I think I’m also going to do the sport ladder. I did it one other time. I know I’m still not good enough to enter one of the freestyle divisions. But it looks like I have some competition in the ladder. 😛 ---

teehee. popn fresh was my most inconsistent trick when I did the ladder, I think I landed it though. Somehow screwed up on skin the gerbil though… Good fun though. Strange how I knew almost all of the tricks at the end. Like spirit bomb and hook. ---

I’m really bad at pop n fresh too. I know how to do it, I’m just really inconsistent at it. That was my first miss. Usually I can do Eli hops but I messed it up last time. ---
