For 30 days I'm going to be trying to learn some BMX tricks and other BMX bike related things like the history of them.

DAY 28
Two days to go before the 30 day challenge is over! I like how mine has unfolded though. It was pretty fun. I'm home for the weekend again so I couldn't ride my bike today. I did ride it some Friday, to and from class. In the time I was riding I did try to pop a wheelie and hold it; but I could only hold it for a very short amount of time. That's it for today though.

DAY25
today I felt whorrible and my alarm didnt go off. So I didnt go to my A.M classes. I did ride my bike later in the day to my 4 AM though. jumped over some curbs and rode no handed. However I was in a hurry. not a productive day at all...

DAY 24
Today I experimented with trailing people on my bike, it's increasingly harder to petal because of the added weight. I have also been trying to bunny hopp more, I pretty sure i can hop higher now. If I practice right after someone gets off the back it makes hopping alot easier for me. I'm also going to start jumping off of stair cases on campus. This will help me with my landing. other than that i just ride no handed more now and havent done much else.

DAY 23
Today I got home late so again no bike riding =(. I did however work on my English for a couple hours today (like3), taking pictures, clipping them together, and writing the reflection. other than that it was a pretty slow day. I feel kind of bad, things haven't been going in my favor, and I'm pretty sure I have legit ruined my life. Sorry this is pretty short, again though, no bike riding today. tomorrow for sure.

DAY 22
Today was a fun day. I didn't get to ride a bike but I did walk around the Greenfield Riley Festival. I ate some really greasy pizza with a couple of cute girls and then got Taco Bell for everyone before we left tow. Hopefully tomorrow though!

DAY21
Today I didn't ride my bike much before I came back home for the weekend. Mostly because it was raining pretty bad outside. I did ride to Woodworth for a bite of pizza however. It was really to wet to do much today though. Maybe I'll practice some tomorrow if I can find a bike, since mine is back on campus.

DAY 19
today I rode my bike everywhere. I also practiced the bunny hop and riding with no hands. That said, I think I'm actually better at riding no handed now. I still don't quite trust myself riding around people no handed though. I think tomorrow I might really start on trying to ride a wheelie. It's kind of complicated; but I feel I can do it by the end.

Day 17
DAY 17
Today I didn't ride to much it was another slow day. I did ride to my classes and to the library later in the day. I tried hopping over a curb on the way to my TCMP111 class and the back tire didn't quite make it. This is extremely bad because it stresses the rims and tires beyond belief. If you have low tires it can actually pop them, or bend the rim. The bike I had before this actually had a pretty bad back rim from where I hit it on the curb.
This challenge is A LOT more challenging than I had imagined. It takes quite a bit of time to learn new tricks, even simple ones. So far I've learned that I'm pretty clumsy with a bike. Only a couple more days of this challenge though!
