One of my favorite sports is skateboarding. There are a lot of parts to skateboarding. There are the wheels, trucks, decks, and grid tape. Some tricks you can do on a skateboard are the Kick Flip, Manual, Grind, Heel Flip, 360, Ollie and Mctwist. Some pro skate boarders I like are: Tony Hawk, Bam Margera, Paul Rodriguez, Ryan Sheckler, and Bob Burnquist.
Sometimes I like to go to the skate park. Lots of people go there. Some people go there with their skateboards, bikes, scooters, and roller blades. Skate boarding is a good way to get your exercise every day.

I love basketball. It requires a lot of running, which is good because it helps to keep me in shape. I can easily lose weight playing. I love how competitive basketball can be. It is an amazing feeling when you score a lay up or a free throw, or any shot for that matter. There is nothing better than the feeling of winning though. You just feel so alive when you are out on the court. You feel like nobody can catch you and you are flying with the wind. I love the fact that both boys and girls can play this sport. Although, sometimes it can be frustrating, it is so much fun to play. Besides this, you don’t have to have a partner to play with. Like for instance volleyball, in order to practice you have to have a partner to pass back and forth to. Well, this is not true with basketball, you can just shoot hoops without the help of another person.
Yeah, basketball is pretty much amazing!! : )

I have played soccer for 10 years. I started because when I was little I used to kick volleyballs and basketballs. My parents were sick of me making them go flat, so they signed me up for community soccer. Then, after that, I liked it so mush that that I kept playing but on the AYSO team. I have had one coach for nine years and then I had one more. I spent time with them and learned to do some pretty fancy moves. Most of my friends joined too, so I get to hang out with them and play a sport that I love. I am pretty good at it too, which makes it even more fun. I love soccer so much. Soccer is my life.
