I am Brandon Thorson.I am a skateboarder who loves to skate and film skaters.I wonder if it¶s possible for me to go pro soon.I hear the sounds of grinding and rolling.

I see skaters grinding the hand rail.I want to meet a real pro skate boarder.I am a skateboarder who loves to skate and film skaters.

I pretend to be a pro skateboarder.I feel happy when I skate.

I touch the hearts of little skateboarders when I teach them to skate.I worry that my family will not support my career.I cry when I fall.I am a skateboarder who loves to skate and film skaters.

I under stand that it will take a long time to go pro.I say you can do anything if you put your mind to it.I dream I will go pro.I try to skate bigger and better every time I skate.I hope my brother can stay sober.I am a skateboarder who loves to skate and film skaters.

the end
