Longboard.

For my birthday I got a Globe longboard and it is gorgeous! I'm obsessed with it. As you know me and my brother like to go up the road every now and then for an hours skate or so and just cruise around and Harry practices his tricks. We like to go (if its not dark) after school or at the weekends during lunchtime where everyone is at work as our skate spot is a busy road. We normally also go when the sun is going down and take millions of shots of the sunset as you can see all of the fields and houses and even the lake, so the sunset is stunning. 

On Sunday Harry and I went for a skate and this was my first actual time going on my longboard because the first ever time I went on it was on my birthday and it started to rain so I went home. Longboards are very different to my other boards that I have because its so much more quieter and smoother. I can actually cruise around on it without it making any squeaking noises like my globe cruiser does. The only bad thing I would say about it is that it is kind of heavy and eventually starts to ache your arms when you carry it but other than that its my favourite board I own. 

Here are some photos that me and Harry took :)

On Monday, after school me and Harry went skating again. This time it was actually sunny, it was like summer it was really warm. But also instead this time we filmed where we went and us skating and of course took some photos too. So here are some more photos. 
 I will put the video up on my Youtube channel later.

 

 I ADORE these shots of Harry! He has gorgeous freckles.

 Goodbye for now! See you soon <3

My passion for skating.

Today my post is about my skating and my passion for it.

I have been skating for about two years now and it is defiantly something I love! When Penny Boards came out and everyone got one, I obviously got one and that was my first board. I got it from a surf shop in St Ives. It then took me an hour to learn how to skate and I was so happy with myself. Over that summer I had some of my friends come over with their penny boards and we skated all day and my Mum took some photos for us.

 I skated pretty much every day to get better and better and then in September my brother got his first deck. I got bored of my penny and kept stealing my brothers deck and learnt have to skate on that deck. I then got a t-shirt of a local brand called Thrashion and I was asked to model it and promote it in a online magazine at mount hawke skate park in November and I stole my brother's board for that.

 

Finally on 16th of November I got my first deck and fell straight away in love with. Its a Girl skateboard and it came from Nottingham. It was a custom deck so my Dad picked all the parts of it for me, and on my birthday he wrapped every part of the board individually.

Now I only use my board for when I go to skate parks. I don't like doing tricks, I have a fear off falling off and breaking something. So hopefully this year I'm going to get a long board and get back into my cruising because I prefer doing that and going really fast. I've always wanted to learn to skate but now that I have my deck I have realised that I don't want to do tricks.
