How to write a skate article about billy d

1. Intro – the most important news aspect of a skate event is the score. Who won? How did they win and what effect did the victory have? Also important is whether we are writing from a JRO perspective or a Billy D one. In this case, we will go with Billy D.

“Billy D landed a bs flip over the faux grass gap out through the ghoulish threshold bump/exploding run-up. JRO "certainly second" the first to attack the 5ft tall 9 foot long gap, is a savage. ”

2. More info – The above is enough for those who have a passing interest in the skating. However, skateboarding fans would want more information and you could give it to them in one or two paragraphs.

“The Boardwalk contest was without star skater Colin Fiske, suffering from a keyboard injury on some eggs of ego shit"

3. Quote – This is where you can provide a quote from a lurker or some dude. You can precede each saying with a lead-in paragraph or go straight into the quote.

Billy d was overheard saying "JRO was looking strong until the ground blew up under him after crossing the slough of despond" that's what we in the chutes and ladders business call a backslide...sheesh" strong though, he's always good competition, looks like he's been cycling some dball like arty over there, sitting on his stack of books."

"yeah and another thing..." said D Williams distractedly to someone one night at a party at 3am after a few beers"

4. The rest – Once you got the main information and key quotes out of the way, you can go on to describe the some random shit. Even better would be to describe just one or two tricks, the results and include more rubbish.

JRO was the first person to skate the gap. There were 100 people there. The food was free.Nate Reilly ate chips in a hot dog bun. JRO landed a kickflip. Tmac was almost sued once by this chick I knew from LA. There was a fake ass filmall skating. Pud was killing it. Filho noseblunted the box. The boardwalk is great. Everyone should skate the mini and give matty the greek a pound. no homo
