About Max
Expertise
I have been skateboarding for around 7 years; I have extensive knowledge on street skating, including all sorts of flip tricks, tips on popping higher ollies, grinds, slides, rails, ledges, and park skating including transitions.

Experience
Before you email me asking "how do i kickflip??" you should practice it, what can I do, magically make you learn it? All I can do is give helpful tips, so try to ask serious questions, please. Also, I can and will not sponsor you, so don't bother asking.

Skateboarding - is there a chance?


Expert: Max - 7/18/2006

Question
I'm 11 years old almost 12,and I have been skating for 2 or 3 years off and on,nonstop for about 1 year.here is a list of tricks i can do kickflip,fakie,primo,reemo(backside primo),backside shuv-it,varial kickflip,primoflip,reemoflip and sometimes backside 180.I was wandering if there's much of a chance that I'll become pro?I plan to keep on skating.

Answer
It's hard to say because I can't see you skate. But what I can tell you is that if you do have the talent to go pro, you have a very long road ahead. Don't worry about all that though dude, you aren't going to have fun if you're caught up in the "cool factor" of skating; do it because you love it, and for no other reason. If you go pro, you go pro. If not, then you're just not cut out for that level of skateboarding. Only a very, very, very tiny percentage of skaters actually go pro, but you can still make it far nontheless. Just skate, and love it for what it is. The rest will come. Good luck.
