Skateboarding

THUMP! The sound of a skateboard stopping by a foot . I thought this was going to be another boring Friday with maths, reading and writing but no. Instead we did skate boarding! I was quite nervous. I never really skateboarded so I thought I this was going to be the day one who needed help on everything but I didn't need any help! As soon as we were let out freely skating I was off my feet and on my skateboard. It was all happy and things until I can across a huge moutain of nervous people just waiting for someone to go. The real form was a ramp. Dun dun duuun! but before we get into that I want to tell you what we learnt. 

What we learnt:

As soon as we got out we got into a line like the line of skateboards infront of us. The first move we learnt was to balance on the skateboard. It was petty boring shortly after they said a bunch of things and then let us go. I was so good at it ateast thats what I thought. We got split up into a group and their were 2 groups the one who has all the people that think they can do it and one that c

an't. I thought I could do it so I joined that group. 

There we learnt the Tik taks, 50/50s, Not letting the skateboard go and playing games like "What's up wolf"?, free style, what the nose is and tail the nose is the front of the board and the tail is the back and not crashing into each other. Other things we learnt was lunges, balancing, touching the nose with our hands, to push with one foot and to skate and stay in one spot with our eyes closed.

Some poeple had a fixed mind set and other a grouth. Alot of people were postive too which I liked I also had a good aditude. Not much people were confident. I was though because I was having alot of fun and learning new skill. And it was alot of exersize and alot of people were encouraging me.

Anyway back to the ramp. First try, I stood up looking around all I could see was my friends cheering me on and looking back at the ramp. I placed my board down and I was breathing heavy and STOP I kicked down my board and started to slide down. After a few seconds I tilted back and the last thing I knew was me on the ground and with a grazed arm. Still I didnt give up I was determined to concer my foe. Second try I was on it ready to slide then STOMP! I slid down and started to be more confident. Then SLIP! I fell right on my back I didn't get grazed or anything just the impact. 

The last and third time I was sad and nervous that I couldn't do it but I was determind to finishedwhat I had started. I place my board down an got it lined up I rejected one of the couches help I was too confident to see what trouble I had got yself into. I started to hesitate  Then my friends started to help out by cheering me on. I then felt a adrinlane rush in my blood so STOP! I slid down then CRASH! I was disapointed and it made a huge cut in my knee. But the ramp might have won the battle but not the war. Mark my words ramp I will slide down you I wispeared into the wind. If that's not showing a growth mindset then I don't know what is?

I tried to do it at morning tea I came back with my board prepared of all the dangers of riding down the ramp. I go inside and just have to watch and feel my knee aching while seeing my classmates or roommate things skate. 

Anyway thanks for reading blog you later! If you have any spare time you could always come and comment. Thats only if you want to. bye!
