the smart local what's up guys I'm saying and some of you might not know me
but I was the winner from the recent smart local television competition and I
am back with a new studio and a new segment and in this segment I will be
given a set of skills to learn in 24 hours 24 hours will be spread across a
few days and within that few days I'll be doing my research finding stuff on
the Internet basic skills for me to learn the resources the producers have
prepared for me a list of skills in this hole is it okay go on
okay let's what put this together okay
whoo-oop part of me like just when I just dropped I tried
Warners giving for a night filming but and he was like a traumatic experience
for me so without further ado I'm not gonna waste any more time I am going off
wish it's not a time in now so let's go alright so right now I am back and I
have my laptop with me I'm gonna go to youtube how to skateboard for beginners
I am going to find the list of tricks that I will need to do for me to change
myself because I wanna be overly ambitious so that I can a nice reach my
full potential you know this is saying like if you aim for so high by if you
don't make it's higher than invented as it makes
sense the first thing I'm going to learn is how to jump last cruise on it okay so
there are a lot of tens chicks I will try to master no speaker I have hundred
ad no complier these are the things I will be trying out this is my technique
so of course the resources I will need I need to get to find a skateboard are
nettly is this your skateboard and I bought it
again thank you provides I need my outfit yeah
of course all you want to be asked is appointments just it okay gentlemen this
is all I have I think I am ready to take on this skills for this episode let's go
yes all right so right now I have my skipper with me balancing is damn ha ha
keep going on the skipper hit machine I can feel that oh yeah boo they should
invest in a shin guard only on the first hour of practicing so I am actually
trying to maneuver because I think I can get on the board nicely it's just that I
don't know how to maneuver my board to go laughs all right
five minutes later
okay so right now I'm at a fifth hour mark of my progress and honestly I think
I have exceeded my expectation because for someone like me who has never ever
practiced on a skateboard or further I was able to like cruise and actually
like maneuver I just feel that it is the best I can do already for this five hours.
It is the fact that I'm afraid of falling because i fell quite a few times
and actually hurt really bad so the trauma like the phobia of falling
and hurting myself is the only challenge because i'm scared to like move forward
or do other stuff.
i am looking forward to being able to actually try more
tricks in the next couple of hours.
Alright! so currently I am at a
basketball court and I'm gonna try to attempt the ollie trick.
Which I saw on the video that this girl attempted in nine minutes.
oh God
Right now I have been making very little progress on my trick so I think I
would have to refer back to my youtube tutorial because I keep on falling.
Oh so it's like like this motion.
Lets see if it works.
Ooww!
Shed the tear!
No! I'm a man!
Shed the tear!
I will keep doing until I get it!
Its the end of day one and..
honestly, i think my progress
so far has been okay.
But I think day two itself I am going to come prepared with shin pad because I got injured a
couple of times on my shins.
Day two, I am going to start afresh,
I'm going to be motivated and I'll catch you guys in a bit.
so I just made friends with one of the skaters here his name is Nick.
he told me that the first trick that a beginner needs to learn is how to ollie
okay so I have met another skater at the skatepark.
His name is Zaki.
And he just taught me how to ollie.
How many hours do you think I need to get (the trick)?
Two hours continously, non-stop.
Get the feel lah.
Two hours and I'll see you.
And see if it works.
But don't fall in front of me, now I scared already.
I'm kind of like tryna keep my spirits up and not be demoralized but
each time I fail I get 10 times demoralized than usual, I don't know why.
Currently I'm at the 15 hour mark. I am calling a day because my entire body is
I am calling it a day because my entire body is
just aching. I have injuries from before and it's
coming up. I mentally emotionally drained because I am getting a bit more
demoralized today I'm at my lowest point in my journey as of now.
I will try again and see how tomorrow and see if I can actually continue with this.
So I'll see you guys till tomorrow then. Bye!
I'm at a skate park in my last two hours
and I found another skater, Derek!
Hello!
Okay so I've been letting how to ollie.
So try maybe like popping your back foot higher.
Oh nice!
Like lift the back foot (up).
put your force and then, like you're riding the horse.
I think it's decent.
You're getting a little better.
A little better?
I see a little inch of air.
Alright I'm gonna try this again for the next 15 minutes or so and I'll get back
to you guys on this alright?
Thank you Derrek!
You got it!
Oh My God, I can't.
Step on it!
Harder!
I did it!
I can now do of freaking Ollie and it's the best feeling ever
I will see you guys back in the studio but for now, yeah!
We did it!
Alright guys!
And we're back!
Wow, what a journey this has been.
Overall, within 24 hours, I was able to learn how to actually cruise, how to maneuver and
also attempt an Ollie but I do admit it was done on grass which is of course
unfair but I think as someone who has never tried skateboarding before this
was definitely one crazy experience there were countless of times whereby I actually
wanted to just really give up I was trying my best to do everything that I
could to make sure that every second counts thinking about the skaters who
don't judge you and then they are very open to teaching you and helping you
with the skills it warms my heart and it makes me want to work harder.
Honestly, I really not thinking that I would be able to do an Ollie.
That is all for this particular challenge today.
If you have any more challenges, any more skills that
you will want me to try it within 24 hours, please leave in the
comments section down below if you guys enjoyed this video as much as I enjoyed
making and doing this for you guys please like share and subscribe and
until the next skill, I'll see you guys in a bit!
Ciao!
