My intro to SkateHive

[7.11.2020] ReedVille Skatepark Tour and Session

Hello fellow hivers & skaters! My name is Matthew aka unorgmilitia, I'm an Oregonian and grew up in PDX.
I got my first pair of rollerblades as a birthday present from my nanny at the time, cos when I was 12 she was the only one with a stable enough income to buy me something like that.. those were Solomon ST1's size 7 (lol)

during that time from 12-13 in the summertime my mom would drop my off at the beaverton skatepark before work, and come pick me back up after work.. and she'd give me a few bucks to get some snacks
I met my friend Cory at the beaverton skatepark, and he is the one that really introduced me to "Aggressive inline skating" , and skating street.
by middle school my mom had found a good job, and I had stopped getting suspended and expelled from schools causing her to lose good jobs, so I was able to ask for a nice new pair of skates for my birthday, so we drove to NE Portland, to the only rollerblading skateshop in the whole PDX area, and I got my first pair of razors, which were the Mike "Murdah" Johnson pro boot, and they were so nice!!
