Summer in Utah

It is almost my birthday and this is one of my presents. A Ripstick. My cousin, Chase, taught me how to ride one while I was at his new house in Washington. I'm getting really good at it. I can do a lot of tricks like the Hang Ten, Hang Twenty, Wheely Spin, Manual, Nose Manual and Curb Grind. I'm doing a curb grind in this picture.


This is me overlooking part of Bountiful.

Recently me and my brothers and my Grandpa Peck went on a hike through some of the mountains. It was five miles there and back. Going there was uphill but going back was easier. I'm probably at the highest point on the trail. After the hike my legs felt like they were about to fall off!

Jacob, do they have rip sticks in Germany? You should take pictures doing tricks in different places in Germany! :)
