I’ve heard about parkouring before, but I’ve only seen the words, and not the world of it. So, last weekend, I was making a video with my friends for one of their classes, and there was this wall. This amazing wall. We all saw it, and my friend said, “let’s parkour it.” My mind randomly turned on, and I actually knew what he meant by it. We managed to get up it, but since we had just thought of parkouring it on the spot, we didn’t do a good job of getting up it. So I went online a couple day ago, and did a little studying on good climbing form, jumping form, and landing/rolling form from high grounds. I wasn’t able to today, but next weekend, I hope to go parkouring with my friends. Until then!

How I did it: I had known how to play the guitar for about a month, and I was looking at a tab online on how to play a song I wanted to learn. At the time, I had no intentions whatsoever of making my own music, starting a band, or anything besides just learning new songs to play. Well, the tab was crappy, so I changed some of the chords a little, and before I knew it, I had made an entire guitar line (intro,verse,chorus,verse,chorus,solo,verse,chorus,o… Read how I did it…
How I did it: I think it was 2 years ago. It was Christmas, and my parents showed I had one present to go, and it was my first ever guitar. I was totally ecstatic! It came with a small amp, a cord, and a tutorial video. I was so excited to learn, I went to town on the video. I watched every single lesson, and went over some of them a lot of times. It also came with a bonus section showing how to change your strings (thank goodness, because my high E-st… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My friend is in video-production class at our high school, and so he sometimes has to make a video. He asked me, and a couple other friends, if we wanted to be in a 'horror' film. It turned out to be kind of comedic, but it was really fun to make, especially since the fact that I was the Grim Reaper in the video. I didn't even know that he was going to put it up on Youtube, so when he posted it on my Facebook page, I was like, "WWWHHHOOOA… Read how I did it…

I hope The Foo Fighters hold a concert soon near where I live, so I’d be able to count this goal as DONE, and also, I’d get to see THE freakin’ FOO FIGHTERS!
If you don’t know what wakeskating is, it’s basically wakeboarding, but you’re feet aren’t attached to the wakeboard, so it’s like a wakeboard/skateboard. In wakeskating, you can do tricks that you could probably never do in wakeboarding, like kickflips and pop-shuvits, but you might not be able to go as high as you would in wakeboarding.
