It was a breezy day out, Tim announced “do you want to go on the trampoline,” out from his window, looking like he had ants in his pants.
“Yes, I'll come jump with you,” I replied hesitating. “Meet in my backyard” I shouted. Slowly walking down stairs.
Tim was my next door neighbor, he lived right behind me. Except we went to different schools, so we rarely saw each other during school days. Except when we do hang out Tim always gets stuff on his first try no matter how hard it may be. We were both learning how to do a flip. Neither of us had a trampoline, so we went to our neighbors house. Our neighbor's trampoline was in their backyard. They had a Springfree trampoline. We walked down their driveway and into the backyard. We took our shoes off, put our phones down, and hopped right on.
“Watch out I'm going to do a flip, you can go after me.” Tim yelled bouncing high. “Go ahead,” I called moving out of his way.
Of course, he

After a while, Tim and I started walking towards the trampoline. “If I get hurt again I'm never going back on a trampoline again” I confirmed hoping I will land a flip this time. We took our shoes off, put our phones down and got on. I started jumping and jumping thinking to myself, I got this I got this I got this. I was super hot and super nervous I put my head forward tucked but I stopped in the middle I could not do it.
“I'll try one last time,” I firmly said, starting to jump again.
I started jumping higher and higher still crazy hot, than at the highest point I leaned forward tucked my knees pulled my hands to my knees and flipped. While in the air feeling like everything was upside down, I hoped that I would land it. All I saw was everything spinning around in a circle Immediately I was on the trampoline perfectly fine. I was not hurt or cut I was quite fine.
“Yes yes yes I did it” I screamed super excited.
“Great job I told you that you could do it,” Tim spoke feeling really happy for
The day started with clear blue skies and not a cloud in the sight. The only noise that you could hear was a concert given by the nearby crickets, and a lonely bull frog singing nearby in unison. As the evening passes on a sharp snoring noise can be heard muffled softly.
Flapping my arms everywhere and trying to stand up straight. After I became stable again, somewhere within me came confidence. I closed my eyes and told myself once more to allow myself to jump. I opened my eyes and I was falling straight down. As I fell the fear was still there and my stomach got the weird rollercoaster feeling in it.
Every year I am always wanting to land all new types of tricks. One trick that I wanted to learn was a 360. I have always wanted to try this trick, but I never had enough courage to do so. One day I went out and decided I was going to go for it and give it a shot. Me being able to just try the trick put me out of my comfort zone by a great deal.
Arriving at Lacey’s house I walk to the backdoor letting myself into the house. Lacey was putting on tanning lotion in the kitchen, “Lacey,” I called to her, “my mom wants me to pick up snacks for the beach, do you want to go into town with me?”, “Sure,” she replied, “do you mind if my cousin comes with us?”, “Of course I don’t mind,“ I answered, “but we have to get moving, my dad only left me the car to use ‘til noon.”
The second time I got into position again, determined to get up I yelled “Ready.” This time I put too much pressure on my front foot and fell forwards.
I didn’t really have of enough time to really think about. I’m going for it ,so i get ready for the jump. “Baam!” I failed almost landed face first into the sidewalk but i put my hands out to break my fall and landed wrong on it.
