This quarantine has put a lot of time on our hands. It is also going to affect how we do our final video. We will have to work online only to communicate on what we should put in the video and sending videos to each other. We haven't been able to get together during this quarantine yet. We are trying to get together and go to the Lexington Skate Park. This would really put our skills to the test on how much we have learned. We also could do challenges against each other on who has gotten the best. I have been trying to jump off a small ledge at my house doing an ollie. This has made me get better at doing an ollie on the move. I have been wearing knee pads and a helmet because I could get hurt. I will update on how my progress continues on that project.

This week I have been focusing on balance again and turning. Balance is the main thing you should get down before you can do tricks and anything else. I am starting to be able to do an ollie on the move. This is a good start to doing a kick flip. I don't know if I will be able to do a kick flip by the end of these 12 weeks. I am getting much more balance on my board. Hopefully I will be able to do a kick flip by the end though. Max
I have been able to skateboard a lot more because of the quarantine. I drove over to my grandparents house to skateboard down their hill. It is very steep and should have understood I'm not very advanced in skateboarding yet. I still went down the hill and proceeded to fall on my butt. Nothing serious just scratched my elbow. I now wear elbow pads and knee pads when I do stuff like that. Even doing the tricks at my house have been kind of dangerous. I have twisted my ankles a lot lately. I am getting much better at doing an ollie. Being able to do any other kind of trick by the end of this project is going to be very hard. Max
Being at the beach this past week has helped me be able to get comfortable riding for longer than usual. I had a long flat road that not many cars rode on so it was safe for me to ride around on. This increased my balance and got me comfortable on my board. The tricks are the harder part of this project. I feel like i'm doing them right, but they don't produce the same results as the professionals. I know this will come with time as I continue to practice, but it is hard. Hopefully by the end of the 12 weeks I can do all of the tricks that I want. |
