㉓episode   Kick flip challenge          SK8-60

 First, I practice kicking the skateboard and rotating the skateboard in the air. When I was in my 50s, I used to rotate the skateboard just for fun, and I also used to rotate my skateboard during soccer bowl flips, so I thought it would rotate a little. However, there was no sign of the skateboard rotating in the air at all. I don't remember  my 50s. For me, even if I can rotate a skateboard using the force of pressing down on the ground with one foot on the ground, like a soccer bowl flip, it doesn't seem like a good way to practice the kick flip. I'll have to look into it quite closely.

I fell in love with the danger and exhilaration of skateboarding tricks. This may be something unique to modern thrill-seeking people. In contrast to large-scale roller coasters and bungee jumping, I pursue the thrill and excitement of honing my skills on the skateboard (only about 80cm long). Skateboarding is one of the events at the X Games. The X Games is the world's premier action sports competition (extreme sports that involve danger and stunts). As mentioned in the ollie, the potential of skateboarding is raised by the principle of leverage. In addition to that, I practice tricks by using the doubled power as an enemy (falling down) or as an ally (successful trick). Mastering skateboarding tricks is an patient goal, but as skateboarding is an action sport, dangerous events can occur at any time. I'm old, so it could end immediately.And even if I am attacked by a disease, it will end immediately. Even though I am prepared for today to be my last day, I am working hard on the kick flip that I have just started.

                      ・・・・・・・I'm still managing somehow.
