My goals are to where to get better at turning and staying on my board for longer. Two challenges today were getting used to the terrain I full over 3 times one of them scraped my knee. An ah-a moment was when I fell over and I thought is there somewhere easier to skate so I got up and found the ground on the hotel was perfect for me to practice

In this video, I am attempting to head down the hallways of my floor.

A goal for tomorrow is to practice my turning.

Sorry, I can’t have a picture because I am travelling today I am sorry.

Challenges that I will face is the terrain I find it hard to skate on the bumpy or rocky ground, another challenge getting used to skating I haven’ skated in tow days and I need to get back in the grove of skating again. At the end of the project, I hope to be able to turn alright and stay on my skateboard for extended times.

My research questions were how can I stay on my skateboard for 5 mins? My second one was how can I turn on my board? What I found for my turning was tic tacking this is where you lift up the front of the bord and turn it in the direction that you are going (Spencer Nuzzi/2013)and the second one was leaning on my board can turn it. ( Andy/2017)I didn’t find a direct way to keep on my board longer but I did find some tips like keep riding your board as much as you can and surround you with people that are better than you so you can pick up go tips and they can push you to your limits.
