Skateboard

When I was young I begged Dad to buy me a skateboard as my friend down the street had just got one - Andrew Mclure.
Finally, he relented and got me one - a red one.
I decided to go and try it out on the hill outside my house on Barrie St.
It was a big hill.
I probably got about half way down before the death wobbles struck. Before long I was flying through the air sans skateboard.
I landed several times in a neighbours front garden. I had a wart on my thumb that got clean knocked off.This was the only wart of I had ever had.
