72episode  Front 180 (7)         SK8-60(Japanese)

 Front 180 is a skateboarding trick in which you turn your skateboard and body  in mid-air 180 degrees.

It wasn't by chance that I was able to do Front 180, I got a pretty good run-up and was able to do it. So I land in the switch stance and let it run. Now I want to be able to continue and do skateboard tricks. For me, it's not realistic to do tricks from the switch stance unless I can do the switch ollie. So I'm going to practice tricks that can be done in the fakie stance (sliding backwards in the normal stance) since the tail of the skateboard is forward when landing Front 180.

 I increased suddenly feeling scared that It's been a problem for a while now when I get into position while practicing them. Furthermore, I almost choked on my breath just before I tried to snap the skateboard in Front 180. I have a negative personality, just like the national character, so I try not to worry too much about it...

As a side note on national character, Japan is an island nation located between two continental plates (Eurasian and North American plates) and two oceanic plates (Pacific and Philippine Sea plates). Therefore, I believe that Japanese people are passive , but  the Japanese people are tenacious, have strong inner energy, and have been able to overcome disasters such as volcanic activity, earthquakes, and even typhoons, as the area is in their path. I'm in my 60s and not very persistent (contrary to my national character), but I'm still continuing. practicing skateboarding tricks .
