Skateboarding has different
meanings for different people.
A board with wheels screwed
underneath it can mean anything you like. Then, of course,
there are deeper reasons for
which one choses to skate –
creativity, freedom, adrenaline,
starting over. And this is not
much different from many
things we do in our lives, in
our career choices, and with
our expectations about the
future. So let’s get it off the
