Skateboarding and Karate


Call it a mid-life crisis but yes, today, I went skateboarding including trying a half pike and took a beginners Karate class.

I am sooooo sore but it was fun and I was better at skateboarding than Karate! Wow!

I guess my few times I went skiing when I was much younger and did really well for a beginner proved out because skate boarding felt similar to me and I liked the back and forth movement.

I almost fell a couple of times but thankfully didn't.

Karate was harder than I thought. Such basic moves..but if you are not "right on", it doesn't work out for you.

I guess if you had to throw a punch, your timing better be right on or else it won't get you much!

Anyway, it was fun trying these two new activities and I see a LOT more of it in my future...even if WAS only on the Wii Fit!

you had me going...i was picturing you on a skateboard outside, with knee pads and a helmut and long shorts, the whole get-up. Anthony started martial arts in town and it is hard, but it is extremely fun to watch him learn. I don't think I could ever do it, too many details to remember.

You had me going too.
I was picturing you at Van's Skate Park, flying past all the skater dudes.
We really need to get Wii Fit. That sounds like fun.
