#ForEveryPictureTheirAreAMillionWords
When I first seen this photograph I though #Perseverance. Skateboarders who have gone through this while trying a trick whether it be for filming or just at the park or out skating will understand what I mean. For the open community I would like to explain it through my own experiences and thoughts. When I am out skating it is inevitable that challenges come my way. To be honest there are days in which I have accepted them and others where I do not bother. By challenges I mean tricks that I know of have a feeling will be a struggle. To sit here and take you through a whole story about how I overcame a challenge myself might be meaningless in a sense that I am here to deliver a short message. While it might seem silly or unrealistic to many; these challenges in which we skateboarders encounter in a daily basis contribute to our growth as a person. Those challenges are what allows us to relate to bigger challenges that we will inevitably encounter. Those challenges that we persevere through are what motivates us to keep pushing through despite tough times. It allows us to have a mentality that we can achieve something because we do it daily on a piece of wood with wheels.
Perseverance: steadfastness in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success
