I love skateboarding and I always have, I started skateboarding probably when I was three years old. By 1976 I was already riding some little balls and stuff. In middle school a friend made a long board skateboard for me in wood shopping. It really felt like surfing. So I always liked my long board and just riding on hill just felt real surfy. I guess what motivates me to skateboard as much as I can is the feeling I get when I'm on a skateboard is just really right. It feels good when I'm on a skateboard it's really comfortable. I feel more comfortable on my skateboard than probably anything. Just being with friends outside, healthy, productive. Longboarding has been something to me that connects me to surfing when the waves aren't good or whatever. Surfing can be a really arduous process waiting for waves and you know working and driving and stuff where it's skateboarding you can do almost any day wherever you want. It's there for me every day. Surfing is never left me and I hope I never leave it. My name's Brad Edwards and I love skateboard. you
