Lock, Stalk and Two Smoking Barrels: Jerk & Meth

Hey guys, Zoe here. So i'm just back home from a seriously awesome afternoon: went skateboarding for the very first time ever!

Pry and i had been talking about doing it for a while now, so we finally set a date to go and get our skateboards at a sports shop that had a sale on, so we thought it was a good time to buy them (their names are Jerk, after the board's name in the shop "PLAY7 MYSELF", which just leaves too much to the imagination, and Meth, after its colour, which is similar to blue crystals). So originally we were gonna go on friday afternoon and then spend a while practising and then go home (not gonna go out every single night each weekend cause we have this shitty project, kinda like a thesis but in a smaller scale). But today Pry was sick and when i got home from school she was online and really bored (I could tell because she was being absolutely hyper on the cam) and i didn't have too much to do so i thought it would be cool to it now. Told her, she liked the idea, then Cris decided to tag along with us, so we all went out, bought the boards (see pic*) even though they didn't have the one i wanted: one with a drawing of spidey on it... would have been awesome to roll on that! :P

After that we were outside for 15 minutes going up and down a street with a fence, holding on to it because we're so bad at it... but i managed to learn how to turn, even if it happened by my almost crashing into a pole. A while later we walked around the shops cause Pry wanted to get a bag and some shoes to skate in, but we had no luck with the bag, so we just decided to leave it for another day and go to practice skateboarding. We ended up in a square next to my place where we really made some serious improvement... buuuut as all good things don't last, i managed to almost kill myself. Not entirely sure how it happened but i lost balance, tried to take one of my feet off the board to regain my balance on the floor but it stuck to the board, so i tried with my other foot and the same thing happened. Result: two knees and one hand scraped.

But it's been really cool, i absolutely love it so far and i can't wait to go out again on friday with pry.

Oh yeah, and we will of course be uploading pics and videos on our improvement!

Take care, be safe guys :)

Love ya
