Learning 3

On Friday 20th of August, i continue on my learning of playing skateboard, And today i actually wanted to learn 2 more tricks..which is powerslide and Kick-flip(impossible for my current self,just to try it at least once).

Then i look my skateboard to the parking lot at my hostel and other location(beside an apartment)..then it actually took me 2 hours to actually learn how to do a powerslide...although it was only 80% successful. And i get another bums on my leg..><
This is the video that swee sing took while i was doing power-sliding

After that , i tried to do kick-flip, although it was impossible for me right now, but at least try once.. And i keep trying on how to do kick-flip...

*FALL*

*KREEK* Suddenly i heard a weird sound from my leg, and i Notice that i twisted my leg....><>< , or maybe when i am down , i didn't put my leg correctly, so that's why i twisted my leg...what a misfortune.. Then , on that night, it getting even pain that evening, then i talk a look...and i SEE a bums on my leg...fuuuxx...
This is the image that i took on that night.

LEFT LEG ( NORMAL )



RIGHT LEG (BUMS) ><


Then On the Next day night..which mean 21 of august...i realize that my leg became even pain..and i took a picture of it...it turn out to be green...

After a Day

So i realize that i temporary can't play skateboard anymore....unless it is 100% cure, because if i continue playing it will hurt even more...

=(
so sad.


Skate location

Well, stay at liverpool, i actually found few places that some teenager usually skate over there ( Last time) ..so i was planning to take a picture of em playing, but unfortunately this time i didn't get to find any of the skater there...=/ or maybe i was too late because i reach there around 5pm..
so i just took picture of the place that the skater usually play at

This is at Seel street
Another location of Seel street as well
Carpark( which can skate after 6)

Then on my way back to my hostel...on the way at liverpool one...i feel someone else is skating on a road...ZOOOM ...from my back to my front... i wanted take a picture of it , but they skate too fast, and by the time i took out my camera... they are gone. ....sad

learning 2

16 of august
After i have learn most of the basic, like pushing, stand, but not 100% comfortable with it yet, then i started to learn how to do Ollie, well, Ollie it was easy when we look at how people do, but the real thing is , it isn't as easy as i thought, this is because by doing ollie, i have to kick my back foot down 1st, i tried few times but it didn't success, and i end up with a few bums on my leg..><

This is the video that when i learn/ practicing...how to do ollie..and it's a fail one..


From the video above i was curious,because i couldn't actually get to kick down my back foot 1st, before the front foot...so i was like keep trying ( i feel like i'm a monkey) =S
after that i start practice

and it's really exhausted ..>< playing skateboard it drain a lot of energy..T_T sweat everywhere..


From the video above, i was resting and after the rest, i continue to practice...=) but it didn't Success even once after all my hard work.....=/

Oh well, must not give up so easily until i actually feel satisfy..=) so i keep practice..

that's for today ..

Learning start

Then on the next day, which is day after i visit rampworx, then i have decided to learn the basic of skateboard first, but when i start learning...i kinda feel that skateboard it isn't as easy as i thought, this is because i myself can't even stand on a skateboard or push the skateboard balance..and some times i did fall a few time...it was really embarrassing cause, there are view people viewing me ...but oh well, who cares about them... so i continue learning...

And after a few hours, i finally manage to balance while stand and push the board, without fail..... but still, i have to keep practice so that i can actually feel comfortable with pushing....xD
here is the picture of i successful learn pushing..

And the picture below was show that how i actually identify which foot am i, Goofy footed or regular footed...and i am goofy footed..because i am more comfortable with right foot as front foot and left foot as back foot.

Liverpool Skatepark

August 14....i and swee sing planed go to liverpool skatepark (RAMPWORX) which is somewhere near AINTREE to look around...but the place was kinda far away from my hostel...so we went there by train
And i manage to get there by train.. before that i thought train gonna cost a lot, but it's not.. it was cheaper than i thought...xD 2 pound only...


Ok, then i reach train station at aintree, and the actual time to reach there was 15 minutes, but it took me an hour to reach there, it's because we actually lost from there, and we keep asked for direction and it seems like not many people know where rampwork located.....weird isn't it...=/After i reach there, i immediately took out video cam and took this video that i took from the outside of rampworx building





Inside the rampworx building was seriously amazing...because there was a large place and many people was skate and cycle over there.. and in there, they have everything, like ledge,ramp,rail and so on... But there was a disappointment, which is i was unable to take a picture or take video over there...the stuff said that is their law..=S oh well, i might as well follow it..haiz

that's it

my 1st touch on skateboard.

SIDE VIEW
SKATEBOARDING IS NOT CRIME!!!!
U HEAR

xD..well, On August (date i forgot d) On that day i feel kinda happy this is because i get to borrow a skateboard from my lecturer . well, i feel kinda happy about it, because i get to borrow a skateboard without having to buy a skateboard to do my work ( skateboard price was around 30-100+ Pound,which is Damn expensive) . Phew...with this skateboard, i can actually start with my work.

Well, not only work actually,i have been interested in skateboarding for quite a long time, AND NOW...i finally get to touch and feel the real skateboard. xD...
