Skateboarding!!
Hey bloggers, today I'm going to be telling you guys what we did today.
First session) We did skateboarding today and it was super fun. We are so lucky to be having Ben and Lawrence teach us some cool tricks. We did some tricks they were Tick-taxs, Balancing lungs and some people did the 180 degree flip. Its where you put your skateboard upside down and you would have to flick it up and turn and land. I looked pretty scary to be honest, the Tick-taxs, they called it two different name on the skateboard the top was called the nose and the end was called the tail. You would have to stand on the tail and not the nose so the nose is pointing up to the sky. We gently got our other foot and placed it on the nose.
They also taught us how to pick up our skateboard without bending down to get it. They said we had to quickly stand on the tali and quickly move our foot and grab the skateboard. After learning all those moves we got to play a little game of What's Up Wolf but on a skateboard. It was pretty easy but hard at the same time. The first person to cross the line wins. So we had a try get to the other side but if they catch you moving you would have to move back four steps. If he said dinner time we would all have skate all the way to the line. We had a lot of team work and learning new skills some people even learnt how to ride a skateboard.
