Reason:

My dad had some friends who were skateboarders and I started riding with them on the street, but my skateboard was too big for me and I didn't have that much strength in my legs yet. But I practised a lot and I got to a point where I didn't have so much trouble anymore." (dewtour.com, 15 Jul 2020)
