Extreme sports - go on, have a go!

Initially this week's extreme sports was going to be water ski-ing.... but Joe's mummy hit a few problems like a) where would we ski b) what would we use for skis and c) how would I stay upright on the skis bearing in mind my rather ample posterior which makes me back heavy.

So we opted for me becoming a skater boy after Liam and Joe made me a skateboard out of their mobilo. And then their daddy set about constructing a half pipe (whatever one of those is, it looks like a ramp to me!). Have a look to see how I got on.... that pin holding my tail to my bottom was a little painful but it held me upright brilliantly! Cool tricks huh?



Can you spot the mistake? Yes that's right, I did not have the proper safety gear on. But as you can see, that in itself had some problems. I didn't even attempt the elbow and knee pads!



We did have a 2nd option for the extreme activity to post today, but I think I will save that for next week. Don't want to run out of crazy ideas before the end of the year!
