When I was a kid, he used to just hold me like when I was born or, like, always upset about something and just wanted to get stuff off my mind.

Augusto Skateboard.

There's really.

It's just you in the board.

And I guess unlike any other sport, it's a one person's view in the board.

Like everything.

Everybody speaks differently.

So you have your own staff or you have your own skateboard.

Everybody likes different things.

Skateboarding, to me, is just about expressing itself because that one person sports only, you, that's all that you have to worry about, to be honest with you, because worry about yourself and what you want to do is that's how it was.

I believe.

I thought it.

Kind of like sometimes it makes me feel real aggravated.

And I know he did from having a rough time with it, but usually like from stressed about anything, going skating just gets my mind off of it and it just feels like a empowering feeling.

Feels like good to push around and have that control, you know?

And also like skating with our friends, that's like mostly all we do, you know, skate, hang out, push around the city, build spots where we can and just like hang out.

One of the biggest fallacies and biggest myths isn't they're nothing but trouble.

All they're doing is fighting smoking.

We don't just dumb stuff.

These guys are athletes.

This is what these kids do.

They're not troublemakers.

They're here to learn how to do their tricks, to get better, to progress so they can move on.

Very rarely do you have the problems that you'll see people talk about on social media or even on some of the newspaper websites?

All it's going to be nothing but drugs and trouble and fights and gangs and shootings.

You're not going to see that in a skate park.

These guys here, you see riding, they push that element out.

We all stay connected with each other in a really special way.

And yeah, it's it's a great community among the skateboarders scooters, bikers inline roller blading.

Quote one Once someone does a trick, even if that's not sport, we all all because it's fascinating.

Many of us can win, but it's always worth it.

No matter how many times you mess up, no matter how many times you land the trick, even as soon as you land in a mess up, you take that glimpse around the park.

There's always a nice amount of people that say, Wow, okay, that was crazy.

And they know sometimes they give you tips and advice.

Oh yeah, that was actually pretty quick.

I love everybody here.

They have they're my brothers.

Everybody's my brother.

I love everybody.

New homies, all homies, all had young heads.

I love them all.

Everybody's welcome here.

If you need any pointers, ask me.

I got you.

Ask these guys.

They'll teach you.

They're glad you're out there doing it, that you're not sitting on the bench or sitting at home on a keyboard typing about how bad the skatepark is.

Not only will one come out to help help you, they hear you need help.

Don't all come off in a big group and show you what to do, how to stand on your board, or how to get off your scooter, how to get on your BMX bike.

They're going to show you nobody's going to chase you away.

Be that new guy.

At first, yeah, I was really intense.

I was just nervous.

I looked at everything and saw how good everybody was.

I was just intimidated by everybody at first.

Like, Yeah, I mean, we just got caught up there hanging out with us.

We could teach you only way to get better is to rather somebody is better than you and they can teach you how to do it.

We're all friends.

Like it's separate crews, but I mean, we're all good friends.

It's very, very cool and unified, you know?

I love it.

I don't know why I as soon as I wake up, I'm like, All right, let me go do what I have to do.

Take care where I got to do on the bike.

I just do an outside.

Like, honestly, that's man mainly one of the things like just being outside in general.

I hate being locked up in the house.

So me there's not much to do there.

I don't want to play video games all day.

I don't want to be eating pizza, tortilla rolls, all of that.

I just want to go outside.

Enjoy.

You have some exercise to.

95% of time.

I'm on the ground in the dirt part.

In that 5% of time where I'm not.

It's the best feeling in the world.

You can't get enough.

No, I get.

Every time I fall, it makes me more determined to land the trick better next time.

The more more you mess up, the more you learn.

The more you learn, the further it will take.

You and my friends, all the surrounding that I grew up with.

If it wasn't for skateboarding, I would have been.

I would have been bad.
