For those of you who are claiming that I skate everyday, I do not. Most days (in summer). So I went out skating. I was gonna meet one of my best friends. We hang a lot and he skates so I was gonna meet him at a spot we go to. It’s this ledge. It’s about a foot and a half inches high, so it’s pretty easy for me to ollie…so I often trick off it. I wasn’t trying too hard cuz I didn’t have anything to drink. And I tire easy haha. Well, on my way I saw this kid I hate. He followed me and I ran away laughing. I got to the spot and met him. We did some tricks. I fell and my board flew into the street, almost getting run over. It was funny. I continued to skate. I did shoves, FS 180s, ollies, and nose grabs off it. I couldn’t really kickflip today xD. We then went to this place that had an obsticle we could use for a manny pad. If you don’t know what that is, it’s something kinda low and long so you ollie up it and manual off it. This one was like 15-20 feet long and 2 inches high. So I tried ollieing up it, into a manual, and float off without losing the manny. I did like 5 feet of manny and landed. I was happy. If you get bored skating, like me I have some advise.
- Try tricking off ledges. It feels good when you land it!
- Try rails. They are tough, but really fun…(my personal favorites…I need a rail.)
- Try vert skating (ramps). It could be your thing, not tricks.
- Try hitting stairs. Start with like a 3 or, if you can find it, a 2. I started with a 3.
- Try hitting different spots. Stay, and then leave to a different one.
So have fun skating!
-Ty xD
