Skateboarding

 Hey bloggers! 

Today (20th November) Hauraki did their first Skateboarding lesson.

 First we chose a skateboard and put our helmet on. Then we did a few laps around the court and we got split into two groups. There were two coaches. Their names were Lawrence and Ben. First we learned how to Tic Tac.  That is when you lift the board up by putting pressure on the tail ( back of the board) and moving the board left then right.  Next we went on the grass and put the board upside down on our feet. We jumped up, flipped our board with our feet and landed on our board. It was too easy for me and Daiki so we did a one- eighty degrees turn onto our board. After that we put the board so the top side of it was facing our heels and touching our heels. Then we lifted our board with our feet and landed on it. Me and Daiki did a one-eighty on that too. 

In the afternoon Hauraki is going to have another session and I can't wait! I really liked having the lesson because I learned how to ride a Skateboard and learn some tricks. 

OK, We did our second session and it was really fun. We did lots of games of "What's Up Wolf!" I came second in almost every one. The second session was almost the same but we got more free time! Me and Daiki went on the ramps.  Daiki fell over and his knee was bleeding a little bit. But anyway It's fine now. 

I had fun because I learned new stuff like riding a skateboard and how to do Tic Tacs. 

Here are some photos of the day.

 Bye bloggers!
