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
