Sky High

A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jade invited me to go to Sky High, along with several other of my friends and classmates. After a long week of anticipation, the date finally arrived and I was very exited to go to Sky High with all my friends . The session was between 9-12, so I had a lot of free time before it was time to go. I went over to my friend Maxs house, and we skated around the front of his house and went on his trampoline in the back yard. Unfortunately, I completely shattered my phone in the trampoline, but it's alright now so there's no worries. After what seemed like an eternity, we finally left for sky high. When we arrived, most of my friends were there and they waited with us in line for a few minutes. After we payed our admission, we immediately began jumping. We went all around the facility, and we're spinning and flipping all over the place. Every few minutes we took a break to drink some water or talk to a friend. We were there for about 2 and half hours before we departed, and all of us were feeling we're tired.

Pedlow extravaganza

This is something that happened a few weeks back that I forgot to write about, so I might aswell right about it now. This story starts on a Friday afternoon, right after school got out. All of my friends decided we were going to go to Pedlow skatepark for the Dc shoe demo. Nobody really made definate plans, so Max, Russ, and I were left to skate to the bus stop 2 miles away. After a good 20 minutes of skating, we arrived at the stop and casually waited for the bus while we drank ice teas that we purchased from across the street. After a good few minutes of waiting we boarded the bus and in no time at all we arrived af the crowded park. Many of my favorite professional skaters were there, and all my friends and I were lucky enough to talk to them. All the people there were super nice guys, and it couldn't have been a better experience. Towards the end of the demo, everyone got into the big bowl and DC threw in product for everyone to try and grab. After 5 minutes of that a rider for Dc, T Funk, jumped in the bowl and crowd surfed. He's truly living the life.

Sk9lab

Yesterday, January 23 2016, I went to skatelab with some of my best buds. Skatelab is an indoor skatepark in Simi Valley that my friends and I frequently visit. Before I arrived at skatelab, my pal Dax arrived at my house at about 10 in the morning. After sitting on my couch for about 30 minutes discussing Pokemon and My Little Pony fan fictions, we finally left the house. On our way there, we stopped at Dunkin Donuts to get some fresh beverage and donuts. We finished eating our delicious breakfast and after 30 minutes of intellectually stimulating conversation, we arrived. When we got there our other pals Max, Ryan, Michael, and Matthew were there. We payed our admission fee and began to shred it up. We skated for about 3 hours when Michaels mother ordered pizza for his 14th birthday. While we were eating, we even made it onto skatelabs snapchat, which was pretty radical. After stuffing our faces with breadsticks and pepperoni pizza we started to skate again. We only had about 30 minutes left to skate, but in that time everyone managed to do some cool tricks and have a good time.
