One time I was on my skateboard riding back home when I got to a busy intersection. I had to wait for my light to turn green so while I waited, I tried out new skateboard tricks on the sidewalk. Luckily I didn't fall in front of everyone or else that would be embarrassing. Well my light eventually turned green and as I was crossing, I saw a little piece of wood in the middle of the road. I thought it would be pretty cool if I could ollie or jump over it with my skateboard. It was the easiest trick in the book. There was no way I could fall. I fell. I fell in front of every car at the intersection. I got up and brushed the dirt off my butt. Everyone laughed. Some people cars honked their cars because they were laughing so hard, they wanted me to know their cars were laughing with them. I picked up my skateboard and walked the rest of the way home. I cried. My skateboard cried. I never tried an ollie again.
