J: Ah, you're in. Hello! C: Hey!
*kiss* That was fun! J: It was!
C: Apart from my epic falls. J: *laughing*
*music*
[crash]
J: But we've been having fun learning that we are both good on four wheels
C: Yeah! J: Yeah!
C: I'm having a bit of a hair issue though J: Yeah
Actually no. It's working for me.
You've just got to stick your face into the wind and you're good.
C: Okay J: There we go
C: There we go J: Beautiful!
But you know, I really love my wheelchair. That's what I've learned today.
I'd forgotten how much I love my wheelchair
C: Yeah, you're really good on it. Better than I am on my, like, board.
But then you did go around on your wheelchair for how many years?
Maybe like three overall? C: Yeah.
I've been on my skateboard when I was like 13 years old for about six months
And mainly I just sat on it and went down my driveway, which was on a slight hill, on my bum.
So I think I did quite well today. J: You did well.
C: I'm fighting the elements and the wind. J: Learning. She's learning.
Yeah, but it seems strange because people would think that being in a wheelchair
would be really awful and wouldn't be fun
But actually it's amazing because I feel so much freer and more independent in my wheelchair
Because I can just go wherever I like. C: Yeah.
J: Move quickly at the pace of a human C: Yeah I know
J: And not just "Jessica speed" which is what I normally move at
C: Apart from when people decide it's their business to come over and tell you how to cure yourself
[music stops]
*angry hissing*
*music*
J: So, I just got stopped by a lady who asked me if my energy was blocked to my legs
If my energy chakra was perhaps out of whack
And maybe if I thought deeply about the energy in my legs they would be better.
Oh my god. C: Whateverrrr
*angry hissing*
J: That's so unfortunately common. It's so common.
But I ju- thank you. But I just had a lovely day.
C: Yeah! So did I and it's really nice
It was forecast to be a bit better than it is today, but it's still sunny I mean it's like.....
nearly....it's like nearly November so...
J: My parents currently being battered by a storm called Brian! C: Storm Brian!
Yeah, we don't have cool names like they do in the USA, it's just like.....Brian.
J: So we're doing well. We're doing well. Brian's not got us.
C: Aww it's really really pretty scenery
My hair is doing some awful- I'm getting some weird like center parting here now I'm sure
J: Oh dear....
C: I can't do the glamorous thing that Jessica does
Anyway, it's been fun
J: Yeah C: We'll try and make some more like.....
you know, California-esque....
skateboarding.......
wheelchairing, like, tricks and slo-mo.....
I'll probably improve- J: Yeah maybe not in England.
C: Yeah we might have to improve our four wheel driving first.
J: We'll work on it. Well do that cool thing like the girl who dances on the longboard.
C: Oh she's awesome! Yeah!
J: Her. C: Check her out.
J: That one. C: We'll put the link below of who it is
I can't remember right now, but she's really cool.
I don't normally wear these gloves either although I'm kind of rocking them, I think.
J: I think you look awesome! C: They're actually Jessica's wheelchair gloves
But I thought I better put them on just for my many epic falls to, like-
J: And? What did they do? They saved you.
C: Yeah! My hands are not grazed. I have a slightly twisted ankle but oh well.
Now we can be like buddies. J: Awww
C: I can go round on your crutches. J: Hop-along buddies.
C: Yeah. Hobble-along buddies.
Alright well, it's been fun. J: Hope you've enjoyed the video.
*music*
[inaudible]
J: Okay. Let's skate.
