I want to skateboard so bad. Hell if I could skateboard I garuntee you I would save gas money haha. The weather’s getting pretty nice in Florida, like the sweat shirt and shorts kind of weather.. I love it. I stuck with skateboarding for a whilel over the summer and I mean I can skateboard but I’m not too good. I deffinetly want to learn tricks. I’ll starting practicing every day for 45 minutes or so.

Balancing. 1 month ago

I can balance on the carpet now! Huzzah! Now I have to transfer that to tarmac. I’m imagining it won’t be very successful to begin with, but I’m sure I’ll get there in time. :)

OK so i went to a skatepark for the first time. Things still different from having whole blocks all to myself, but whatever. I got a little better with my ollieing and i went down a ramp for the first time.

I LOVE the skater look… That is my style! I got a skateboard for chirstmas and I’ve been meaning to learn. I’ve gone outside and practiced, but only on my driveway because my road is so bumpy and full of potholes! Almost everyone at my school- well, mostly boys but I do know a few girls- can skateboard ad I want to learn! I don’t need to know tricks, I just wanna glide. I feel free when I’m on my board…

I can do anything you can do better. 3 months ago

My boyfriend does it. He’s good and it’s sexy that he’s good. He rolls around at the skate park and I sit on my ass, get drunk and play dice with the guys who’ve been sidelined by broken bones or too much beer.
So, I’d like to try. In the past month I’ve gone from barely being able to stand up on a board to shakily moving forward and turning corners. I don’t care about front-side-salad-50/50-fakey (skater lingo may as well be Polish or something for all I understand/care) I just want to be comfortable cruising. My boyfriend bought me a sick board, too, so the wheels are turning (hah).

I want to at least be able to stand on the board and maybe even move a little bit without falling off :)
