The skatepark. The place where i could be who i really am. As i came into the skatepark I saw the regular locals taping a litke vid on the 6 stair set. I walked past them my board in my arm. I nodded to them as i saw them land a tre flip down the steps. I trew down my board and pushed a bit farther in the park. I headed to a silent and alone part in the park. There wasn't anyone in this area of the park. It had a flatbar, a halfpipe, a 10 set of stairs with rails and a litle fountain with a ledge. I came here all the time. Most of the time i would skate alone but sometime some of the locals would follow me and play a game of skate. As i came to my spot I pushed to the half pipe. I ollied onto the elevated platform and got of my skate board. I ran toards the curved wall and ran up it. I grabbed the edge and pulled my self up it.  I sat on the edge of the half pipe and changed my music to: Dodge & Fusky Ft. Splitbreed Bringing Wobble Back. I put my fone back on my pocket and stood up. I grabbed my board and placed it on the edge. I stood on the tail and looked down. I then leaned down and dropped into the halfpipe. I just kept pumping for a while in there. After I was warmed up I pumped down a bit harder. As i reached the edge of the halfpipe i caught some air and did a litle melon 180 grab. I saw as the ground twisted and let go of my skateboard just in time. When I reached the other side I did a small beanplant to fingerflip. As I caught the board with my feet and landed on the halfpipe i pumped up harder to try something I was practicing for my sponsor me video. As I rolled toards the edge I contracted my body as much as i could toards the left. Twisting my arms all the way. WHen i reached the edge i realeased all that stored energy in my body turning with all my strength toards the right. I turned a whole 360 and then another. And when i was about to land it I kicked my board with my back foot into a inwards heelflip. I reached with my feet to catch the board but miscaltulated the distance beetween my skateboard and pushed it too far down with my front foot. -Bull sh- Was all i managed to say before my skateboard front trucks got stuck on the coping and I kept going down. I landed on my knees and slidd down. The pain was horrible as i felt the quarter pipe literally burn the skinn on my knees. As i reached the flatpart I rolled on my sides. Over and over and over. Ouch. I was bleeding out of my arm and my knees burnt. -Haha that was better than i ussualy do.- I said and ninjakicked to my feet. I got my skateboard from the ground. I checked to see if the skate was good. It was perfect. That was weird. I never really landed it but it wasnt the inward heelflip that gave me problems. I had that trick preety down. There must have been something else. I remember now! there was a flash. Like maybe a camara flash. I remember looking to the bushes to see where it came from and i lost my board feel. I looked toards the bushes. There didnt seem to be anything. I trew my skateboard down and got down the halfpipe. I rolled  a bit and heelflipped over a kicker. Flash. There it was again. Ok so whoever was taking pictures was somewhere aroung here. I headed toards the litle manny pad and ollied ontoit and did a nose manual. As the flash came i looked to where it came from and locked it down. As I nollied out of the pad I knew what i was going to do. As i rolled smoothly down the park. I then suddenly ran of my skateboard and kicked it to my hands. I sprinted toards the bushes. I heard rustling as something moved inside the bushes. When i broke trough the bushes the mistery fotografer was preety far away. I could only catch a glance of long curly hair in a ponytail. It was a girl aparently. And a very atractive one at that.
