Skateboarding is always something I have been amazed by and love watching skaters skate. I've only been on a skateboard a couple of times in the past but have always wanted to learn to skate properly. So I decided this summer I would learn to skate the MTown bowl. One of my housemates found a skateboard so I acquired it since they wouldn't be using it and have been going down everyday that it's not been wet/ raining!! I go down early morning when no one else is down there to not get in anyones way meaning I have the whole bowl to myself to practice, I am stoked with my progress and getting the feel for being on a skateboard I already feel it has helped my balance so much!! I love skateboarding and look forward to seeing what I can learn on it this summer.
The other day I was down skating in the morning and manage to make it round the bowl for the first time, it felt so good, finally making it round this one corner that was becoming my nemesis, haha!! Then I went for a skate again in the afternoon meeting up with some friends. Will got me trying to drop in on a sloped part at the side of the bowl to get the feel of it before going for the drop in to the bowl. I was getting it when I didn't hesitate. Then on one I put too much pressure on the front of board I fell forward and it felt like my ankle folded in half almost underneath, I walked it off sat it out for a bit but then still skated a lil then played volleyball and ran around playing football, crazy how I managed as when I got home my ankle stiffened right up and got pretty swollen so had sprained it. Might have been better trying to drop into the bowl but then again who knows same thing could of happened and the bowl is pretty scary. But hopefully it doesn't take too long to heal and I can get back to skating and learning to drop in :)
