483 Words2 Pages

Learning how to do something new can be scary. One of the hardest things i ever had to do was learn how to ride my bike. i was always afraid of falling of my bike and getting scrapes and bruises. But my sister told be that learning how to ride my bike without training wheels would make me look cool. And the older kids wouldn 't laugh at me anymore. What i didn 't realize was riding a bike was harder than it sounded.

Trying new things were not my thing but neither was getting picked on by my older cousins. the first day i started trying to ride without them i put a helmet elbow pads and knee pads. My sister told me to try and ride with only one training wheel at first to learn to keep my balance. The first couple of times i fell off but i didn 't stop trying. my sister started holding onto the back and let go when she got the hang of it but i would tip right over again

A couple days later my sister went to help me again she grabbed on the back and held me up right. as she let go one of my older cousens came zooming past on his bike knocking me over. as i was falling i tried to grab onto the bike but it just made it land on me. i started crying not knowing how to feel, depressed,disappointed in myself for losing my balance. from that day i stopped riding i didn 't want to get hurt again all my cousins would come over and try to say …show more content…

As time passed i got more confidence my sister came over again and told me to try again. i got my bike out hoping she would change her mind saying i didn 't have to. As i got on i didn 't feel wobbly like i usually did. i felt secured she took off my last training wheel and told me to peddle so i did. i thought she was holding on the back because i wasn 't falling until i saw her running right beside me. i was delighted i did it as i turned the corner and saw my cousins standing around. i don 't know what came over me but i then did circles around them and chasing them about to run them over. i will never forget the day i

    We went up the hill for a couple of more runs, and just like you already know we got on the chairlift and put on our bindings once we got off.

    I got my first car the summer between my sophomore and junior year. It was a 2007 Ford Focus SES with a manual transmission. Learning how to drive a stick shift car was not as easy as I had expected it to be. I practiced a few times a week with my dad for the first couple months but could still rarely ever start from a stopped position without the engine dying at least once and the tires spinning a few times. It was very frustrating but one day a few weeks after my I had last practiced I decided to practice on my own by driving around the block while my dad was at work.

  • Dirt Bike Persuasive Speech

    Things are not going to go too well once you get up in the air if you have never done anything similar. This applies to all motorcycle or dirt bike skills; you must practice and slowly learn what needs to be done to complete any new skills. Having the idea that you will not crash or get hurt many times over is not how to go about riding. Expect that on every ride there is a good chance of getting hurt. This trial-and-error process may seem tedious, scary, and painful, but it is one of the reasons learning skills on a dirt bike can be rewarding.

    Looking back on my life thus far, I noticed that I’ve had to learn everything the hard way to be successful in my endeavors. For a brief and exhilarating explanation of this, I’m going to tell you the story of the first time I went snowboarding. I was around the age of 6 years and had previously skied, but because two of my older brothers were snowboarders, I figured it was due time I became one myself. Especially after obtaining the presumptive knowledge that the younger you learn something, the easier it is to pick it up. So, on one trip to Hespurus, I decided to rent snowboard equipment instead of the usual skiing ensemble.
