HeelFlips

Today so far has been a pretty normal day. Nothing really exciting happend today. After school my mom took me to Taco Bell. And then I had to finish a Response to literature paper. Then about an hour ago I thought I might want to practice some Heelflips. After about 20 minuets I landed it! I focused and pictured myslef landing it and BAMI landed it! again again and again. I still cant land them as well as anything else. But twice out of every 5 times I can land them.
And I thought maybe I can get some on tape. So I got my mom camera and started taping.
If you dont know what a Heelflip is, It is a kickflip but you kick it with your heel instead of with your toe. I have no Idea why but I have been landing new tricks left and right! I cant wait to learn a new one and share it with you!

Inspiration


Alot had happend in the last 2 days! First of all I can land Varial Kickflips! If you don't know what varial Kickflips are I will post a video showing you. I feel that I am getting better and skating every day. SECONDLY! I am very happy to say that I have found an artist that I am absolutely in love with. His name is Alex Pardee and he is my inspiration to start to draw and such. I will hopefully post some of my drawings soon. Sorry the blog is so short but I needed to make it quick because Im studying for a Language Arts Test.

KickFlip!

Finally the time has come when I can finally land my Kickflips.
Its has been about 3 years that I have been skating and it has been the one trick I have always wanted to do. I have finally got it. I am very happy with myself for sticking With Skating for as long as I have. Its a funny story on how I finally landed it. My neighbor Mr.Horton saw me across the street struggling on them so I walk up to him. He starts telling me I need to picture myself landing it in my head.( It kind of reminded of The karate Kid) After about 10 min I land it. I was extremely Happy. Here Is a Video of me doing them!

Enjoy
