Andrew's Slide
Hello! My name is Andrew Bowers!
My passion is skateboarding. I can skate whenever and wherever. I have been skating since I was 5 years old in kindergarten. I raced in my first skateboard competition when I was 9. Its called the Broad Street Bomb it goes from Huntington Park to FDR Park. I was the youngest rider to race it ever. The most recent race I attended was the Broadway bomb. It goes from Riverside Dr & W 116th to Charging Bull, Broadway & Morris St which is 8 miles. I was racing against the world's fastest rider Kiefer Dixon who got first 7 years in a row. I got 10 the just a few minutes behind One day I hope to be as fast as him.
I picked this picture because it's of me doing a kickflip on my skateboard and I wanted to show you my move so you don't think I'm a poser. I also enlarge the photo and made It bleed off the page because my research shows that making your picture bleed off the paper is more pleasing. I also edited the pictures background to be black because it was all colorful and if I would've left it as a very colorful slide it would have looked like too much was going on. Also, the pop of yellow draws your attention to the board. That's why I picked the picture because it’s easy on the eyes and there’s not a lot that’s going on in the picture.
I picked this phrase because it has a double meaning. One of them means you have to keep working and you will get what you want to achieve. The second meaning being performing a skateboard trick known as “the GRIIIIIIIIIIIND”. I learned how to make a great side and use tricks to help my sides look a lot better. Thank you Ms. Hull.
