AUSSIE WORD OF THE DAY: Drongo : a dope, stupid person
Don't be a drongo!  Wear a helmet at the skatepark!

Found this one online... those eggs could be something else!

I like to skate at the Kurri Kurri skatepark because of it's design. It has great drops! There are a lot of neat and scary tricks you learn. I can already "drop-in,"roll backwards/switch, carve a bowl and some other things like flip around at the top of a ramp to go back down again.

I found a great site to read that tells me all about skateboarding tricks and what to look for when I want to buy a new skateboard.

Definitions: 
Drop In - Dropping the front wheels down and rolling into the ramp. This one can feel scary sometimes....

Rolling backwards - Rolling backwards or rolling with your opposite foot forward has a few names... fakie or switch are a couple.

Carve a bowl - go around a full or half bowl shape 

KICKFLIP

I think it is an awesome place! I am now getting skateboard lessons for $5 from a guy named Mitch... he can do a backflip onto his skateboard! He is teaching how to become a better skater. I really want to learn how to grind, ollie and do kick flips!!

Found this pic online - this is grinding... so cool!!
