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.
