Introduction

My name is Mike Goehring. I have been skateboarding for over 10 years and would like to share with you the many things skateboarding has to offer.

Me Skateboarding in 2009

When I was 15 years old, I bought my first skateboard at a local skate shop in Topeka called Aces and Eights. The board featured a graphic made famous by the skateboarding game "Tony Hawk's Pro Skater." I have been skateboarding ever since. 

This blog will give a look at skateboarding from the view of a life-long skateboarder. I am going to talk about how to get started skateboarding and where to find the best products. I will also talk about the local skateboarding scene and where to find the best local parks and shops.
