Skateboards
By: Dilip
Have you ever seen Tony Hawk jump off those huge mega-ramps they have at the X-games with a skateboard? Well he had to grow a lot of self-confidence to even set foot on a skateboard. Skateboarding is basically a wooden board with four wheels on the bottom of it. It is one of my favorite sports ever. It was so hard at the beginning, and I would litteraly fall off the board about everytime I got on to the board, but it got easier as I did it more. So far, the tricks I can do are an ollie, a grind,a shuv-it, sort of a boardslide, and I’m getting the hang of a kickflip. There are six main parts to a skateboard,the deck (which is the board),the wheels,the bearings (which are the things in the wheels to make it spin),the trucks(the two metal pieces that hold the wheels together),and the griptape ( the black stuff on the top of the skateboard that make sliding for tricks easier). There are many boards you can choose from, and some can even be in different sizes. One of my favorite pro-skaters are Chris Cole ( the person in the picture ). The fun thing about skateboarding is that when you learn a new trick, you can show them how awsome it is. Overall, skating is a really thrilling sport. If you in-line skate or skateboard why do you enjoy it ,if not what other sport do you enjoy and why?

I enjoy playing baskitball with my dad. When I was still in third grade, I used most of my free time playing baskitball.
My favorite sport is soccer. I like to play soccer because I like dribbling the ball, passing the ball, and shooting.The only thing I don't like about soccer is being the goalie. I am always afraid of the ball coming at a really high speed and knocking me over. Soccer also gives you a lot of exercise. You need to run a lot around the field. The fowards usually run the most and the defenders usually run the least.
I like to in-line skate because then I can skate with others. Plus, if I am good at it, And I want to ice skate, it would be easier for me.
I enjoy football. Football is so awsome you get to watch teams play against each other in a spectacular way. There are about 20teams but my favorite team is the stealers they are spectacular!!!! They won the super bowl by one pla almost out of bounds. Overall footbal has many rules, four plays unless you get a first down[over 10yards. Football is awsome!!!!!!!!
I especially enjoy playing soccer because it is a fun sport for you to get fit. The thing which I do not like soccer is because in the end people always fight saying the opposing team cheated. I think soccer would be more fun if people accepted defeat.
I'm not really good at skateboards but my friend is awesome! He's not really good at flips. for me I don't know how to control it.
I am not really good at skateboarding. I have a friend that is awesome at it. He can do some really cool flips. I need to practice a lot so that I can be as good as him.
If I was a skateboarder I would enjoy it because it would be fun and mathematical. It would be mathematical because the tricks have things like angles the boards have size, like they should have an equation of board size depending on your height.
I like in-line skating because it feels like your gliding if your good at it. In the beginning, when you stutter, you aren't very good, but later when you get used to it, it starts being smooth and that is when it feels like your gliding. The hard part about it is putting the skates on your feet. There are a lot of things to adjust the tightness, and on my shoes there are four on each shoe, so that's eight in total. When I leave my house, there is a step to go down, so I have to hold on the corner of my house, which is very hard to grip on. I skate at the park across the street from my house, the Calabazas Park.
Well I like soccer for many resons. First, I like to fool the other team with many tricks. For example you can move on way and then quickly move the other way. It's easy, but it works every time. I also like the fun of compeeting for the ball. I also like how the game is played.
One sport I love to do is swim. I think this is a good topic for this week because Friday is sports day. I like to swim because you taking a risk to go in the pool and just feel free. Here's one tip for you when you swim just stop and just float do not do anything and your ears will be beneth the water and you will be floating and it is just like you are standing. Another sport I like is Karate. I like this sport because it plays a game called "Sensei Says". It is just to test the lower belts if the can remember and foucus. Here's a fact about this sport it is going to be in the olympics in 2016. You should watch for the name "Pranav" and "Anika" and yes I will be in the olympics.
I don't know if riding a RipStik counts as skateboarding, and if it does then I skateboard. I was taught by me brother's friend who is in ninth grade. I know how to keeping on riding it, but my only problem is getting on and off. My problem with getting off is that I am scared if I am going too fast and suddenely stop. I might hurt myself or something. My problem with getting on is I can't get on.
I looovvveee tennis!!!!!!!!
It is just sooo fun! It makes you think that you have such great power. You can just barely move your racket in a forehand and the ball goes flying!
Well, I LOVE skateboarding! Its really addicting! Sometimes, I even skateboard with Dilip. Its really fun.
