Progression...
|
|
| |
|
you've
probably heard this word over and over, but what does it really
mean? |
|
| Trying
new things to push our sport, yea. But ask your self this
question, do you try to progress our sport or progress your
tricks? |

I know I do

Today:
I set up a wedge to wedge with a self-made ledge made out of
cinder blocks in my driveway. The ledge was two cinder blocks high
and had a kink at the bottom. The wedges were one foot high. So I
ran it up a couple times, manualed down the ledge, and quickly got
bored
of it. But I had nothing else to do but ride
so I tried different things on my homemade ramp. First I tried to
do a one footed manual down the ledge, a trick I have never done
before. Amazingly
I pulled it smooth the first time and the first word that came to
my mind was "Progression."
Soon I was so excited to try new things on my shady ramp. So then,
after a couple minutes of thought, I tried to do a can-can manual
down my ledge. I ran it up and washed out the first couple of
times, but then I finally pulled it
and I was stoked. Eventually I got to trying a nose wheelie down
it which I was not successful on and an icepick which I pulled for
the first time
ever. |

My ramp
sucked pretty bad, but it held up. And this is one of the
best days i've had because I pushed
myself to try new things. |
| Maybe if you
push yourself
to try new things you'll be as stoked as I
am. |
|
|
|
| Now
go out and try something you have never done before. |
