01:38 - I've been skating for one and a half years,
01:53 but I started coming here five months ago,
01:56 and this is currently the only outdoor skate park in Delhi.
01:59 And I hope there are a lot more,
02:01 so that more and more people start skating,
02:03 as I said, more and more girls start skating.
02:05 And this place, you could practice on your own,
02:10 or you could even take help from the mentors
02:12 that they have, like coaches and stuff.
02:13 So a lot of girls might get demotivated
02:16 because the first time you enter a skate park,
02:18 there are only guys around you,
02:19 or you're scared to just fall and get hurt,
02:21 or get some scars or something.
02:24 But I think these reasons are not good enough.

02:29 My family supports me a lot.
02:34 Like my mom, she even sent me abroad
02:37 to go and see all the skate parks,
02:40 the international skate parks.
02:41 And she always comes with me to every competition,
02:44 and she takes me to go practice in different,
02:46 like this is the only outdoor skate park in Delhi,
02:48 so she takes me to other cities as well
02:51 to practice in those skate parks.
02:52 And she really supports me.
