Skating 2day

I went to an actual skatepark today. It was a 27 minute journey with car, but, my god, am I addicted now. I'm thinking of going back already tomorrow, really. Not that I did anything crazy, I'm still a beginner mind you, but I was able to cruise much easier than a few days ago. Alas, I'd only been practicing in my dads garage with little space, and because there was no other space with smooth floors, so I'd only been able to skate back and forth, sometimes turning, but I never really learnt much. 

Being at the skatepark was exhilarating, frankly. I learned how to push much better, found my stance on the board, and I even went over a small ramp :D I still need to figure out how to put all my weight on the front foot that's steering the board when I'm pushing with the back foot, because I sometimes end up putting all my weight on my back foot, giving me little to no speed increase. 

I manage to accelerate enough to get over a small ramp, but I've got yet to accelerate enough to go over a ramp with a flat space on top, instead of the smaller ramp that's just got a triangle like shape. 


There was another skater there too, but it was mostly kids on their annoying little scooters and rollerskates. I swear, there was a toddler on a damn toy motorcycle too (¬_¬ ) And somebody brought a remote controlled toy car!? Bro c'mon. 

Anyway, the other skater was literally a dad, and he was better than me lol (ˉ﹃ˉ)


I just wanted to rant abt this bc I've already told all my friends :P
