Skateboarding has always been a massive part of my life for as long as I remember. Ever since I could walk I've had a skateboard with me and have developed my skills to a championship winning standard. Without it there would be a hole in my heart because it's a sport I do truly love, but it is a sport that has left me with a broken heart. 2 years previous my mother was killed in a car crash whilst we were travelling back from a competition. Since then I had slightly fallen out of love with skateboarding, shutting it away and locking it up to bury all memory of that night as deep as I could possibly without sending me in to an emotional breakdown. I blamed it for her death, my passion became her love which ultimately killed her. So I had got rid of my skateboard, slinging it into the nearest bin after her funeral and giving up on the sport that I love because without Mum around, I couldn't face it. She was my champion! At every meet holding up her "GO KIM!" sign with the biggest, proudest grin on her face. Without her there it didn't feel right. It didn't feel normal.

Okay, hi guys. This is thr prologue to my first writing expedition in a long, long time. It's based on the film Chalet Girl and follows the story of Kim Matthews. I'm basically retelling the story from a variety of character viewpoints as well as adding in my own scenes and details/depth. The chjaracters and most of the plot are NOT mine. I am just retelling and rewording! They are the rightful owners of the producers and scriptwriters etc. and all rights and reserves go to them. So yeah here it is, I hope whoever reads it enjoys it, that is if anyone reads it at all! Cheers. :) x
