I went to Rashad's house today. He wasn't there, cause he was getting his hair redone over. But James, Devon, and Justin were, though. I greeted James and showed him the Slipknot hoodie I stole from Mauricio. James opens his mouth, and I fall into shock. He recently got braces. Yes. Braces. I shit you not. So we skated the court infront of Rashad's house. I watch James bust some flatland (Not landing many attempts. >_>) Then I go for a kickflip. That is where I discovered what the hell I was doing wrong when I tried to ollie. I didn't slide my foot up enough. Thats the problem. So then I correct myself, and find myself ollieing higher and landing it more. So his Uncle Tom comes to pick us up around 6:30. It was dark as all hell. He spotted us skating, so he sits on his car and starts coaching us and giving us pointers. By the intelligence of his pointers, I sweared that he used to skate. But he doesn't, he just watches skate videos. He told me what was wrong with my pop shove-its. I didn't lift my backfoot up. So I corrected that, and landed more. Then at another attempt, I landed, but I also heard a huge crack. I thought I broke Justin's practice board, the board he loaned me until I get my new ones. James asked, "Dude, did you break the board?" I didn't know. It wasn't broken. But I look at the bottom of the deck and see not a huge line, but vunerable enough that landing in the same spot means it's death. Justin got pissed at me. But then I'm like "Dude. You have 2 fucking boards." The board he gave me was his old Enjoi board. Right now he uses World Industries. What the hell? Whatever. But then, I got pissed at myslef. My self-esteem started picking at me. The only self-esteem problem I have is my weight. It doesn't get in the way often, but it bothers the shit outta me. Only time it does is if I break something while just standing on it.
I thinking I should get my hair dyed. Not all of it, but maybe get some tips done. I'm thinking red+green? I dunno. Anybody who's seen me in person, what do you suggest?
