    This is a kickflip:

    And this is Mike giving it a try for the first time:

    Things didn't seem that promising in his first hour.

    Plus, the cat kept getting in the way.

    But pretty soon he landed an ollie.

    It was looking hopeful! Until the injuries started...

    Mike decided to purchase some shin pads and got his hands on a better skateboard to help him out a bit. Also, he put on a backwards hat because duh.

    Finally, after a change of scenery, he got it!

    Never give up on your dreams! Even if there's a cat in the way.
