I use it to get around throughout the day, but it's also an artform to me
That is awesome, I love seeing skateboarders throughout the city! Can you do any tricks?
Yeah but I have to be careful, because where I live it's actually illegal to skate most places since it destroys curbs and benches and stuff
Oh that is unfortunate, maybe you can try and find a local skate park! You and other skateboarders can go there! 
Yeah and then I'll practice and get good enough to grab a slice of the $4.8 billion a year skateboarding makes worldwide!
That is a crazy number! Do you have a favorite skateboarder you look up to? 
The one and only Rodney Mullen. Thought to be the most influential skater ever and invented a bunch of tricks, including the KICKFLIP ITSELF!
Rodney Mullen is awesome. Growing up I used to see him in magazines doing all sorts of crazy tricks. A true legend.
