Skateboarding!....

Yesterday afternoon my ADD got the best of me once again...you see I was so bored just sitting at home that I had to call up my friends Amber and Tari and see if they wanted to hang out...(I would have called Lindsey but she was working...imagine that! lol)...anyway so they agreed and we all met at Amber's house about an hour later but we werent' quite sure what we were going to do. ...well...after about five minutes of sitting outside I said "Why don't we look in the trunk of my car, I am sure there is something fun to play with in there!" If you know me, you know the trunk of my car. lol When we looked there were five 12 packs of soda, boxing gloves, tons of clothes, and of course my trusty skateboard! Now I am not that good at skateboarding, but seeing it in the back of my car gave me an idea...so I turned to Amber and asked her if she had any rope. After a ten minute search for rope it was time to initiate my plan. While Tari and Amber were asking what I was doing, I carefully tied the two ends of the rope to the inside of the trunk on the pieces of metal that held the trunk "lid" and then with a smile I grabbed my skateboard and shut the trunk with the rope hanging out of it. Then I looked at my friends and said "watch this!" and I pulled the rope as far as it would go and set my skateboard on the ground and after standing on it still holding the rope I turned to my friends and just simply smiled. They knew the plan! lol So after deciding that the Trinity Baptist parking lot was the best place to go we loaded up in my car and headed off. When we got there I got out the rope and Amber took a seat behind the wheel while I got on the skateboard. After giving her the thumbs up she started to take off and my skateboard started to roll. But then the wheel of the board got stuck and I flew off the skateboard because I was still holding onto the rope that was attached to the moving vehicle. But it wasn't going that fast so i didn't fall. After about an hour of just messing around, each one of us taking a turn on the board and trying different techniques such as sitting on the skateboard, I figured out that it worked best when I was sitting on the board and when I was being pulled uphill without any turns. When we went downhill my skateboard actually went faster than car and flew past it! lol So I suggested that we go to the New Gym parking lot and they try to pull me up the hill while I was sitting on the board! It worked perfectly! It was a blast!...By then it was 8 o'clock and I was walking down the hill so I could once again be pulled up it and who drives up but my DT (Lindsey)!!! And she just looked at the rope and the skateboard in my hand and sighed and said what are you doing? Then I proceeded to tell her I was having a blast and she should watch and she said "Oh my word...I can't watch...you are going to kill yourself!" That's why she's my DT! lol She was thinking of all the things that could happen to me and I was thinking of all the fun I was having! lol So after showing her just how much fun it was, she still thought I was crazy and I was exhausted so I put my skateboard away for the night and we parted ways....and even though I will probably go skateboarding again it's good to know that I always have my DT who is there for me and is looking out for my best interest...and even though I don't like it when she makes me stop and think about how I could get hurt...it means maybe next time I will wear a helmet and I will be less likely to hurt myself! lol
