Mountain Biking

Today we practiced our mountain biking. I didn't realize how much I didn't know about bikes and mountain biking until this class. There is so much more to the sport. I learned a lot about the different parts of the bike and how to use your brakes and settings at certain times while riding. The course was somewhat challenging, but I think the endurance part of it was the hardest for me. It takes a lot of strength to go up hills.

Inline Skating

Today we did inline skating, which I haven't done since I was in grade school. I was suprised how much came back to me naturally, but I still need to practice. You could tell who the ones were that played hockey when they were younger. It was challenging, but a lot of fun to try again.

First impression (Day 1)

The first day of class made me a little nervous. I was excited about most of the activities, but nervous about some. I say that because a lot of them I haven't done before. I have always been pretty good at learning a new sport and not struggling very much, but these activities were different and challenging. Things such as juggling and riding a unicycle. I was scared at first hearing that we had to accomplish these activities, but then I realized that's what it is like for a lot of kids who are not athletic and having to play sports in PE.
