and because I got a homie that skates and swears up and down this is some shyt everyone needs to know how to do and to teach their kids on.


I never skated like that but knew people that did... just wasn’t my thing. But this dude swears up and down if you can’t skate then you can’t possibly do shyt with your kids.

And I mean rollerskates, not skateboarding or anything
