  1. I’m 33, and a friend got me into e-boarding in early October. I’ve struggled with depression for a few years, and took a huge leap out of it when I brought my dog home from the forest for the first time ever; he’s wonderful and has helped me to feel more like I have a reason to be here. But skating gave me a vision of being happy, with my dog walking/jogging alongside me while I’m rolling along the street/sidewalk. That vision was fantastic enough to make me deeply want to learn to skate, which is definitely easier on an board (because I can feel the ride first, and learn the feel of balance of the kickoff). A month later, I’m finding it fun to learn a new skill. It clears my mind when I have to focus on the segments of the sidewalk that could make me fall; I just love the feeling of being on the edge of safety and injury, and having control over it. It makes me feel responsible, the sense of investing in my ~self~ is real, and my friend and I have another fun thing we can do together when we’re not hiking to waterfalls or going to live music venues.
