Stuff..........
I started skateboarding yesterday. It was a lot of fun actually. I mean, I've only been working at a skate park for.....a year and a half. Granted, for that time, I was aggressive skating, but that's boring. There's no challange in it for me anymore. When you skateboard, there is always a challange, no matter how good you are. Anyway, in the few hours that I as skatboarding, I learned how to ollie onto the manny pad (which is about 8 inches high off the ground, which may seem like nothing, bu I'd like to see you do it), I learned how to drop in, and started learning axle stalls on the 2 foot. What I found to be the most fun was that all the kids that skateboard there everyday were suprisingly supportive. I thought they were all going to be laughing at me when I screwed up, but instead that just applauded me for when I did things right, not to mention they were more than happy to give me advice and give me new tricks to learn. I love how I sound like some reporter going off to a foreign land and writing about the natives as if it were only a learning experience. It was a lot of fun, I think skateboarding might actually get me to go to the park other than to just work. Don't tell any of the skaters this, but the skateboarders are cooler...ssssshhhh
