The extremest my sports got was rollerblading down the side of my house Though to be fair, that's probably cos I'm not a terribly sporty person...

whats bodyboarding? is that just the same as boogieboarding? i used to rollerblade until i slipped and landed head first on concrete..maybe thats why im doted wizard, just do what most tutorials tell you to do, if you can ollie, then its basically the same except have a foot to one side of the board so it turns

ah, well boogieboardings great how do you mean you cant land it, does the board over spin or do you land your back foot in the wrong place?

nah the spins fine, but yeah its the back foot always lands off, and iv been trying this new technique of doing a starjump, but it doesn't get enough spin o nthe board, so it never works, and usually messes up and hits me in the leg, FrustratioN! Yeh bodyboarding/boggieboardings ace.

lol dont star jump youll look funny when you do it I used to have the same problem, i think it was fear or having the foot in the wrong place and it snapping or something, but i just overcome it and got used to it
