Giving skateboarding a try could be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Although it isn’t easy by any means, skating is so satisfying once you get the hang of it. Not only is it a good time, but it also can be a commodity for college students. Running late for class? If you have a skateboard, that isn’t a problem. I know I’ve been late for class before and wished I had a skateboard to get there quicker.

I sat down with Mike Ravaschiere, a sophomore at Rowan University, to discuss on-campus skateboarding. He had a lot of advice to offer to beginners who want to try skating and really laid out all of the positive aspects of skateboarding.
