Frosh Friday: wrestling longboarder looks forward to tackling high school
Name: Dimitri Antoniou
Middle School: Middle School North
Q: What are you most excited for going into high school?
A: Sports. Mainly wrestling because I was on the wrestling team in middle school. I’m going to try out for the high school team as well.
Q: What do you like about wrestling?
A: It’s competitive. I like competition. It’s also hard work. If you do wrestling, you are in the best shape of your life, so that’s nice. It’s a way to take out anger and stuff as well.
Q: Did your enjoyment of wrestling lead to any wins?
A: I was okay. Not the best on the team. I didn’t win every match of course but I was still better than the average person.
Q: What is your favorite thing to do in your free time?
A: Longboarding with my friends. I go just about every day if it isn’t raining.
Q: What have you learned about yourself and your skills at longboarding?
A: I’m okay, well, pretty bad. I’ll do some stupid stuff sometimes like not paying attention and putting my foot in the wrong place then falling off. I’ll hit a rock sometimes. Other than that I’m okay. I can cruise around and turn really fast. I can do some sliding stuff too. You don’t have to worry about anything you’re carrying because it doesn’t matter on a longboard. I guess what I like about it is the feeling of a big board. You don’t have to worry about having your feet crunch together. It’s just the freedom of moving around everywhere.
