I caught up with Peter LeVeque in 1983. at a National Skateboarding Contest in Michigan. He was pacing in the parking lot and talking to himself about the tricks he wanted to try that day.   First, there was a simple aerial that he would land while traveling backward. Second, he wanted to do a flip trick during which his skateboard would rotate beneath him while he floated through the air. He would end his session with a series of tricks that he would not name. He would only say that the tricks were difficult.   LeVeque wasn’t always so confident. He did not do well in his first contest. The contest judges had given him very low scores.    The second contest was different. He won first place and shocked the audience with daring new tricks that no one had ever seen. What had changed?   LeVeque said that his father was in the audience during the first contest. After the competition, they went to a diner and talked.    Over dinner, LeVeque’s father expressed an interest in what Peter was trying to do with his skateboard. He had many ideas for new tricks.    Whenever LeVeque wanted to practice, his father was there, for every new trick and injury. “I broke a lot of bones in front of my dad,” LeVeque said. “It helped us bond.”   Today, Peter LeVeque is at the top of a heap of great skateboarders who have since retired. By the end of his career, he had won every contest he entered.   LeVeque gives a lot of the credit to his father. “He taught me that each trick is just a series of moves in chronological order. First you bend down. Then you jump with your right leg and kick your left leg out. Before you know it, you’re floating and the skateboard spins beneath you. If you do it the same way every time, you will land the way you want to every time.”   These days, when you watch LeVeque perform the tricks that made him famous, it doesn’t look like he’s thinking at all. Then, in a flash, you can see the mechanics of his movements. He seems to float through the air even though he is controlling each move.   He carries the same philosophy into his personal life. He owns his own business and has a family. “If you try to arrange things in steps, like a staircase, and keep moving forward, you will always find the top,” LeVeque said. “That is what skateboarding and my father taught me. Success comes one step at a time.”   I asked LeVeque if he had ever skipped a few steps here or there.   He smiled. “That was usually when I fell and broke something,” he said. “A lot of times it was my skateboard. Other times it was my head.”   The article is written in what Point of View? A. First Person Point of View

B. Second Person Point of View

C. Third Person Point of View

D. Third Person Omniscient Point of View​
