Published 06 September 2023

If you think skateboarding looks hard, you'd be correct. But it's also heaps of fun, a good way to get out in the sunshine and can help you make new mates.

Skaters Billy, Dave and James chat about how they got into skating, how its helped them and lessons they've learnt from it. Give it a watch if you want to learn more about the skating life and/or wanna see some cool tricks.

Read the transcript.

Just get a board and just keep going. Don't stop trying. It's hard, but you get there.

Billy, 14.
