So far it's been a good week, since last Friday every night i've been out practicing and improving my skating,  yeah, that's right I finally got a board, it was Lor's old board actually, and it's mine until I buy the darkstar i'm saving up for :)

Lor's is the white darkstar, my board is the middle one (apparently an old Alien) and Kenny's is the end Tony Hawk board.

Actually, over the past few days we've been going into the nearby skatepark as it's getting dark, so we can practice when no ones around. I know i'm not very good, but we decided to walk around a few of the ramps, and I thought to myself 'hey, here's a measly little ramp, i'll have a go at going down it'. There was actually a few little kids on their scooters there, and I told them I was shit, so if I fell they could laugh because it would be funny. Turns out that measly little ramp was almost the death of me (not literally). Instead of leaning forward on my board, I leaned backwards and obviously fell backwards and fell flat on my back, bearing in mind the hard concrete floor made it 10x worse. But it was absolutely hilarious, honestly, although I couldn't move properly for about 2 hours, it was worth it.

Also, the day after that, we went to the skatepark again and this little kid riding a scooter questioned my skills. This is how the conversation went.

Him: Can you skate good?
Me: I'm only just beginning.
Him: Can you do kickflips?
Me: No, i've literally just been skating for under a week.
Him: Can you do ollies?
Me: No, (obviously if I can't do kickflips I can't do ollies)
Him: Can you even skate?
Me: Yeah. 

I then get on my board, and show myself up by falling off because I pushed off too hard. Later on when we left, this little kid, once again started being a dick insulting how shit I was (which I already know, haha!). So me and Lor turned around and fucking owned up. Seriously though, unless you're a natural, it takes a while to properly get confident on a skateboard whereabouts on a scooter you're already good at it because you have support with a handle, unlike a skateboard where it just... well a board.

This was also the day Jay asked me if I wanted to create a band with him and I was literally taken back, I was absolutely speechless but i'm freaking excited now! So sometime next week we might stay behind and practice. It's going to be helish!

And that's been my week so far!

But also there's supposed to be this new kid joining tomorrow and my mate Keith has to show him around! :D woo new fwend.
