December Update

Another month has passed full of great memories and opportunities =)

I am happy to report that this month's progress on my BMX was great.
First of all, I've decided to train on an abandoned junk yard, which has a vast area on which to train on.

There for, since it is a junk yard, I was able to set an obstacle course and practice it over and over again.
I have now learned to bunny hop pretty high, and I am able to make a perfect one.

The perfect one is when you pull your front forward before the back leaves the ground and then level the tires so that you land on them together at the same time.

I have also learned how to place my self on the back tire while still standing on the pedals, even though I still fall many times... =)
I have worked a lot on my balance, especially, balancing the bike almost at a stand still. It's going great ^^

Other than that, the school was really pushing down on me, so that's about it for my training.
Actually, to be honest, as I am writing this I should be studying full time. I have a test tomorrow, and I don't know anything yet. =P

Other news:
I've spent the new year in Macedonia, in Skopje. It was great, and I've met a lot of good people, some of which I'd like to stay in touch with.
I have decided to live a better life, and this time, I seriously plan on keeping the promise.

Other than that, have a great new year, and live your life, for you only have one. =)

(Sorry, but there are no pictures of this month. If I get any, I'll update the blog)

November Update

As you can see, I have changed the whole look of the Blog.

Also, as you may have noticed, I have deleted all previous posts... The reason for that is that I don't really have time to post daily updates, not even weekly. You see, I'm actually trying to spend as little time on my computer as possible, and with that, living a better, fuller life.

I guess there are more people out there like me, because I found this site... =)

Anyways, blogging every day was just too much for me, was keeping me from daily activities and studying. So, I have decided only to post monthly updates of me BMXing.

Ok, so lets look at November.

I have been training around 4 days a week, since the weather wasn't really playing along...
But I did have a set of beautiful sunny days, and on those days I rode some more, enough to compensate for that.
One of the days I took the bike off road to nearby hills with my brother. This is his Blog.
I originally planned to have the bike for off road racing and jumping, but since it has no suspension, I decided it's best to keep it to the roads.

I have learned to bunny hop, and can jump pretty high now.
I have learned how to stand only on my front pegs and drive around.
I'm still working on driving backwards, and, that really is hard. ^^
I have improved my balance and control over the bike.
And I am learning to stand solely on my front wheel. That meaning that the back wheel is in the air.

Conclusion:
I have a lot to learn, but BMXing really is fun and I don't intend to stop it. =D
