spring

Spring is a great time of year. Its time when i can refresh playing football and skateing. I never mentioned that i like to skate did i? well i do and no im not that very good but i can do an ollie(easy), manual (easy), nose manual (easyish), pop shove it, reverse pop shove it, kiss the rail,casper,casper flip, and i can drop in. Im working on my nollie, kickflip, and heelflip. i know its not much but its something. my friend coby (he's in some of the paintball blogs) just got a new skateboard uncomplete for $55 and gave me his old board, which i thank him for because my old board was a piece of crap and ive had it for 2 years. the board he got was an element, and the one he gave me was an almost board, and my old board was an element too. I'm planning on making my next board to be a plan b or a flip board. on april 1st, the recs skatepark reopened and i went there that day. i dropped in on every ramp but 1. Iknow i suck but i cannot land a kickflip(i couldnt even come close to landing one), and i landed 5 of them one footed. there was a kid there named zack roberts, he was going to try and go as fast as he could and go towards the lowest kicker ramp there and fly over it and land and from the cement its like 6-8 feet tall. he messed up a few times, and then he got over it with his board and landed it but cracked his board in half. But it was totally worth it! There was also another skater there that, on the half pipe, he droped in and was tricking and stuff but when he went back up the slope ramp.... he cut his leg so bad that you could see the bone clearly... and it wasnt bleeding tht much tho.

Skateboarding luck

Hi, my name is bob. I LOVE to skateboard. I skateboard every day, and I’m pretty good too. Once I was invited to a skate comp once. If I won I would have been sponsored by DC shoes, plan B, and Circa. But when I was at the skate comp, I was going to do a spine transfer to a big spin. I pushed off the ground and went down the ramp. Then I did the spine transfer, started the big spin, but somehow my board flew out in front of me. I was 23 feet in the air. I fell and landed on my skateboard. My skateboard flew out in front of me, and I hit the ground hard. I had to go to the hospital. I had a broken leg, 2 broken ribs, and a broken arm, all on the left side of my body. Later I found out I had won the skate competition, and I got the sponsors.

random stuff

ok, im takeing a break from paintball blogs and writing about random things. The 1st thing is one of the games i want for the pc. The game is called Diablo 3. I will put a few pics on too. the game is not out yet and it is said to come out december 31. 2009, or the last day of this yr. I wish it would come out sooner but there are only 3 characters so far and i think theyre makeing more... at least i hope they are. The characters are the witchdoctor, the barbarian, and the assassin but i cannot find any pictures of the assassin. But if you go to http://www.blizzard.com/ and find diablo 3 theres a whole bunch of stuff that you can see on it and the assassin is there too. I am flipping out for that game because i have had diablo 2 lord of destruction the expansion set for 9 yrs about. I also have diablo and hellfire so i have the whole collection. Diablo 2 lod is my favorite game ever made. I have a lvl 84 paladin, a lvl 72 sorceress (which is now my best character), i also have a barbarian... currently in progress of being created. If you want to add me ass a friend on that game my acc name is lilsk8abrat and just whisper me whenever im on (which is almost all the time, besides when im takeing a break from the game). but thats the end of this section, and like i said i will put pics on and i will also add more to this as the game is created. The next thing is going to be about another pc game called ROME: Total War. That is my 2nd favorited game. This game is already out and it is an awesome game. If i would have considered it to someone id rate it a 9.5 for graphics, a 10 for game length, and a 9 for storyline. Seriously the game is great, and i would consider it to any1 who likes wars from like 500 b.c. with armys and builing and takeing over cities etc. theres over 50 provinces, including Rome, carthage etc. the 3 places you can be is house of brutii, house of julii, and house of scipii (all in rome). i will also add pics for this too.but thats all for now. my next blog will be about michigan hauntings which i live in mi. btw so i hope to right it soon

