Skating in Chai Wan... Again...
2009-11-23
On Sunday to celebrate my dad's birthday we went to Hong Kong and skated at Chai Wan Skatepark. We had already skated this park, so already knew it. We went with some friends so we just skated and watched each other skate and helped the ones that weren't so good at skating learn what to do. It was pretty mellow.

Mie Foo Skateboard Park in Hong Kong
2009-09-27
Yesterday my dad decided to drag my family to yet another skatepark in Hong Kong that was called Mie Foo. We also invited some friends from school. We went to Hong Kong really early in the morning so that it wouldn't be roasting hot (it still was by the way). The park was pretty nice, there were two ramps, some rails, and more stuff. I only really skated on the biggest ramp. It was made out of metal so when I tried to do a handplant I burned my fingers, but I did a ton of grab airs. It was kind of scary, just because it was the biggest ramp I'd skated for a while... I'm used to the really small bowl in Shekou. The trick I was most proud of pulling was a backside 50-50, it was high up, so wasn't easy, but it was mostly difficult just because I was kind of scared. Most of skating is just getting over mind trips... Overall a good skate day!

Skating in Hong Kong
2009-05-14
Last weekend my family decided to go to this skatepark that my dad found in Hong Kong. We woke up early in the morning and meet Adrian (my dad’s friend) and Sean (Kyla’s and my friend) and then we all went to the bus terminal to get to Hong Kong. It was really early in the morning, so when we got there, there wasn’t even a line! We got on a bus really quick and then we were off to Hong Kong. Once in the big city we took numerous subways to get to the park, and even then we still had to walk a ways. When we finally got to the park I was just slightly shocked at how small it was! I had thought that the park would be small, but this one only had one small half-pipe. We got on our pads and helmets and then tested out the ramps. Although the half-pipe was really small it was kind of hard to skate! It was made out of fake wood and so was super slippery and the coping stuck out really far. Even so I still managed to pull many of my tricks and even to get photos of them. I did rock-n-rolls, frontside rock-n-rolls, backside 50-50s, switch drop-ins, and frontside 50-50s my arch-enemy of all tricks (I have fallen on that trick so many times that now I am terrified of it). The park was kind of fun, because it was so small that there was no need to fear getting hurt on a trick.

Skating in Shekou
2008-08-16

So we have moved to Shekou, China. Its pretty different here, but one thing is the same, there are still skateparks... Since my dad loves skating, naturally he had to go to the skatepark right away. When we got there we first went to the skate shop and got a complete deck for my parents and one for my sister and I. Then we wanted to go to the actual park, but there was a contest going on for roller bladers so we couldn't go. Luckily the actual park for the roller bladers wasn't being used as well, so we decided to skate there. It had three little bumps that were fun to go on because it felt like a roller coaster, and there was also a bank and a quater pipe. We didn't have helmets or pads so we took it easy, but it still was a good skating session. Next time we can hopefully go in the bowl...

My favorite trick is the backside grab air and the hardest trick for me is the frontside stall.The funnest trick for me is the handplant and the easiest trick for me is the drop in. I am learning to do tricks switch. My favorite places to skateboard are Ashland, Aumsville, Bethel,DOS (Department of Skateboarding) and Churchhill, but my favorite place is Ashland. Since I am currently living in China I finally have a skatepark to practice in! To find out more about these parks go to my skateparks page. The place I practice at is the skatepark near my school. I skateboard every weekend with my sister, dad, and sometimes my mom. My mom and dad skateboard so do my sister and I my sister is 13 years old she knows how to do rock-n-roll, backside slash grinds, and backside stalls. She is in eigth grade.

I think everybody should wear safety equipment when they are skateboarding. The pads I wear are knee pads, elbow pads, a helmet, and wrist guards.

Feb, 11th, 2007A while ago I decided that I needed a logo for myself. That way people could mabey use it as a link to my site if they wanted. So I made this logo on Coral. It was really hard and it doesn't look perfect but I like it and I hope that other people like it as well.
