Alex loved to ride his skateboard. He would spend every day after school at the skate park, going up and down the ramps and learning new tricks. His favorite new trick was called a kickflip. A kickflip is where you jump up, kick the skateboard so it does a flip, and then land on it. He felt free as he zoomed down the ramps.
