Summer is coming!

The excitement from the time it turns to spring, the air begins to get warmer, the sun stays out for longer, the beach becomes a constant possibility of something to do!

The excitement before summer makes you feel so much better!

Today has been amazing! The sun is shining so bright we are able to walk around in shorts and not look like idiots because it’s no longer cold! Today has felt like a real summers day! Although still spring, days like this are joyous occasions for me and my best friend.

We started skating 2 years ago on my best friends 14th birthday, we were driving back from a day of horse riding, with the sun shining, sitting in the back seats, windows rolled down, singing to the tunes on the radio. Her dad and step mum sitting in the front laughing at how crazy we were. We stopped by the water front to eat the gigantic new york style pizza we had got and after finishing her dad brings out the skateboards. Me and her look at each other with terror in our eyes “are we really gonna try this” we say through what we think to be our crazy best friend, sister, twin telepathy. It looks like fun, so I say “why not!” I try it out first, very scared but I come back to her excited to keep skating! She freaks out and after a little while gives it a go. To say the least, from then on we were hooked! We went back to her house and for the rest of the evening skated up and down her street, trying to increase our speed and not fall over.

2 years have passed and we are still skating, only now with a bit more style than before haha. Today the sun was shining and although feeling sick from eating wayyy too much lollies and nachos grab the boards and run out to the middle of my street and start skating.

Skating is a mutual love for us. When we are together “Lets go skating!” we both love it and are always keen to go out and shred up the streets. No matter how many people stare at us, or the amount of people that say “you can’t even skate” when we walk into a shop holding our boards, we prove them wrong. Jamming pink floyd and relaxing as we cruse down the streets, we couldn’t be happier and with summer coming up this happiness only begins to escalate.
