Back when I was six, I went to Egypt. When I was in Alexandria (or possibly Cairo?) my cousins took me to a place where they would skateboard and gave me one to use. I was six and had never been on one before, so I just sat on the board and slid down the hills at the skate park. They tried to show me a few tricks, and by the end of my stay I could do a sick 2 second wheelie!!!!
Hahahaha, I eventually got one when I got back to the states but I never learned anything cool. I just used it to get me from one section of the neighborhood to the other. I wish I could have learned more, but LOL the internet was barely a thing and no one I knew had any experience, soo.
