So two days ago my friends and I were standing around in Khan Market (I live in India now, remember. This is important) deciding where to go skate that day when these two ladies walk up to us. They ask us about our skating a bit and mention something about their client wanting to represent skateboarding or something. We're like "Ok, we might as well see what the hell they're talking about" and we exchange phone numbers with them and go skate.
Now today after school we went to meet with them to discuss whatever they were talking about a bit further. It turns out that they're representatives from Mountain Dew. They want us to do demonstrations around Delhi that hold a bit of a crowd so they can do their subliminal advertising thing. We're really not that great at skating (our best couldn't even be an am) but since a majority of Indians hasn't ever seen people skating we always draw a crowd. With the music that they said they'll give us, it'll be easy to hold a crowd.
The best part, though, is what they're offering us. They mentioned that they'd pay us at least 5,000 rupees (about 115 USD) for a 30 minute demonstration. This is insanely easy money! It's great! What we have to do now is put together a 5-10 minute video of us showing off for them to look at. With any luck we could be making lots of money (for highschoolers) after summer vacation.

Now I need to get a lot better, fast. (Though I'm not too worried. Just need to work on ollieing gaps).

Get them to pay you in Mountain Dew, silly!

Skateboardings easy to learn, but usually it involves just overcoming your fears of messing up. Just go for it. And wear protective padding/whatever because when I did it, I used to NEED it.

I know how to skateboard. I just need to get so I can ollie a bit more impressive stuff.

(Which yeah, is the whole fear of messing up thing)

That's pretty cool.

*moves to India*

I have been skating since 7th grade and can almost land a kickflip...ALMOST:mad:

That's awesome. I hope you get the job, because that would rock.
