fixie

Fixed gearing is so popular now. Out of now where tons of people started riding fixed gears. They are old bikes that came back recently. they are really cool though. I have rode my friends fixed gears and they are really fun. I want to get a fixie now.

english final

I am so nervous for the english final. I hate giving presentations. I dont know how I am going to do it. The whole 45 minutes is going to be torture for me. When ever I have to talk in front of the class I forget everything I am supposed to say. I have everything all together before I go up and once its my turn, everything falls apart. I feel dumb when I have to talk alot about things I dont know that well or I am not interested in. I always think that everything I say in a presentation is so pointless and meaningless. I would way rather take a written test for the final instead.

this weekend

This weekend was so fun. Friday I skated all day and night until 3 in the morning and slept at my friends house. On Saturday I went to the mall to meet with other friends and we went go cart racing in fremont. It was my friends birthday and alot of good friends were there which made it so fun. After we went to this function in San Mateo after and played some pool. then we went home and my friend stayed the night. Sunday, today, my friends and I went to a free babeque at a skatepark and skated. then we went to another skatepark and skated some more. It was really hot though so we left and ate. then we finally went home.

product toss

I have been to a product toss once when I was a kid and I didn't get anything but a few stickers. Last weekend I was at a product toss and I got a skate video, a shirt, stickers and a skateboard. I almost got shoes, but when they were thrown by me, one of my hands were full and the box just bounced off my hand as another peson behind me grabbed the box. I wish I dropped the dvd and stickers i held in my hand. I would have had new shoes. after making the mistake of holding on to the little stuff, I shoved them down my pants and had two free hands. luckily the skateboard was thrown in my area and I jumped and reached with two hands, pulling it in and hugging it as i crunched up. People finally gave up fighting for it and the board was mine. One of my friends was just watching and he was shocked to see me so agressive. I was pretty shocked I was pretty much fighting for a skateboard myself. I even missed out on seing my friend fight for a pair of shoes he got. I was pretty happy after this protuct toss. I really wish i could have got those shoes though.

sacramento2!

At the skate jam they had an open best trick competition. Two of my friends entered it and so did tons of other people. It was a huge mess of skaters crashing into each other trying to land their tricks. Some ones skateboard shot in to my friends leg making him quit his attempts to skate. It was funny when all the skaters were focused on landing their tricks and some big fat guy just ran and dove on to the obsticle the competition was on. It wasn't so funny the second time though, it was kind of annoying. At the end, a little kid who ripped and some old guy one.

sacramento!

Last weekend I went to the 28th and b street skate park in Sacramento. It was so crowded! I tryed to skate the new boxes there, but I spent more time waiting to go than actually skating. It was packed because it was raining outside and it was the day of the nike sb skate jam for stefan janoski's new pro-model shoe. My friend was skating and right as he landed his trick, he got smacked in to the ground by a skater that wasn't watching where he was going. they both were bleeding afterwards. this probably happened over 10 times during the whole day with other people.
