Greetings my friends.
I've been using Steemit for over half a year now and i'm uploading skate content and a little bit of fun videos almost every day but i never showed you or talked about my skating career before Steemit.
Alright,for anyone who is interested in finding more about me,my real name is Haris,i am 26 years old and i have been skating for the last 13 years.
I have worked hard to reach the level i am now since day one.Countless hours of skating,countless falls(some serious one's like bone fractures etc) and infinite amount of love has been put into what i'm doing.
So,my first video part was filmed in 2008.
It was my sponsor me video for Vans and a Greek skate company called Propaganda Rollin co.
Here is the link:
And yes,they hooked me up.That's when i really started skating hard because i was so hyped for riding for 2 huge companies.
A year later,i got a call from the Propaganda team manager and he said "Hey man we are going on a tour around Greece,are you in?" Of course i was in.I was only 17 at that time.
We hit the road for about 12 days and rolled in the best Greek spots.It was like a dream come true for me.
Check out the tour,my part starts at 4:13 :
So a year later,i moved to Thessaloniki city,Greece's second biggest city.I was skating all day because i thought i was gonna make a living out of skateboarding.Here is the first video i ended up with at the time:
Poor me.In Greece,the only sport you can make a living out of is football.After a year in Thessaloniki,economic crisis hit the country and long story short,i was out of the companies.
This was my last part for Propaganda Rollin co. and Vans(yes.i had dreadlocks) :
They wanted riders only from Athens,the capital of Greece because not a lot of people could advertise their product in cities where skateboarding wasn't that popular.No real support for skaters who were doing it with their heart.But i think that was for the best.I learnt to skate for my self,because the pressure of making parts for companies and uploading constantly was real.
So i moved back in Ioannina city and took a turn in my life.I started working and skating at the same time,but it felt good because i was skating with my homies and it was pure fun.No pressure to film tricks,nothing.Just rolling.
A couple of years later,after saving some money we arranged a skate tour in Barcelona,the worlds skate paradise.
We skated all day and all night and we managed to filmed this tour.12 minutes of skate footage in 6 days.What do you think about that?
As for now,my life has entered the right path,i work and i skate a lot.In my opinion,if i wasn't skateboarding my life would be completely empty.
Me, 
I would love to hear more about other #steemskaters lifes,as from the moment i entered the Steemit world,i found new people who i connected with and want to learn more about you guys.
Thanks for supporting me over the months and i promise i won't stop skating for as long as my body allows me to.
