Personal Narrative-The Trampoline

‘’RR’’ I bounced on the old rusty trampoline, preparing myself to flip over and do a tuck. I looked at the camera I had set up to record myself, I had sworn I was doing it wrong and I needed to see what I was doing. I soon later found out I was doing it REALLY wrong.

It was scary at the moment, but now looking back at the video I still have a laugh very hard. I also realize I was super dumb to jump on a trampoline without a
