Title:Skate 3

Story: The story is about 2 skaters who live in Philadelphia that's trying to get sponsored by a good skate company, and then they went out one day and found the skaters they've always wanted to meet and got sponsored and became famous.

Chapter 1: It all began on a sunny Monday morning, Christopher woke up, turned on the television and the MTV Dew Tour Awards was on. He immediately called his friend Tyler ''!Ring!, !Ring!, !Ring!. Suddenly Tyler picked up. ''Yo whassup'' Tyler said, Chris replied ''yo are you going skating today?'' Tyler replied ''yes'' then they hung up.
1 hour later the 2 skaters met up at El kens Park.Tyler challenged Christopher in a game of skate Tyler went up first he grabbed his board went up the half pipe and tried to kick flip he was unsuccessful then it was Christopher's turn he got his board and pushed with speed, he Ollie the rail and landed with a Nollie Heel Flip.

After the skate challenge Tyler went home angrily, while Chris went home with a smile on his face with and the sent of victory. Later that day Tyler decided to watch some of his favorite Mike Valley skate videos on YouTube while he watched he saw a trick called the Flamingo which he thought he could do, As the story proceeds Tyler discovered that he could in fact do the trick, however Chris was also practicing. One day later, they revisited the skate park to challenge each other,again Chris did alot of tricks Tyler was better than Chris so Tyler decided to finish it once and for all by doing the new trick he learned called the "Flamingo".After trying the trick a few times he finally got it and beat Chris in Skate for the first time. After the skate challenge,Tyler said that they should go watch skate videos. Chris said that they should rematch.
A: Follow Tyler and watch skate videos to learn new tricks.
B: Agree with Chris and have a rematch

After they agreed to have a rematch they called their friends Bam Margera and Alex Brouse. On the way, the two skaters went to get a drink of Redbull at 7Eleven, two minutes later when they were coming out the store they sat down on the curb. Tyler begun to open his can and suddenly the can was shaking Tyler didn't pay it any attention, when he begun to drink the beverage exploded in his face and all over his skateboard damaging his Grip Tape then all of a sudden a little pit bull arrived and urinated on Chris's board. ''This can't get any worse'' said Tyler.
Chris wanted to go to Zumiez and get a new deck he needed new trucks anyway, but they were gonna wait until later.



Tyler and Chris decided to invite their friends over Alex Brouse and Bam Margera so that they could skate together. While they were skating Chris decided to show the crew his new trick that he created called the "Space-walk". Chris's trick was pretty cool but then it was Tyler's turn, and he decided to do a trick he'd been working on for a while called the "Death-Bird". After he did his trick it was pretty silent for a while. Bam decided to brake the silence by telling us about two famous skaters named Mike Valley and Mike Mo Capaldi, who were skating in two days. Tyler said that they should go see Mike Valley because he is one of the best skaters. Chris said that we should go see Mike Mo Capaldi.
A: Go see Mike Valley.
B: Go see Mike Mo Capaldi.



Christopher wanted to go see Mike Mo Capaldi. Meanwhile, while they were waiting for Alex and Bam the doorbell rung, it was Alex and Bam. The 4 skaters headed downtown to skate the Temple Gaps.
When they arrived Christopher and Tyler were in shock to the left their was Mike Valley Air walking the 12 stair and headed towards the right their was Mike Mo he 720 flipped over Bams Lamborghini. Christopher hopped out the car and went up and shook Mike Mo's hand while Tyler and Mike V were talking. Christopher asked Mike Mo how'd he 720 flipped so high so Mike Mo gave him a quick lesson. Christopher could not do it Mike Mo suggested that he needs at least two weeks of practice so they both agreed. Christopher got his autograph and his phone number and then Mike Mo and Mike V left they were on their way to Woodward. The 4 skaters skated the gap for about an hour then Bam Margera took Tyler and Christopher to Zumiez he couldn't stand the condition of their skateboards. When they arrived to Zumiez Christopher purchased a Beavis and Butthead Girl deck with Spitfire Barrens, Thunder Trucks, Black Magic Grip Tape, Hubba Wheels, and a pair of Etnies. Tyler got a Darkstar deck with Black Magic Griptape,Kryptonic Shock- Lock Trucks. When they were settled Bam took the 3 skaters to WestChester back at a skate park named Woodward. When they arrived they saw Mike Mo, Mike V, Rodney Mullen, and Shaq, this was quite funny Shaq got on the board slipped and fell off and smacked his head on the rail but he was fine. Mike Mo skated up to Chris and gave him a Girl jacket and told him he was sponsored by Girl. Christopher was filled with excitement but he was a little to happy he tried to skate and tripped over his foot and was out cold.

Lesson Reflection:Google Search

•How will you use the tools you've learned about.
•Google Search for your other classes?
•Which tool ( similiar words, number ranges, conversions etc. )
do you beleive you will use the most? Why?
•Which tool do you beleive you will use the least? Why?


:Starting with the tool similiar words, if i was to search on Google for car parts
I would type in a specific part other than just typing in car pats because it
would give me alot of results instead of the one thing i am looking for.

:I would use Google search for my other classes for an example for Rela
if i was to search for Saw i would type ''saw'' so i can get the actually saw instead the movie.
This tool is called Find Meanings.

:The tool i think i'll use he most is the conversion tool because i'm not so good
in Math so i'd have to use that tool to sometimes find my answers sometime for homework.

:The tool i think i'll use the least is Find Meanings because i don't usually search definitions online
i prefer using a dictionary because you don't get the correct definition all the time.
