68episode  Front 180 (6)         SK8-60(Japanese)

Amazingly, I was able to complete  Front 180 smoothly. Oh, I accomplished it. I finally managed to do the skateboarding trick. Moreover, I was able to do a technical Front 180 (turning the nose on a flat surface). I did Front 180 by moving the skateboard forward a little, stopping when I landed with a lack of momentum(far from being able to run through in switch stance), then pushed the skateboard (kicked off the ground with one foot) and was able to skate in switch stance. I was able to experience a dream moment of skateboarding from Front 180 to a switch stance.

 I don't know if  Front 180 I managed to do was just a coincidence, or if I'll be able to do it consistently. And when I was practicing this Front 180, I suddenly became scared when  I was in a prepared state. I have not been able to completely get over this sudden feeling of timidity.  Although I am a bit anxious, I am aiming to improve my skateboarding tricks.

Skateboarding tricks are as numerous and shining as the stars in the night sky, and I will continue to pursue them as long as my body can move.

・・・I'm grateful for my first make( Front 180)!
