My Special Day

Fraser Greig

I heard of Transgression, the skate park, from my friend. He told me it was great so I decided to go the following week. It was at Ocean Terminal in Leith. So I made my way here with my friend.

When I got there excitement started to flow through me. I got my bike out of the car and cycled into the shop till I reached Transgression. As I walked in I could see the professionals on their BMXs jumping very high over the spine jump.

The minute my front wheel touched the wood I felt so happy. I made my way over to the table top jump and tried it. The sense of achievement and joy made me smile.

I thought about doing a 180 spin over the table top but decided against it. The pain that I felt falling became less and less sore every time I fell.

After five minuets of thinking about doing it I tried it. I fell off but was happy that I tried it and nearly done it. What would happen if there was no Transgression?
