A Warning

I probably should have put the warning in the first blog, but oh well. A big warning for anyone who skates at the skate parks. Be careful. If you skate vert on big quarter pipes make sure you don't get over confident. Know your limit. If you're skating street don't try to ollie a 6 set after a month of skating. Skating takes time and practice. You can do big quarter pipes and go down stairs just wait until you're ready to do it and you know how bad it hurts to fall.

If you're also trying to learn flat land tricks like kick flips, varial flips, pop shove it's and etc be prepared to get hit in the shin a few times, and the worst thing you have to be prepared for that happens frequently is getting hit in your ankle. Right on the ball that sticks out. That hurts so bad! Another really bad injury that happens a lot in the skating world is when you roll your ankle and your foot bends sideways and touches your leg. Then you have to ice and it’s just a really bad thing.

The two things all skaters fear are credit cards and popsicles. Those are both where you are skating usually off of something and the board goes straight up wards and you land on it either in the tail bone or... You catch my drift. Those are the two worst things ever. The pain is unreal and you just have no idea what to do, so if you're going to start skating be prepared to experience all of these. Skating might seem like all fun and games, but it's also a lot of injuries and sitting on the couch with your ankle covered with an ice pack. I Be careful out there!

If you're still willing to try and skate after learning all the possibilities of pain then good luck! Keep looking at my blog for helpful tips!
