Ripstik

Hellooo~~ I'm BACK! hehe

So well about a week ago, the ripstick my dad got me arrived. I got a silver one. Joseph got a green one. Audrey didn't get one because she couldn't decide if she wanted roller blades or this ripstik.

SO! Our dad decided to get 2 - for now. If she liked it, he'd get her another one. If she didn't, he'd get her rollerblades.

So after playing with this ripstik for about a week now, we all like it and actually fight to play with it. (No, we don't bash each other up, just kinda push each other and try to get to the board first) Anyway, We play it almost everyday now and its really fun.

The first time I played with it was really frustrating. I had to get help. Hold my mom's shoulder and try to roll. Not very cool~ But after that, she'd let go and I'd be like "AHHHH" *hands making circles* and trying not to fall down. Well later on, I tried getting on myself. After 30mins, I FINALLY get on and can STAY ON!!

WHOO HOO!!

But I couldn't really turn, so I'd keep crashing into the front gate. (We were playing in the front yard by the way.) SO after lots and lots of crash tests. I finally get the hang of it and can turn 180!!!

*HIGH 5*

Well Joseph was more "experienced" than me. He had the whole morning to play. While I was a good hardworking student at summer school. While I was trying to figure out how to "turn". He was doing Figure 8s.

The really annoying thing is that, since he can doing something more than me, he wouldn't SHUT UP! Seriously, he kept talking and talking about how to do this and that and this. Gosh~~ I wish his mouth had a zipper and a lock.

He thought he was so good that he could go down the bumpy downhill road. My mom told him not to but he did it anyway. The result - YEEPEE!!! AHHHHHHH!! *crash landing*.
He ended up with a huge scratch on his knee, elbow and palm.

Its okay. He'll recover.

Anyway, after learning how to get on and turn, my mom took us to the park. Now I had to learn how to move the ripstik. Okay learning how to move around on it felt kinda weird. Cuz that thing works only if you sway you hips and move your shoulder side to side.

So picture me like this -

I get on the ripstik, but I step too hard on one side and it flips up and hits me just below my knee. That happened a few times and now I have like 5 bruises on my right leg. I also have one bruise on my hand. I don't know how that one got there. Oh well.

When i FINALLY get on. I try to move. I looked funny. I was like swinging my hips and moving myh shoulders and my body was like twisting left to right. I felt weird but when i started moving I was like YAY!!! I DID IT!! SO HAPPY! XD

=D

After a while ur legs will start hurting so I let Audrey try. She was pretty good too. We had a pretty nice time. hehe
