Incorperate "You" Into Your Skating

When I say incorporate "You" into your skating what I am trying to convey is that everyone is an individual and it should show through their skating, this is a huge issue now a days in my opinion.  All of these skate board videos and competitions on television make it seem as if there is only one way to skate board.  The idea that there is only one way to skate has essentially taken allot of the joy from skating for many skaters and has made it almost into a part time job.  Rather than going to the skate park and skating just for the fun of it, I have run into individuals who have called it training.  Personally I find this pretty pathetic and this kind of attitude just ruins the joy that skating can bring.  When skate boarding if you are a goofy kid, display through your skating.  An example of this would be doing tricks such as the lunch break which is pretty much the goofiest trick ever.  Another example would be is that I also break dance so I usually incorporate hand stands and flips into my lines.  I am not saying that you should skate according to your attitude solely, but if you want to incorporate your personality into your skating don't hold back.  I have been to plenty of parks and have seen hundreds of carbon copy skaters who all dress the same, act the same, do the same lines, and skate the park in the exact same way.  Being this way defeats the purpose of skating which is to have fun and is an excellent form of self expression.
