Fletcher Renegar learned a valuable lesson last year when he competed in the Gatorade Free Flow Tour skateboarding finals.
You have to eat.
“I didn’t eat for like the whole day, so I had no energy,” the 16-year-old Ringgold, Ga., resident said. “So I learned a lesson there. This time I’ll eat and everything, and I should skate better.”
“This time” marks the third time Mr. Renegar has qualified for Free Flow Tour finals in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he’ll test his skateboarding skills on ramps, rails and half-pipes against some of the nation’s best skaters.
Although he’s qualified three times for the finals, he’s made it only once, in 2009.
