Skating
Went skating today with Gerald and Mason.
As usual, everyone was late. Haiz.
Anyway, since Mason was running extremely late, Bok and me decided to skate to the Extreme Skate Park near Bedok Jetty. So he decided to give the halfpipes and ramps a try, and kept me entertained. Heh.
We also tried to conquer the slope that leads up and around the skate park, so I fell down once. Too bad the video couldn’t be saved. I fell, phone flew out of my hand. When it landed, the battery had popped out and it didn’t have a chance to be saved 
So Gerald had many epic moments, including losing control and hitting a patch of sand, and went sprawling on the pavement.
At that point of time, Mason had joined us already, and we skated back to the nice little skating rink, where Gerald practiced a little more with the t-brake and soon returned his skates. Mason taught me parallel turns (again) and the t-brake, and how to skate backward.
So for parallel turns, damn I’m having trouble turning right. I’ve since corrected my wrong-footed turn, but doing right turns… results not very good and I end up using my left foot to turn both left and right.
So they soon left, and then I was alone. Skated until 7.30pm. Should have stayed half-hour more to avoid the peak hour surcharge for the taxi I took back to my place.
Today’s achievements:
Skated non-stop from Extreme Skate Park to the Skating Rink @ ECP Area C Inline Culture. Was pretty tired after that lol.
Did the spin-stop without falling down (much).
Did the T-brake and effectively slowed down.
Did the correct way of parallel turns.
Things to work on:
T-brake – Need to do properly as sometimes my t-brake will just spin me around and I end up going from t-brake to spin stop.
Right parallel turns – Left turns are okay, but right turns leave something to be desired.
Things I want to learn:
Backward skating
Backward stopping
Basic slalom maneuvers.
That is all.