In paragraph eight it states that jumping on a trampoline is a good activity for exercise. Even though doing a flip unsupervised is unsafe, if you are supervised or have been trained to do flips it is very good exercise. All the tricks or jumping you do on a trampoline is very healthy for you and your body. Lastly, running around on the trampoline and getting your heart racing and your blood flowing is good for your
After my birthday weekend, my family and I, all went to Harbor Island for a week or so. It was the family tradition to usually go there on my birthday, but this year we went the week after, so that meant no skating for me for awhile. I always go out to eat the Saturday after my birthday once I get back from the beach, but that year I went to the beach early the Saturday after my birthday till the next Sunday, and then out to eat the Saturday after we got back. That meant three Saturdays of no skating. BUt back to the real story, after all my friends were done coming up to me, I was ready to go skate. I noticed the floor was really shiny but I now had forgotten about my new slick skates that I had gotten at my birthday party the week before. I went out on the floor, made a few laps around and then one of my favorite songs came on. I looked around for my brother and his friends, but they were nowhere to be found, so I just started doing my own thing. I started swaying my skates in and out of each other, where the wheels would touch. By this time I wasn’t looking down at my feet anymore, and somebody I really liked walked in the door and It caught my attention. You know the puppy love, the guy who you fall head over heels for when you’re ten years old. Well that was him, he was older and my brother said I wasn't allowed to have a
When my family and I went out on our boat in Lake Rays town, I said to my dad as we rode by a big rock that people were jumping off, "Can we go cliff jumping?" Since, I didn't like being scared of heights so I felt, maybe this was a chance to get over it. On or way to the cliff I was terrified but I wanted to accomplish this so I stuck to it. As we were getting closer to the rock I was getting more and more nervous. I was so close to telling my dad to turn back but I didn't. I kept thinking throughout my mind what if I slip and fell? I was afraid that I may get seriously injured.
I could not wait to get off that ski lift. As soon as my skis hit the snow I shoot off the ski lift heading towards the jumps to get ready. As I get to the top I notice how much adrenaline I have and how excited I am to do this trick. I set myself up for my line and I start my way to the first jump. As I approach the first jump I repeat the trick I did earlier, I spin a 360 with a tweak grab and overshoot by a few feet again.
As I saunter onto the school field, I survey the premises to behold people in coats, shielding themselves from winter's blues. The sun isn't out yet, but the place bursting with life and exuberance, with people gliding across the ice covered floor almost cat-like. The field is effervescent and despite the dire conditions, the field seems to have taken on a life of its own. The weather is bad and the ice seems to burn the skin if touched, yet the mood is still euphoric. The bare shrubs and plants about the place look like they've been whipped by Winter himself. The air is frosty and at every breath the sight of steam seems to be present. A cold, cruel northerly wind blows across the playground and creates unrest amongst some. Crack! The crisp sound of leaves is heard, as if of ice splitting and hissing. Squirrels are seen trying to find a point of safety, scurrying about the bare trees that lie around the playground. Mystery and enigma clouds the playing field, providing a sense of anticipation about the place. Who is going to be the person to spoil the moment? To kill the conversation?
The Creature That Opened My Eyes Sympathy, anger, hate, and empathy, these are just a few of the emotions that came over me while getting to know and trying to understand the creature created by victor frankenstein in Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. For the first time I became completely enthralled in a novel and learned to appreciate literature not only for the great stories they tell but also for the affect it could have on someones life as cliché as that might sound, if that weren’t enough it also gave me a greater appreciation and understanding of the idiom “never judge a book by its cover.” As a pimply faced, insecure, loner, and at most times self absorbed sophomore in high school I was never one to put anytime or focus when it came time
When we got to the competition, I had to register in my individual event. After registration, the team got ready to perform. The smell of hairspray overwhelmed us as the representative of the National Cheerleading Association said, “Maryland Twisters, you may take the floor.”
I have never circled something so quickly before. I was finally going to be a gymnast, and I knew that I had to start preparing as soon as I could. The summer before walking into Rolling Meadows High School as a freshman, I did a lot of handstands at home. Sometimes I would ty to hold the handstands for a minute without leaning on the wall. I was scared of kicking up too hard and landing on my back at first, but I had already landed on my back and falling was not that bad. By the time the school year began, I was no longer afraid to push my kick-ups harder knowing that even if I pushed too hard, I would get back up and try
Growing up in the city of Washington, DC in 1976, I used to sit on my parents’ bedroom floor, watching TV. I decided to turn the channel one day to the Olympics. I noticed that there were these girls, who were doing some amazing flips. I’d never seen anything like it before. I knew nothing about the balance beams, vaults, and the floor exercises. It was like I jumped into a whole new world.
