28 April 2012
It was a hot and sunny day on about the 8th July, and I was down at the beach. Not to build sand-castles or sunbathe on the bay, but to SKATE!
The beach has it's own personal skate park, which was voted the best in the US, 2 years running! The thing that catches your eye when you walk in is, the Scoop. The Scoop is basically a MASSIVE Half-Pipe with a huge gap in the middle of it, and any skater good enough to get past it is known as the Scooper. I'm not quite ready to tackle the Scoop YET, but I'm practising really hard.
I was messing about on my board in the half-pipe, when I saw a group of teens chatting next to the Scoop, they looked about my age too. The first guy I noticed was wearing a red Billabong T-Shirt, baggy jeans and a baseball cap with the Yankees logo on the front. The second guy had dark skin, and wore a green Hawaiian shirt which had a trippy floral pattern on it and long and baggy denim shorts. The last, was a girl, she had short, dark brown hair, and she was wearing a black vest with cropped denim jeans. There where also 3 other girls chatting to the guy in the red. All 3 of those I described where carrying skateboards, so I assumed where skaters like me. I leaped up onto a long rail and began to grind my way down. At that moment the girl I was looking at a minute ago started waving in my direction, I looked behind me to see who she was waving at, but there was no one there. Just as I turned back she shouted at me:
"I'M WAVING AT YOU, SILLY!"
I grinned at her, and just as I was about to raise my hand and wave back... SMACK! Blackness.
