So ive been skating for a year now (on which i think is today, i know it was the beginning of may). So im just say the thingsa ive managed to do in my first year of skating and stuff. So i have had:
3 decks - Choke Chokona,Fight Warbird, Plan B Reign in Blood
3 trucks - Fox II's, Ventures, Indy Kostons
3 Wheels - Choke,Pig,Bones STF
3 Sets of Bearings - ABEC 5,Bones Reds,Bones Super six swiss
3 Shoes - Vans Loot, Emerica Heretics and KSL 1.

Throughout this year i have learned (both normal and fakie):
Ollies (no shit)
Kickflips (love em)
Pop Shuvits (feel real nice)
Heelflips (still a little sketchy)
F/S Shuvits ( real skecthy)
f/s and b/s 180s ( they're fun for everyone!)
Varial Flips (gettin betta and higher)
Kickflip Sex changes (not in fakie)
Fakie Bigspins ( learned em today)
Mute and Nosegrabs and i can slap melons (dont really do em in fakie)
B/S Flips (need a bit of work)

My Switch/Nollie needs work but i have landed:
Ollies - a quite bit
Kickflips - 3 times
Pop Shuvits - 2 times.

Grinds and Slides:
5050 (rails and ledges)
b/s boardslide (rails and can do taps on ledges)
f/s Boardslide ( jsut need to work on getting off)

Ramps:
Drop in 6ft
Rock Fakie 5 ft
Rock N Roll 3 ft
Axle stall 3 ft
5050 2 ft

Sets and Ledges:
Highest Set - 5 set
Highest ledge - bout 4ft
Can kickflip and f/s 180 3 sets
can grab of 3ft ledge

Ive made so many new friends through skating, and done loadsa stuff. It has been the best year of my life and i hope i continue to progress. Summer will be sik and i just wanted to put down everything ive done so far just so next year i can see my inprovements. Ramprage has been helping me since my 3rd month of skating and has really helped me loads.
Thanks alot
Hopefully i will still be skating this time next year :D

dang i hope i can do that in a year, And about the drop in on 6 foot i noticed you too can't go to high or is it that there's no bigger halfpipe near you?
Is dropping in on a 12 foot or higher pipe as hard as it looks? I've tried once and I dont want to try ever again. lmao

I can land 10ft qp no prob and 11-12ft vert ramp. Now I wanna try a competition sized one...

Back to saikouslx,
You are progressing way better than me...I really suck compared to you.

I can only:
Ollie
Nearly shuvit
Hip transfer
Hippie twist
Bert slide 180 & 360 both FS & BS
Air to 50-50 on planter
Indy
Melon
Mute
Stalefish
Nosegrab
Tailgrab
Truck driver
Roast beef
Other variety of air tricks. I do them high...a lil higher than my height
Axle drop-3ft ramp
Drop in 3, 4, 5 ,6 ,8 ,10, 11-12 ft ramps

That is all I can remember.

wow. just wow. i think it's amazing how you can keep track of that. i'd have to get someone to pay me to write all that out. if i were to make this thread, it'd be like well yeah i went to a ledge and i kickflipped it but you have it like so organized.

it seems like after you get home from a park you record the exact date and trick you landed.

nopes, i just have a really good memory. Thanx for comments guys i really didnt expect such a big response. Hehe 2ft quarters are really fun to sesh as u can try relly random stuff and rarely get hurt. The Cheese : thats pretty lush for a year man and Nuthead your style seems to be more oldskool! Myfirend is just like you vbut then al of a sudden he learned pop shuvits, heeflip,kickflips,varial flips and fakie bigspins in like the space of 3 months. Oh yeh i forgot i can also hip transfer on a pyramid and also can do it with a mute:)
