Skate

Nice and helpful, were the two words that my friends would always use to describe me when I would ask them what was your first impression of me? Those would probably be the two words that I personally would have chosen myself. I know that I am the person I am today, because of the way I was raised. My life has generally revolve around my family and friends. My parents raised me to be well disciplined, loving and kind. My mother was a housewife she cleaned, cooked, and devoting herself to me and…

companions were known as the Z-boys (the "Z" remains for Zeffers, a skate company that supported them in skateboard rivalries). Before skate parks, half pipes and bowls were imagined, we would jump fences to get into random neighborhood swimming pools. Since there were numerous water dry seasons in California, all the swimming pools were low on water. So me and my posse would deplete the pools with buckets and trash bags and after that skate in them until the owner of the house got back from…

Skating is something I really hate doing. It is dumb, only thing that would make your butt hurt if you fall and bruise it. When I was a little girl, my dad use to always take my siblings and I skating every Friday. I had a blast. I could do everything, skate backwards, I could dance while skating. One day, it was so packed because of $2 Fridays. I was skating and these teenage girls pushed me on the ground, made me bend my wrist back. I had to to be rushed to the Emergency room, it was not so…

farfetched, but after knowing the whole process of waxing it makes sense how important it really is. When it comes to waxing first of all it depends on what kind of skis that are being waxed. I will be talking about waxing skate skis to start. To start waxing skate skis the skis need to be placed on the waxing bench, waxing iron needs to be plugged in, and the wax needs to be chosen. There are many different kinds of…

I feel that without skating that my life would not have the excitement and special feelings that I so want to have in my life. The passion fills me with happiness and joy which fills my heart every time I figure skate. The world of figure skating takes pure heart, passion, and hard work to get to the goal that all figure skaters want to get to. All figure skaters want to go to the Olympics and perform to the very peak of excellence. As I grew up, I have come to…

Numb, I couldn’t feel anything in my fingers and toes. I couldn’t even remember what I did the entire day. I couldn’t hear anything besides the ringing in my ears. I laid on the ice and was blinded by the lights in the arena. I knew it was bad, I’ve been hit before but this one was different, this is the kind where they say, it might be time to hang it up, if I had a nickel for every time some coach or some doctor said that to me, well I probably wouldn’t have to work anymore. The trainers came…

it as a job once they get sponsored. Recently over the past few years, skateboarders are being harassed by officer and are getting the cops called on them for skating the streets. There aren 't many safe haven skate spots so people find spots in various locations around their city and skate the landmarks around them Even though some people think that skateboarding destroys property, skateboarding is a legal activity and even a sport, and should not be treated as a crime. Created in the 1950s and…

Rewrite of Act 1, Scene 4 Scene opens in a large skating rink. Duncan enters with Lennox, Malcolm, Donalbain, and several servants. Loud music can be heard as they receive their skates from a man behind a counter. They all sit on thin benches to lace up their skates and begin discussing current events. Duncan: Is the traitor thane dead yet? I've been waiting for my executioners to return for over an hour! Malcolm: I'm sorry they're not back, Dad. They should know by now that being late…

The sky is a Carolina blue. The clouds look like wisps that have been painted with a paintbrush. The temperature is 68 degrees. The sun is partially blocked by the clouds but is slowly starting to show its full self. The pond ripples as a little kid skips a rock into it. The kid is wearing a Duke blue shirt and navy blue jeans. The water is a dirt brown and camo green color. The dirt swirls under the water like a tornado. There are long lime green plants coming out of the water on the right…

talented skaters everywhere around me. I was in a day dream until I heard my loud family slowly come behind me. When I realized I was in the real world, I quickly noticed that I only had three minutes to put on my skates for practice ice I snapped my skate bag open and hastily grabbed my skates, then ran out to the ice. All the other girls were taller than me so it was hard to get threw but when I finally reached the front, I dashed onto the ice. I quickly found my coach Rimma, and I can still…
