Thursday Writing (Skateboarding)

Today me and my Maths class went to Kiwisport which was learning how to Skateboard! First we were walking in a line to Kiwisport/Skateboarding. Next, we were waiting for our coach called Simon to call us to get a skateboard and a helmet. Then we were doing laps of going forward and backwards. After that we were learning how to pick up our board with our feet. Then we did trick called the "tictac," We had to flip our board and put our feet and put them under the board and put them under the centre of the wheels, then we flip it with our feet and try to land on the board. After six tries I eventually got the hang of it! Finally we had a fun game of "What's the time Mr Wolf," Simon, our couch was the wolf and we were the wolf pack. Whenever one of us moved we had to go back four spaces or if we moved we had to go back eight spaces! After three rounds we had to put our board away and helmet together. Then Simon told us that Moimoi did this trick called "Olly," Olly is a trick where you try and pick up the board with your feet, Moimoi tried three times he couldn't so instead we went in a line and we said bye to Simon and left.
