Skating in the USA
2007-07-20

During this vacation I went to visit Oregon. I had been skating on a mini-wooden ramp for two years now, so skating in a big concrete park was a little bit intimidating. We skated Cal Young the first few days. My dad, my sister, and I all shared one board, so we could only go one at a time. We gradually worked ourselves up to bigger and better tricks. Pretty soon I felt comfortable skating that park again.

One day we went to Churchill. It used to be my favorite park, but looking at the big bowl made me nervous. I wasn't ready to drop something that high, so I didn't.

It was really strange going to the skatepark after 2 years. I did't know anybody who was skating, and before we knew everyone. At first there was some hostility towards Kyla and I, but once the boys saw that we weren't just messing around and buttboarding, they didn?t mind us. It was cool seeing how many more little girls were skating, or trying to. There was a skate camp one of the days we were there and about half of the kids that signed up were girls! What I really noticed when we were at Churchill was that there weren't really many bikers and before I left there were always bikers at Churchill.

It was fun to skate a real ramp again, and I discovered that I really hadn't gotten that much worse!

I got Sponsered!!!
2007-02-11
About a week and a half ago I started looking for another sponserer. My old sponserer, Concrete Divas, died out so I wanted to see if I could get sponsered again. I went to the Skateboard Directory (http://www.skateboarddirectory.com/). I looked up female skateboarding companies and found a company called Bella Girl Boards (BGB), they have really cute clothes and decks, but they didn't have a team page (a team is made up of people the company is sponsering or hiring as pros) so I thought that I wouldn't get sponsered. I sent an e-amil telling them about myself and thought that I wouldn't get a reply, but about a week later I got and e-mail saying that they would love to sponser my sister and I! I was super excited and my sister was too. It just shows that if you try hard to get sponsered you probably can!

Ale's Ramp
2006-09-16
Yesterday night we went to one of my dad's skate friends house, to see his ramp. It was in a sheltered area. It was about 2 feet high and had a super shallow transition. It was really easy to ride. It was fun. I also helped Ale's little neighbors ride around. It was fun, but I didn't like the coping of the ramp.

Andrecks
2006-08-22

I learned a new trick. It is an Andrack. It is like a handplant but you put your hand that usually goes on the front of the board instead behind you. I taught it to myself because I went up to do a handplant but then I tried to do a grab air. It looked cool so I asked my dad what it was and he told me that it was an Andrack.

I also have been working on frontside handplants. My dad told me about it and before he even showed me or told me how to do it I almost pulled it! My dad was amazed because he has never been able to pull it.

Backside Skatepark
2006-07-13

Today my family and I went to Backside Skatepark. It reminded me of Shelter, the indoor skatepark in Eugene. The layout was very similar. When you walk into the skatepark there is a snack store on your right and on your left was the skate shop. The skate shop was closed when we first came so we bought the tickets to skate and borrowed helmets (they were gross).

The skate area in front of us had rails and bumps and was for street skaters. In the back was a smaller street area. It had a super steep, small bowl. Behind that was a set of stairs that led to the bowl. The bowl was about as high as the medium bowl in Churchill. At first I didn't want to drop it because I haven?t dropped in a ramp that size for a year. After my first drop all was good and I had a fun session. I pulled some really good grab airs. We also got three pairs of knee pads when we were there.

To see my arcived stories click here, Old Stories.

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. Now I only skateboard at my house, because in Paraguay there are no skateparks. To find out more about these parks go to my skateparks page. The placeI practice at is my mini ramp in my garage. I skateboard every day with my sister, dad, and sometimes my mom. My mom and dad skateboard so do my sister and I my sister is 11 years old she knows how to do rock-n-roll, backside slash grinds, and backside stalls. She is in sixth grade.

My dad skateboards on our mini ramp. 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 few weeks 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.
