Hello!!!
It's been long since I last wrote. I'm finally free to go for skating on Saturday since a long long time...And it's finally held at some place nearer to home (: but apparently the turn out wasn't good, so I guess it won't be held anywhere north anymore :(
Anyway, we skated at the very very big multi-storey car park because the weather was too hot to skate at the big open air courts in Sembawang.
Here's a look at how huge the car park is...
You can skate anyhow you like without worrying too much about falling down! So good! (:
We could practise everything we wanted to practise coz the place is so huge, including my heel brake. Yes, heel brake, I'm still trying to master it haha. Hmm and trying parallel turn now, as Angus said, need to level up! But somehow, my parallel turns 9 out of 10 will end up as A frame turns... tsk. Need to practise more.
Anyway, after some time, we got a little bored. I don't know whose idea it is, but they decided to play catching!!! Since the car park is so huge, it's a good place to play catching hahaha.
Oh, I took a video too. There was a debate on which style of catching to play haha.
Exciting man, it was my first attempt urban-ing, and I was quite scared, unlike Cynthia who was much more confident than me haha although it's also her first time going urban. Mainly because I don't think I can survive the obstacle course hahaha. There were drain covers, bulges here and there, funny steps that will appear out of no where...argh, luckily there wasn't pressure to skate fast or anything. I would have just given up. Haha, thanks everyone for trying to help! I wouldn't have survived free from injuries (note: no injuries doesn't mean no fall! =x) home without your help (: oh must thank my guards too haha.
Was quite tired when we were near my home. And they wanted to accompany me to the bus stop so I can change back to my slippers and walk home. Haha, apparently the ground was seriously extremely skates-unfriendly! I decided to just sit down on the road and change hahaha.
Okay, great skating adventure today! (: my feet need a good rest...so painful after wearing skates for so long...
