Maybe you've always ridden a skateboard. Maybe you left skateboarding but got pulled back in because they built a new skatepark in your town. Maybe seeing a longboard at your local shop inspired you to take it up again. Perhaps the new Dogtown film or the internet rekindled your interest. Whatever the case, you've come to the realization that skateboarding remains one of the most meaningful things in your life. However, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect between your love for skateboarding and what you see presented in the media.
