The Grom Zine Issue #1: Your Story

A skateboarding starter book for kids finding their own way.

Skateboarding doesn’t start with big tricks.
It starts with trying.

This book was made for kids who are getting into skating, figuring things out, falling, getting back up, and starting to find their own style.

It’s not about being the best.
It’s about paying attention to your own progress, your own ideas, and your own way of skating.

Inside, they’ll find space to:

• tell their skate story
• set goals that actually matter to them
• track a trick they worked for
• reflect on what they’re learning along the way

There’s no right way to use it.
They can write, draw, mess it up, come back to it.

That’s part of it.

Why it’s different

Most skate resources focus on tricks.
This one focuses on the person skating them.

It helps kids:

• build confidence
• stay consistent
• feel connected to what they’re doing

What’s included

• Guided pages for skate story + goals
• A “trick I fought for” reflection page
• A comparison reset page (to help kids stay focused on their own path)
• Simple prompts that build awareness, not pressure
  

Format

• Digital download (PDF)
• Printable at home
• Can be reused again and again

Start where you are.
That’s enough.

Designed for young skaters (approx. ages 8–12)

Perfect for:

• kids starting skateboarding
• parents looking for something creative + active
• skaters who want to track their progress
