Today was pretty fun, first I went to my school with my friends, where me and my friends lined up 3 picinic tables, we lined them up a year ago and the school was too lazy to put them back. So I was kickflipping off of them, I caught my kickflips before I went below the height of the tables. Then I skated some flat ground for a while. Grinded some of the painted curbs. Then I went to a five step I just found out about, this was my first stair set so, I started off just ollieng it(got the hang of it real easily), then I had 3 chances to try to kickflip it, i almost got it. If I had one more chance I would have landed it. By the time I finished my third attempt at kicking it, we got kicked out of the premisis. Fun times...

Niiiiice. Its sick to have a good day on your board and it sounds like you had one today. Fueled with a new confidence, you'll get that 5 set next time mate. And kick flipping a five is pretty good if your just starting on stairs.

But what time is it over where you are? Its like 9am in Australia right now.

Sounds like a pretty good day. It's good that your catching your kickflips high instead of flipping them slow and catching them right before you hit the ground.

Nothing like a good day skating with friends, especially when learning new tricks. Good job man.

Awesome day bro...I wish I had some sets around here so I could start to practice on them.. I have my best days when it's just me and my one friend...We always seem to advance when we're just skating and having fun...add the other guys and it's usually just an average day..

Cool. I go to skate at my school often, although we don't really have much. A 2 stair and curbs is basically it.

It's been waaayy too hot to skate here latly, but I'm hoping that changes because I wana go skate at the local park this weekend.

You need one of those gallon jugs of water. Keep filling it up every day and use it for the session. It works very well during this type of weather.

^ We fill up empty milk jugs and have one for each person. I'm going to Omaha's Roberts Park sometime soon, anyone been there? Is it fun?

Done. I put them in the freezer just enough for there was about 1-2 CM layer of ice around the inside of the jug, and it was awsome.