day 1 sec. 3

im back=] ok this is going to be about capture the flag on the lego field. Well on this field my team had the right side first and the castles are just sqareish and kinda small with no top and with a slpoed entrance. When the round started me and coby looked around first to set up our plan. then we went left and then forward. I split up and went half way behind the van,i saw a person from the other team trying to creep behind me and make me surrender, i turned around shot him from exactly 20 feet away and he started crying=]!!. i dont know but paintballs dont seem to hurt me that much but back to the story. After i shot the person i fell back towards the castle more i found coby and we found a path that the opposite team used to get to our base so me n him stayed there and defended. While i was defending i got 6 ppl out from that path and coby got 4. Later that round coby went to go closer to the path, got shot in the front private area and teared up,but didnt cry but he wouldnt stop complaining how bad it hurt. But somehow they got our flag and they won that round. On the second round my team was on the other side and me and coby stayed in the castle. I got hit in the head 3 mins after the beginning of the round and someone from the other team went out of the playing field and came back in from behind us and ambushed us and i got hit again (didnt break). I hit one of the two guys but the paintball didnt break on them. But not much happened this round and it was a tie, noone got the other teams flag the end more l8r

paintball round 2 day 1

ok im back with my round two day 1. This was the first round i played that day(im going out of order with the rounds). we were playing on the lego field and i was on the right side of the field that half round before we switched sides. When the round started my friend Coby and I ran to the middle left (it was a HUGE field). Then my other friend matt ran by us and his hopper fell off and the paintballs spilled everywhere, he got his hopper put it back on and continued. Later when i got out i had found that he lost it again and he forgot where it fell off. He got out then when we switched he had to get a new hopper. Then when the second round started me and coby ran up to the van. He sniped out to the left side i ran up further. I found myself laying next to 3 barrels 1 stacked upon another and 1 next to it. Turns out i was on the other side of the field already and i wasnt planning to rush to fast (just my strategy). Then i ran to the side next to the snake tubes and i ran up to the other side i got 11 people out durring this round so far. I came up from the back and i found out coby was at the same barrel set that i was and he was doing pretty well. I started sniping everyone from the back and in progress i got 4 people out. I didnt see it comeing tho. When i was sniping them i found out that coby got out and 2 of them found me and i tried to run but i got out=[ i got hit in the mask. AND THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE DAY I GOT HIT TONS OF TIMES AND ONLY TWO BROKE ON ME AND THAT WAS ON THE MASK. big owie. Then after this round i found matts old hopper and it was still filled with paintballs and he was right next to me and i grabbed it and started loading it into my hopper=]. THE END more later!

me playing paintball

once when i was playing paintball, i was playing on the urban field(one side gets a 2 story house, other team gets a bus with a base built around it) and we were playing capture the flag. My team was on the bus side first. Me and my best friend found a good position to get kills next to two trees that fell down, and i had a little hole i could shoot out of and he was fireing over the trees. I only had brought my hopper full of paintballs, i had no other ammo. Now seeing that it was a bad idea because by the second round i had 3 paintballs left in my hopper. When we had the house side, after i shot the 3 paintballs i pretty much just stayed in the house. Also a bad idea. There were 7 pros on the opposite team and only 2 on our team =[ thats just sad. But i thought i would be safe in the house right? turns out that 1 of the pros from the other team came up to one of the windows and started rapid fireing inside the house. By that time i was looking up to go up the stairs(we did have masks on). When the guy was fireing inside the house he hit me on the bottom left side of the jaw, the paintball did not break so it hurt like hell. Then i tried to leave the house, my mask was filled with paint and it was foggy so i couldnt see that well and i ran into the netting that keeps the outer boundarys clean lol. I got back up and ran to the side, although i wasnt out(THIS WHOLE TIME I KEPT ON ASKING PEOPLE FOR AMMO AND NOONE WOULD BE A TEAM PLAYER AND GIVE ME SOME AMMO) and this section took 1 hr out of 6 all in one day so there will be more later of this EXACT SAME DAY
