My Life As A Skating Animal

Eagle

i think i'd probably be an eagle because i'm always flying through the air doing tricks. but i haven't got wings. so that's why i can't stay in the air as long as them.

glenn porter


i feel that when i'm on my blades i'm like a mix between a hawk and a lion. the hawk because when i skate i feel free and soar through the air. a lion because i also have an aggressive side when i skate and as a lion makes it his mission to catch his prey and won't stop until he's successful, so i keep trying tricks until i'm successful. so, in conclusion, i think i'm a LAWK.

chunk


i'd say i was a hamster in one of those little wheels because i'm always moving, except i don't live in a cage, eat seeds & crap on my own floor.

jordan


a fox, because it will go very fast, it can jump very far. i like a fox because he is not fat.

joseph powell


i believe most would describe me as a mouse and i would have to agree. when it comes to skating i'm a bit secretive about my abilities. i don't like people knowing what i can & can't do. i usually end up close to the ground when i skate but have never seriously bailed.

liza bergstrom


when i'm on a skateboard, i feel like a bear cub because i'm a girl skater who is learning to do things and even though i can't do many things like a bear cub i keep trying until i finally get the trick right. the bear cub moves slow when it's young and when it gets older it moves fast and i believe that i will be like that at first. i will be slow at learning the tricks, then i will get better and faster.

stephanie taylor


wolf. fast paced with lots of aggression, jumping over the transfer with ease.

edd dunning


a fish. never stops. i always try stuff and never stop. even when i fall. i move about like a fish. a live fish.

gareth howells


i think i'd be a nearly dead bird because i can't do many tricks. lots of tricks i do i fall because i can't land. i am too scared!

liam byers


chicken. i won't ollie drops over my neck or drop in from a mini-ramp. because i don't wait my turn.

gareth hill


i would be a penguin, because i try to fly and i fall, and i like penguins. i'm not very fast on a board. when i started boarding i was like a penguin on land - slow, clumsy, but now i'm like a penguin in water - agile and smooth.

richard woodward


i am a bee! a worker bee! buzz! i am dedicated to my cause and i only give up when my goal is executed perfectly but beware, if you piss me off you'll feel my sting! buzz buzz!

allyn jones


i would describe myself as a bit of a tiger because i feel that i'm a bit of a hunter for tricks and pain. for instance, when attempting my first 360 i fell a couple of times but when i eventually managed to grasp it, it felt as if i had just caught my food for the next few hours.

scott james


black panther. when i get on a skateboard i feel like a black panther because i love the colour black and i'm fast and furious. that's why i chose this animal to describe me.
