Skateboarding At School! (Lessons)

 Skateboarding!

Hello everyone! Welcome back. Recently at school we have started skateboarding lessons. We had two teachers, Ben and Laurence.And no, his name ISN'T Lawrence.  We started off by learning what the parts of the skateboard were called. I managed to guess most of the things. There were the wheels, trucks, deck, and the grip tape. Then we learned how to stand on the deck. When you are pushing you have your front foot facing forward. When you put your back foot on the deck and twist your front foot so it's facing sideways. Then we split into groups to learn balance, Tic-Tack-ing, and carving. 

After all that we played 'What's Up Wolf?' where you skateboard until the 'Wolf' turns and looks at us. If he sees us moving we move back four steps. If he yells 'Dinnertime!' we skateboard as fast as we can to the end of the court. The first one to get to the end gets to be wolf next round. Here are some things I learnt: How to skateboard. How to carve. How to balance on a skateboard, and so on.The skate school is called Young Guns Skate School, By the way. We one lesson in the morning and one in the afternoon. We had two because we were on a trip last week... Anyways, thanks for reading. Blog 'Ya Later!
