Skateboarding

Skateboarding 

Talofa lava bloggers, Guess what we did. Math's, I would say yes but no. Reading? Nope Writing? NO NO NO well you Should've seen in the title but today we did.... skateboarding!

This was our first session but we have two sessions but only for this Friday. We had 40 minutes for one of the Sessions so in total that is 1 hour 20 minutes. We had two Coaches or Teachers named Ben and Lawrence and they were gonna teach us how to skateboard but first it's always safety first. So we had to put our helmets on for protection. This was actually one of the things I found hard because my head is so big. After that we picked a skateboard and we just had some free time to skate around. I found it hard to stand and ride the skateboard at the same time so I sat down  and used my hands to move after that we split into two groups. I was with Ben and we went to the basketball court to learn some new moves. 

First we were balancing. We were balancing with one foot on the skateboard and the other in the air. Then we did two lunges, then we got into the pose in the movie Karate kid and we did a ninja kick. I like to make the sound of a ninja kicking while doing that. HI-YA! After that we started learning and practicing some skateboard moves. We started by learning the move called Tick Tack. You had to put both your feet on your skateboard use the tail to lift up the nose of the board and move it in another direction quickly. I found this challenging and almost ended up giving up but I didn't cause I am persistent (kind of). The next move we did was the snake, for this move we had to move our toes and our heels on the skateboard to move the skateboard. I didn't find this really challenging. Then after that to my memory I think we played One Wolf pack. So basically its just red light green light fused with whats the time Mr wolf.  Except were using a Skateboard. Ben was the wolf the first round and it was tied between me Brittany and Brayden

Ben chose me but I didn't want to so I chose Brittany this time but I don't think we had time to finish it. So that was the end of the first session, later on that day we had our second session. We still had the same Coaches Ben and Lawrence. We got into the groups we were in the first session and we started to do our exercise. The same thing,  balancing on one foot in the air and the other on the skateboard, then two lunges and then a Ninja kick, HI-YA! then we practiced learning our moves. Then we started to learn some new moves. I don't remember what it was called but with flipped the board upside down, put our feet under it and flip it over with your feet and land on it. I found this hard but eventually I started getting the hang of this. Then we did another version. Its basically the same thing but its sideways and you jumped backwards. Its like the leap of faith. Then we played One wolf pack I think its called but it wasn't really fun. But for the rest of the time. We had free time. My friend Farhad got hurt but besides that it turned out to be really fun.
